Al Cimaglia: Hoosier Park Late PIck 4 Analysis | Saturday, June 29, 2024

Hoosier Park has a 12-race card. The 0.50 Late Pick 4 starts in Race 9, and the sequence will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 9 (9:56 PM EST)

1-Grand Revival (5/2)-Didn't set the world on fire in Kentucky. Shipped back and raced evenly to finish 3rd versus straight Open company. Now gets some class relief and returns to face the same kind it beat on April 6. Should get a cozy trip, and if so, has no excuse for not taking a picture.

Race 10 (10:18 PM EST)

1-Lyin' Eyes (3-1)-Beaten chalk versus the same type in last should get an efficient trip. Does well racing near the top of the stack and that's where this girl should be.
3-Jada Caroline (7/2)-Comes off a sharp win in a quick mile and is now looking for its 3rd straight. Regular pilot Atlee Bender should be aggressive at the start and could be right there at the wire again.
5-Teelatini (6-1)-Went off at 1/5 and didn't disappoint on 6-22 and now steps-up to face a much tougher group. The price should be right to take a swing in the 2nd start on Lasix. Should be rolling down the lane, and could catch the leader if in striking range at the head of the stretch.

Race 11 (10:40 PM EST)

3-Adashious Hanover (4-1)-Picked up a win with a sharp drive by Trace Tetrick and now faces a bigger test. Tetrick could put this mare in a position to win and should offer a square price.
5-Elegant A (10-1)-Won, then stepped up to this level and didn't really have a chance. Should get a better trip and might surprise at a big price.
8-Walkin On Sunshine (7/2)-Beat straight Open company but was DQ'd last time. Faces easier, the post makes the price and there should be an honest pace. This mare can leave, get a good seat, and then look to roll by down the lane.

Race 12 (11:02 PM EST)

8-Bridge To Jesse's (9/2)-Was a beaten chalk against this kind in last, and at 11 doesn't bring its A-game every night. This is an ugly race, could get off the gate here and land a decent seat. Will rely on John De Long to put the veteran in play and be in the hunt at the wire.
9-Deadline Hall (7/2)-Makes its HoP debut and should relish the company. Has been working on smaller ovals but took a 3-year-old mark last year at M1 in 153.3. This is a race without much form. Although 0-8 this year, this could be a spot to wake up as this is a field full of question marks.
