Al Cimaglia: Hoosier Park Late Pick 4 Analysis | Friday, June 16, 2023

Hoosier Park has a 13-race program featuring Indiana Sires stakes action. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 11, and the sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 11

5-Buzzsaw Russ (5/2)-Made it look easy in the 3rd start off the bench and drew off by 7-length at 3/2. Should be tested in what appears to be a 2-horse race.
7-Coach Stefanos (2-1)-Was an odds-on choice and fired hot off the bench to beat this kind in Leg 1. Starts outside, has
been off since 5-29 and this race may still have to go through the Erv Miller trainee.

Race 12

5-Art It Is (2-1)-Appeared to need both starts off the bench and will look for an improvement here. Drops to a competitive level and it's doubtful the winner will go in 149.2 this week.
6-Parklane Odds (5/2)-The one above should be ready to battle to the wire. But Tetrick can have this Trent Stohler entry in the hunt from the word "go". Could take down the morning line choice with the right trip.

Race 13

4-Dealers Table's (4-1)-Put in a sharp qualifier on 6-10 of 151.2 on the engine and won by almost 3 lengths. Willing to take a swing that the connections will have this one ready for action. This is a good spot for a picture if dialed on high.
5-Alwaystellthetruth (3-1)-Gets some class relief and like the one above could benefit. Tetrick is between the pipes for his 2nd straight steer and the 6-year-old has been slow off the gate in the last 2 races. Could dance with these but needs to land near the top of the stack after the wings fold.

Race 14

2-Six Again (4-1)-Hoping for some value in this leg and will overlook the last start after landing 11 lengths back at the 1st call. Has a shot for redemption versus this crew if returns to the form of 2 and 3 races back.
5-Lotsa Knock Us (20-1)-Steps up after putting in a flat line in the 2nd race of the season. Was used hard for the lead in last from post 8 and still closed with a 26.2 last panel. Gets post relief, has the gate speed to be forwardly placed and could surprise.
6-Mach Seelster (9/2)-Steps up after winning in the NW2 condition. Did benefit from an efficient trip but has the gate speed to get another good early seat. Hopefully, the breaking issues have been resolved, has put in 2 nice efforts, and will look for continued improvement at a nice price.

0.50 Late Pick 4

5,7/5,6/4,5/2,5,6
Total Bet=$12
