Throughout July, Tuesdays and Thursdays heat up at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet with our Red, White & Bet promotion. Bet $100, Get $10 on select tracks this month. Next up Tuesday will be Finger Lakes. Here’s how I’ll approach the card in New York with an assist from the Betmix Angler database.
Finger Lakes Race 2 | 1:24 pm ET
#6 The Brown Egg (7-2 morning line odds) showed vast improvement last out when dropping to this class level and adding blinkers. Horse who finished ahead of him there came back to beat winners next out by 6-1/2 lengths. Trainer Charlie Baker has won with 4 of 9 local starters in recent weeks. Win bet #6. Picks: 6-1-3.
Finger Lakes Race 6 | 3:20 pm ET
#7 Banking Silver (3-1 morning line odds) steps up in class naturally off a good maiden-breaker June 22, the classic “nibbler breaks out” candidate after several close losses. These types often win right back. No barn hotter than Rachel Sells in recent weeks at Finger Lakes and note this one beat an Aqueduct debut runner-up for Miguel Clement in that last win, a strong rival for a FL maiden heat. Even sprinter should like the route and barn excels with the stretch-outs. Win bet #7. Picks: 7-1-6.
