It's been quiet around here lately so I thought I would chip in a thought on a vertical play for Wednesday June 14th at Penn National Race Course. While scanning the PP's a potential improving horse popped off the page in race 5, a Pa bred MSW going 6f.
That horse was number 10, Bob's our uncle. Bob's a 4yo with only one start, not the type of horse we typically for. In that start Bob went postward at odds of 28-1 and finished 7th vs maiden claimers, So he's raising about one class level today.
Couple of things caught my eye. The first was a bullet work 8 days before his debut and the latter was the short running line included with the PP's. The running line description convinced me to go back and watch the replay. Well, Bob did get sandwiched pretty well at the start but then lodged an eye-catching run down the backside and into the far turn. Bob not only bid too early into the race but was forced vary wide while making that run. The horses that finished second and third in that event are back in this race which should only enhance his ML odds of 15-1. I'm giving this horse a long look tomorrow. While I focus on horizontal plays this may be one to include in your vertical bets.
Please give me your thoughts on Bob and good luck if you go to the windows
