Free Horse Picks 7-17-09

Below is today’s FREE horse selection(s). These plays have made a straight bet profit for over 15 years using the methods described in my Epic Exotics book.

Each day I will give one or two of the many plays one can make each and every day at racetracks around North America.

Today I go to Arlington Park race 1 for a Maiden Claiming race with a claiming price of $10,000. and a purse value of $14,280. This is a 8 ½ furlong race on the Synthetic so I am looking to make a score! I look at the ½ fractions and notice there should be a front runner; the number 1 horse Takeachanceonme. This is his first route and the AM line is 7/2. I love betting these front runners since many of them go gate to wire at big prices. I caught a couple of $24+ win payoffs at Fort Erie earlier in the week using this strategy. I expect horses like this to either win or finish out of the money.

His position is great for this race as there are two horses Forward Sail and Our Royal Prospect that should burn to the lead early, and our Jockey C. Emigh wins 27% of his mounts when he stalks the early leaders.

I will play #1 Takeachanceonme as my Key Horse.
