Mountaineer Park – Race 7

Claiming $10,000 n4L

6 furlongs on the dirt

Booty Man - - 8/1 online betting odds

8/1 to one on a dropper from a $16,000 to the $10,000 level and showing up with some of the best speed ratings of the bunch as well? Yes, Booty Man is the best overlay online bet in this race for those reasons. The knock, and it’s a big one, is that Booty Man hasn’t run since June and in that race, he lost by 20 lengths. Can he bounce back? We shall see. His trainer, Susan Anderson, has had a decent year and there’s no doubting Booty Man’s class. The online odds will be key as Booty Man becomes a serious underlay should he go off at 5 to 1 or less.

Royal Goliath - - 5/2 online betting odds

He’d be the pick if it weren’t for the fact that he absolutely is going to go off at incredibly low online odds. He’s going first off the claim for a winner, trainer Gina Stratton who hits at 27% with this sort of move, and gets one of Mountaineers’ top riders in D.L. Parker. He can lead or track and has two wins and three seconds out of six starts at Mountaineer. He’s the logical chalk.

Country Humor - - 5/1 online betting odds

Another going first time off the claim for a decent trainer. Stacey Cooper hits with 25% of her claims and Country Humor has the ability to either press Royal Goliath or close into fast fractions. I expect Humor to press the chalk as this race has come up lacking real speed. The big knock is that Humor hasn’t raced on the Mountaineer dirt surface yet. That could pose a problem.

Wagering Strategy

I’m going with Booty Man to win and place as well as using an trifecta box with Country Humor and Royal Goliath.

Good Luck!
