BAUER'S BETS: FAST & FIRM at TAMPA

 Today's Tampa feature comes in Race 8, Post time is scheduled for 4:08 PM. RadioStPete live coverage, including the call from announcer Jason Beam will start at 4:05.   

A full field of ten three year-old and up Fillies and Mares will travel a flat mile on the lawn under $27,000 NW1X conditions. It appears that this will be a good betting race, with the money spread around on several contenders.

WHY NOT TONITE (10) tries the Tampa turf coming off a handy three length score over $16,000 condition claiming foes at Monmouth on September 5. She has been away from the races since then, but has been busy in the mornings, logging a half dozen works. The last pair were promising local efforts. Five furlongs in a "bullet" 1:01 flat, followed by four panels in a snappy 47.2. Trainer Jesus Cruz claimed her and wins at 24% after a claim. Top tier  turf jock Jose Ferrer rode her in her last victory and returns today. He is riding in top form now, going 3 for 5 on opening day. Alot to like here at 8/1 on the morning line.

THE BET  $10 win and place on WHY NOT TONITE (10) and a $2 exacta box with LADY DOMINANCE (3) and TAPITS GIRL (6) 3,6,10               Total Bet $32     GOOD LUCK!!

PREVIOUS RESULTS 11/26  Had some success as our win and place bet finished second. We got a $8.60 place price and a $88.20 exacta. Collected $131.20 on the $32 bet, a profit of $99.20 for the day. We lost $38 on opening day, the bankroll is now plus $61.20

BAUER'S BETS: FAST & FIRM at TAMPA

  Race 8 showcases a competitive group of three-year old and upward and promises to present a wide open betting affair. A field of eight will sprint seven panels under $16,000 NW1X conditions. Post time is scheduled for 4:06 PM.

LITIGANT (2) is the runner who could pull an upset at a square price. This five-year-old gelding from the Gerard Ochoa barn sports a record of four wins from seven starts at the tricky seven furlong distance. He also likes the Oldsmar oval, being five for ten in the money, including a trio of wins. He reunites with regular rider Ronald Ordonez, they had a pair of victories in Tampa last season. This one has a good turn of early foot and should be prominent from the onset. Worth a bet at 12/1 on the morning line.

THE BET $10 win and place on LITIGANT (2) and a $2 exacta box with MYSTIC LINK (3) and GRAN RUNNER (5).   2,3,5.    Total Bet $32 GOOD LUCK!!

Live racing coverage including the call of announcer Jason Beam begins on RadioStPete.com at 4:03 PM.

PREVIOUS RESULTS  Lost $38 on Wednesday's card. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

 Gulfstream Park plans 8 races today, with a first post time of 12:30 PM.

It will be day 25 of the track’s Flamingo Festival; which runs through Nov. 21st.
