Monday at Beulah Park

Race 3
I've never had much luck picking winners in Columbus so I'll rely on hunches as I post my first ever online Beulah Park selection. Don Rowe is a familiar face at Thistledown who usually places his horses carefully. Searching for twitter connections to Ohio racing this morning I discovered jockey Edgar Paucar. Rowe sends JIMMY SCOTT to post here with his regular rider, Edgar up. Already a winner at this level the horse fits but cuts back in distance trying to repeat. Hopefully HIGH MAC and YOUR IN FOR HALF will hook up to make the pace right for "JIMMY."
  • Third by a length.
  • Closed willingly after being way off the loose leader YOUR IN FOR HALF after HIGH MAC missed the break. 
  • Hindsight being 100% it was silly to overlook the winner CLIFF'S BEST BET who is 4-1-2-0 since arriving from Turfway.

Race 6
It looks like MORMON METEOR has found a surface and competition level that he enjoys at Beulah. Facing winners off that maiden score could be a task but he'll probably be back in slop sporting the most consistent figs in the field.
  • Third by 4 or 5 lengths
  • Broke alertly but green bearing out entered the turn widest of all to finish evenly under kind handling
  • Probably worth keeping an eye on
