Wunderdog Free Horse Racing Pick  3/2/2012

Back to Tampa Bay today for the third day in a row.  Another beautiful day at Tampa and the track is fast.  Wunderdog's free horse pick today is race #4, a $8,000 maiden claiming event for 4 year olds and up run over 7 furlongs.  I notice that a lot of the free horse picks from Wunderdog come out of these type of races.  Its been my handicapping experience that 4 year old maiden races are usually won by "lightly" raced horses.  I've also noticed that in older maiden races, horses that have in the money finishes get over bet.  A lot of these horses turn out to be perpetual maidens.


Wunderdog's top choice #3 Oughterson is one of those lightly raced horses that was claimed at this level 2 races ago.  His last 2 starts were good races and the change of distance makes him a tough horse to beat.  


Our Wunderdog Value Play horse is # 4 Talk.  Wunderdog describes him as "not a win candidate" but a horse who has been improving off of a recent rest.  I'm not nuts about the comment but these kind of horses can win cheap older maiden races at a nice price.   


When the horses crossed the finish line the Wunderdog top pick was first.  Oughterson stalked behind the Wunderdog second selection #6 Sayyourprayersnow to the top of the lane and passed him mid stretch driving to the finish.  Oughterson paid $6.20 to win and $3.20 to place.  Sayyourprayersnow completed the exacta paying $3.40 to show and $27.40 in the exacta.


The free Value Play horse racing system pick, #4 Talk ran a much improved race and finished third.  The free system lost $20.00 for the day.
