Horse Players Pay Day – Mountaineer Racetrack Race

Despite Tuesday’s usually being a dark day for the Class A tracks in the United States, BetOnline is offering odds on some potential winners.

Horseplayers should take a stab at a race at Mountaineer Park, because Mountaineer often times provides full fields and plenty of overlay opportunities for bettors.

Let’s analyze Race 9 at Mountaineer on Tuesday.

Mountaineer Racetrack – - Race 9

Allowance $28,400 n3L

For Fillies and Mares Three Years Old and Up Which Have Never Won Three Races

5 ½ furlongs on dirt

Chase Em – - 6/1 morning line

2 for 2 at Mountaineer including a sensational maiden score by 14 lengths means that Chase Em certainly likes the track. She gets the perfect draw as the speed is to the inside of her. The odds makers must believe that she bounces in this race because she is going up in class, but speed is speed. If she can lay close and then take over at the top of the stretch, forget it. She’s the fastest.

Kitty Came Home – - 6/1 morning line

She finished second going a mile in her first try over the Mountaineer Racetrack dirt course. If she improves at all, then this thing could be over because she’s as fast as anything in here. The problem, of course, is that she gets the rail where the other speed can just watch her but because she’s out of Came Home, the class is there. She’s a serious contender at nice odds in this.

Girl Humor – - 7/5 morning line

The likely chalk should be tough in her first try over the Mountaineer main track, but there are some issues. First, even though she’s out of Distorted Humor, she looks to have some injury issues. Second, is she really that much faster than Chase Em and Kitty Came Home? I’m not sure about that. Class doesn’t always prevail going 5 ½ furlongs on dirt. If she gets caught in a speed duel or she isn’t on top of her game, then she could lose at very low odds.

Wagering Strategy

I like Chase Em to continue her winning streak and will bet her to win and place. I will put Chase Em, Girl Humor and Kitty Came Home into an exacta and trifecta box.
