Spot Plays for 6/19/2009

River Downs

Race 8: # 1 Grand Daddy makes his debut today and this well-bred son of Johannesburg should win for fun today. He has a ton of sharp workouts at the Skylight Training Center over their Pro-Ride all-weather surface and should be fit for today's run. Trainer Tom Drury, Jr. doesn't come to River often but when he does his horses are sharp and ready to roll. With Hector Rosario, Jr. in the saddle look for a winning run from Grand Daddy today.

Arlington Park

Race 8: # 6 Stormy Ballad returns to the scene of his maiden victory looking to win another today. He broke maiden against stakes company over this turf course and should handle the distance today. He might be the lone speed in this group and has the skills to handle soft as well as firm turf. With the bug boy Mike Straight in the irons look for Stormy Ballad to score at a decent price.

Race 10: # 10 Elle Tish Slew makes her third start off of a layoff and should get the job done today. She won in her return to the races then regressed a bit. She tried to weave her way through traffic and just couldn't get up. She gets a more turf-mined rider in James Graham who has a way of getting these type runners through traffic. Look for Elle Tish Slew to get home on top today.
