Pompano Park kicks-off their winter meet tonight with a 9-race card. The feature will roll in Race 7 an Open 1 Pace with a $10,000 purse. The Pick 4 sequence at the "Winter Capital of Harness Racing" begins in Race 6, it has a low 12% takeout and will be my focus.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 6
2-Dee's Rocketman-Should like the company and does like the track, best to respect.
4-Andreios Kardia-Fits with these and could win at a square price but off since 9/22 like #2.
7-A Cool Card-Comes back in 7 days, in from HoP, should be a price and will take a swing.
Race 7
3-Panocchio-Hennessey's choice over #2 and #5, could win in 1st start off the bench.
4-Hot Art-Has been racing well at HoP and if takes to the smaller oval could pop at a nice price.
6-Kotare Yael N-Comes off a win at RcR and fits with this crew, could blast out and get the top.
Race 8
2-Sgt Grit-Drew well and can stay in the hunt, shows wins unlike others in a soft field.
4-Uptown Sleaze-Midwest invader is 7/5 ML chalk, not crazy about short price but can't leave out.
6-Dinky Dune-Similar to #4, 2-1 in the ML and looks like a player if takes to the smaller oval.
Race 9
3-Lyons Johnny-Drops into a good spot and has gone some fast miles at the Pomp.
9-Casimir Quasimodo-4-yr-old has speed and can leave, if takes to the surface could compete at long odds.
$1 Pick 4
2,4,7/3,4,6/2,4,6/3,9
Total Bet=$54
