Horseplayers at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet play for extra cash in September with the Fall into Fortune promotion. Bet $100, Get $10 on select tracks each Tuesday and Thursday. Up next on Tuesday: Finger Lakes. Here are my key plays in New York with an assist from the Betmix database.
Finger Lakes: Race 4 | 2:22 pm ET
#2 Vino’s Valentine (8-1 morning line odds) has been vastly improved since being claimed in April and has settled in competitively in the Finger Lakes allowance ranks since arriving from Florida. Trainer Ilmar Loaiza’s barn has been hot the past 2 weeks with a 10: 4-1-2 mark, including 3-for-3 with 5-1/2 furlong dashers like this. Win-place 2. Exacta key-box 2 with 3,4,6.
Finger Lakes: Race 6 | 3:20 pm ET
#1 Mayheminthepalace (5-1 morning line odds) is another 5-1/2 furlong dasher for the aforementioned Ilmar Loaiza outfit (past 2 weeks 10: 4-1-2 mark, including 3-for-3 at 5-1/2F). The one doesn’t need much improvement off a good third at this level and should be rolling late. Win-place 1. Exacta key-box 1 with 2,6.
