***LATE PICK 5 TICKET ANALYSIS BELOW!!!***

LATE PICK 5 CARRYOVER SEQUENCE: HOW I PLAY IT

By Matt Dinerman

You like carryovers? Look no further. Golden Gate Fields has a Late Pick 5 carryover on Sunday, November 20!

$39,127 is the carryover amount. Races 5 through 9 is the sequence, with post time for Leg 1 at 2:45 PM PT. 48 horses are entered throughout the five-race sequence, which equates to 9.6 horses per race.

Here is how I play our Sunday Late Pick 5:

Race 5: Hard knocking $16,000 claiming sprinters kick off the Late Pick 5 bet. My top pick in the race is #2 Horse Doctor, who won at this level on October 30 and obviously should be listed as a main contender again. Before a lengthy vacation from July of 2020 to September of 2022, Horse Doctor was running competitively against allowance foes in Kentucky. #3 Foreign Protocol and #1 Windribbon, who ran second and third behind Horse Doctor on October 30, also make this ticket as does #6 Great Story, the speed of the speed who drops out of allowance company and could be very competitive with the class relief in mind. (STRATEGY: In a race with no standouts, we are going to play conservatively, get some coverage, and use these four horses on the ticket.)

Race 6: 2-year-old maiden special weight sprinters comprise the second leg of the Pick 5 sequence. #2 Running On Fire comes off a runner up finish in his career debut while in for a high maiden claiming condition. That day, he lost to O B’s, who earned a big speed figure for the level and returned to defeat winners. Second time out for trainer Steve Specht, our top pick is now in a maiden special weight and protected from being claimed. We see this move as a positive sign. Not to mention Specht wins at a strong 20% clip with maiden second time starters. #9 Matt’s Monster was last seen settling for second behind a runaway winner who was very well regarded. A repeat effort makes Matt’s Monster the one to beat against this slightly easier group. #6 Enjoy the Moment has been working well for his career debut and merits respect. His trainer is cagey-and one who is very capable of popping first out. The pedigree indicates he may want a little more ground, but he has posted sharp gate drills in the mornings and could be a halfway decent price. (STRATEGY: We’ll use the top three picks and hope we can make it to the next leg.)

Race 7: A full field of 12 non-winners of two races lifetime (N2L) sprint in this one. #3 Armour Plate will be the heavy favorite after a runner up finish at the $12,500 N2L condition for trainer Steve Miyadi, who is 5 for 15 (33%) so far this Fall Meet. If he is to pick up a victory against winners, it’ll be against this group, which is far from stellar. Only problem: he is 1 for 27 lifetime. Hard to single a horse like that, and one could make an argument the sharp class drop is suspicious. If Armour Plate disappoints, #12 Holyjazz could also be in the mix for a gold medal. He thrived over the Tapeta when breaking his maiden for $5,000 last time out and now takes the next logical step to this $4,000 N2L condition. (STRATEGY: In a full field of 12 with horses that are tough to trust, some may spread. I opt to use the only two runners in the race that I like.)

Race 8: An allowance sprint on Tapeta is the penultimate leg of the Late Pick 5. #3 To Speight Her was purchased for $100,000 as a 2-year-old in training last year and is already doing good things for his connections in 2022. On September 5, the son of Speightstown beat a group of maiden special weight foes at Del Mar dashing five furlongs on turf. In his next and most recent afternoon appearance, To Speight Her acted up before the race, unseated his rider and ran loose for a short period of time. He made it to the starting gate, broke well, went to the lead, and was ultimately collared in the final yards by Johnny Podres. The aforementioned foe had just won at this level on Tapeta by six lengths, narrowly missing the track record by .03 seconds. All things considered, To Speight Her ran a massive race. He appears as the lone speed in this spot and, if he takes to the synthetic and can be effective going an extra sixteenth of a mile, will be awfully tough to reel in. (STRATEGY: Here is our single. We cross our fingers, hope he takes to the “new” surface, and comes with his ‘A’ race.)

Race 9: The nightcap, in this writer’s opinion, is the most competitive race in the Late Pick 5 sequence. Plenty of runners make the ticket. The top selection is first time starter #8 I’m a Lucky Man, a son of Grade I winning sprinter Dads Caps. Trainer Jamey Thomas (18% with firsters) always has his first-out sprinters fit and ready to roll. #4 Mystic Tbilisi is another debut character that makes the cut. #3 Blazen Grazen was last seen finishing behind extremely impressive first-time starter Heavenly Prince (my second pick in Race 8) and is a use. #5 Easter Tribute and #9 Idiot’s Gold enter this race off layoffs and have shown promise for their connections while #10 Sixty Four G T O suffered a horrendous trip last time out and deserves another chance in the second start of his current form cycle. (STRATEGY: In a wide-open nightcap for maiden special weight sprinters, we’ll spread.)
