The Tampa Tribune
Published: April 19, 2008
Tribune handicapper Michael David picks today’s races at Tampa Bay Downs:
RACE 1: (7) Capture the Beauty, second against similar; (1) Lookslikelightnin, front runner has better post today; (5) Kyla’a Treasure, takes class drop to score.
RACE 2: (8) Diamond Steal, the one to catch; (2) Beau Bock, third in local start; (1) Flush Flop, shipper gets class relief.
RACE 3: (5) Carebehr, lone win at this track and distance; (1) Kentucky River, lost last by a neck; (3) Stephi Babe, in easier race today.
RACE 4: (4) Brickell, should win on class; (9) Solar Surprise, good Tampa record; (3) Dakota Max, chance for a minor share.
RACE 5: (4) Lynn O, won last by six lengths; (2) Champagne Sunrise, best at this two-turn distance; (8) Caricaturist, in top form now.
RACE 6: (2) Field Sport, strong finish in turf debut; (6) Alie’s Doublecross, disqualified and placed second in last; (3) King Crimson, bred for the turf.
RACE 7: (5) Expect Validity, first start for sharp new barn; (6) Patched, on a two-race win streak; (8) Hi Poppy, chance for a minor award.
If I were a betting man, I’d put a few quid on No 3 in Race 6. (No 7 in Race 1 and No 5 in Race 7 sound like RF aphorisms to me)."
