Spot Plays for 5/21/2009

River Downs

Race 8: # 7 Pretty Big Deal ships in from Presque Isle today and should improve. Some horses just don't take to the Tapeta up there and horses returning to regular dirt do very well. He turns back to a sprint distance today and gets the underated rider Manfredi Guzman in the irons. Look for Pretty Big Deal to pull an upset today.

Race 12: # 4 Duty Roster returns to River from Indy should run well. His last River outing was solid and might have been a little over his head at Indy. He shortens up to a distance that he really likes and should improve greatly. Yuri Yaranga returns to the irons today for Joe Woodard

Arlington Park

Race 4: # 4 Editors Ransom makes her first start of the year and should fire first off the bench. She won for fun last out and since has put in a couple of solid workouts to prep for this race. She does really well over polytrack and should fit in nicely with this bunch. Junior Alvarado is a solid jockey and should get Editors Ransom home first today

Race 8: # 6 Xena's Emperor gets on the turf for the first time today and should get to the wire first. He ran well over the poly before getting tired and should step his game up on the lawn. He is bred to run on the grass and gets a turf-mined rider in James Graham who is one of the best on the grounds. Look for Xena's Emperor to take the top spot today.
