Second Horse Pick of the Day

The Fairgrounds will often showcase the sort of fields that sports betting fans like to see when making online racebook bets.

Rarely is a race at the Fairgrounds a short field. Often times there are at least 10 to 12 horses running in the races at the Fairgrounds. That can make things difficult for online raceboook fans but the flip side of that is that horse betting fans are treated to overlays in most of the races.

Hopefully, the Horse Pick of the Day for Saturday turns out to be a profitable overlay for online racebook fans.

Let’s get to it!

Fairgrounds Racetrack - - Race 9

Sugar Bowl Stakes

$60,000

For Two Year Olds

6 furlongs on dirt

It Happened Again - - 8/1 online betting odds

It Happened Again is coming off of a maiden victory at Philadelphia Park. There’s really no reason for this son of Proud Citizen to be in this race. Oh, wait a sec. It Happened Again is trained by Larry Jones. Larry Jones is one of the best trainers in the country. His ability to get his horses ready off of lay-offs is astounding. Jones brought his charge over to the Fairgrounds in November. The fact that It Happened Again has been firing bullets in the morning says that he’s a live contender at nice overlaid online betting odds.

Valid Stripes - - 10/1 online betting odds

Valid Stripes won by eleven lengths in his last race, a restricted $50,000 dollar stakes race at Retama. Don’t let the fact that Valid Stripes ran at Retama fool you. This is a quality animal that could stalk the pace and then take off at the top of the stretch. He’s a major player in this.

Beer Pong - - 5/1 online betting odds

Trainer Tom Amoss sends out this son of Drewman that is coming off of a nice allowance victory in his last. Amoss is winning at a 31% clip at the meet. That means that Beer Pong will be live in this race. He can lay off the speed before making a charge in the lane which is probably the thing to do since there is a ton of speed in here. Beer Pong is yet another horse with a serious chance for the top prize.

Wagering Strategy

I’m going to make an online bet on It Happened Again to win and place. I will also put into an exacta and trifecta box with Beer Pong and Valid Stripes.

Good Luck!
