Harness Analyst – Adios Day

We have Grand Circuit harness racing action at The Meadows today (Jul. 29), highlighted by the sophomore male pacers knocking heads in The Adios.

Here is my full-card analysis and multi-race ticket ideas:

Best Bet – (6) RISENSHINE SEASIDE – Race 1

Spot Play – (9) CALVIN K – Race 8

50-Cent Pick 4 – Race 1 – 6/1,2/3,6,7,8/4,6 = $8

50-Cent Pick 5 – Race 3 – 3,6,7,8/6/2/1,2,3/1,3,4,9 = $24

50-Cent Pick 4 – Race 5 – 2/1,2,3/1,3,4,5/3,6,9 = $18

20-Cent Pick 8 – Race 8 – 3,6,9/3/4,5,6,7/2,3,4,9/5/1,7,8/1,4/3 = $43.20

50-Cent Pick 4 – Race 9 – 3/4,5,6,7/2,3,4,9/2,5 = $16

50-Cent Pick 5 – Race 11 – 2,3,4,9/2,5/1,7,8/1,4/3 = $24

50-Cent Pick 4 – Race 13 – 1,7,8/1,4/3/2,4 = $6

Race 1 – 6-5-1-4

(6) RISENSHINE SEASIDE just dominated most of these while taking a new life’s mark of 1:48 3/5. He is the clear one to beat at a short price.

Race 2 – 6-1-2-4

(6) ACT FAST is in considerably easier here dropping out of an Adios elimination and he should be tough vs. these.

Race 3 – 6-7-8-3

(6) THE NIGHTS WATCH has been solid in this class recently and he gets a slight nod in a well-matched field.

Race 4 – 6-4-7-8

(6) GINGER TREE BELLE was narrowly beaten in the PA All Stars and she should be tough to beat here.

Race 5 – 2-3-1-6

(2) MIKIS BEST SHOT looks to stay unbeaten here and she has a very good chance of doing so in this short field.

Race 6 – 3-2-1-6

(3) COMMANDER FRANK is the fastest colt in here and he should be right there if he minds his manners tonight.

Race 7 – 4-9-3-1

(4) SPORTSMANSHIP was re-claimed by Presto and he gets the nod here in a field that has several live options.

Race 8 – 9-3-6-2

(9) CALVIN K made two moves when claimed and he gets Palone now; price play from the widest post.

Race 9 – 3-6-1-2

Unbeaten (3) ROSE RUN ZEKE tuned up for this Arden Downs division with a sharp qualifier over this track and he is strictly the one to beat.

Race 10 – 4-5-6-7

Good betting race here. The nod goes to (4) BIG BOY ERNEST, who comes into the race in peak form.

Race 11 – 9-4-2-3

(9) STRONG POISON just knocked heads with Sylvia Hanover who would be 1 to 9 in this field. This filly can win here despite drawing widest.

Race 12 – 5-2-1-3

(5) ANGELPEDIA raced great in defeat in the Topkins-Geers and she should be very tough in here but expect a short price.

Race 13 – 8-7-1-4

Wide-open race here. I’ll take a shot with (8) STAY LUCKY who will break through for the Burke Brigade soon and should offer a good price from the widest post.

Race 14 – 1-4-6-5

(1) VICIOUS just won in a lifetime-best 1:49-flat here and he is the one to beat off that sparkling mile.

Race 15 – 3-4-5-6

(3) ITS MY SHOW broke a track record in his elimination and to this point of the season, the only colt that looks his equal is Confederate, who isn’t here. His 2023 unbeaten streak should remain intact today.

Race 16 – 4-2-6-7

(4) ROCKED N LOADED is in much easier here and he should get back on track vs. this group.
