Selections for 9/24/16 -- HANDICAPPING HEROES

The Handicappers are taking on the late pick 4 at Churchill Downs beginning with race eight on a Downs After Dark Saturday. They know the odds may get a bit askew with the millennials and Generation X crowd descending upon the track...but the boys have never let prices (or lack of them) discourage them...they just pick winners. As Scott has said before...we can only control our selections, not the odds. 

SCOTT HARRIS 

Race 8 -- Maiden Special Weight $43,000 -- 1 1/16 miles

(2) December Seven is a closer that adds Lasix for the first time and gets cagey JAmes Graham in the saddle. (6) Burntwood will have popular rider Brian Hernandez Jr in the saddle and has improved each of his last three (4) Up the Flue could surprise at a nice price. (3) Our Track just missed at Ellis last time out and should appreciate the stretch out.

SELECTIONS -- 2-6-4-3



Race 9 -- Dogwood Stakes $100,000 -- 7 furlongs

(6) Saharan comes to town for James Jerkins...Jerkins doesn't ship them much out of New York, so he must think he has a great chance to win this one. (7) Mines and Magic will make it interesting...Robby Albarado gets the call. (8) Emmzy will be the likely favorite and nothing wrong with Brian Hernandez Jr doing the piloting. (1) Grace's Treasure completes the superfecta. 

SELECTIONS -- 6-7-8-1



Race 10 -- PresUAEC-- $100,000 Grade 1 -- 1 1/16 miles  (Arabians) 

(1) Paddy's Day gets Calvin Borel and has been first or second his last seven times out. Respect and hope for a decent price. (6) Sand Victor actually beat Paddy's Day last time out and Corey Lanerie climbs on. (5) Thess is Awesome will contend for the lead and may have enough to hold on. (4) Lady Ha Ha  leaves the fillies only affairs and takes on the boys. 

SELECTIONS -- 1-6-5-4



Race 11 -- Claiming -- $8,000 N2L -- 1 1/16 miles

(9) Scarecrow looks the best to Scott in this wide open lower level claiming closer. (2) Alabama Slim hopes to "roll, Tide...roll" past these in the stretch. (4) Say Hey Kid gets off the turf but should handle the dirt just fine. (8) Burley Blaise comes in from Ellis, where he just missed last time out for trainer Ian Wilkes. 

SELECTIONS -- 9-2-4-8
