00:00We'd like to hook up with Gino Bacola from the Daily Racing Forum on Fridays to get us

00:08ready for a synthetic weekend at Saratoga and Del Mar, a big Saturday.

00:15You can follow Gino at it's me, Gino B, on X for free.

00:22And of course, what is the site again?

00:24The dailyracingforum.com?

00:25DRF.com and then shop.drf.com, that's where you get all the research information, the

00:32past performances.

00:33If you need a little bit of help, some of our experts have betting strategies, so they'll

00:37show you exactly how they're betting and what they're doing, and hopefully I can lead you

00:40to a few in the right direction.

00:42I think we have a couple plays for you at Saratoga, a couple at Del Mar, and then we'll

00:47give you a little NFL over on a win total if we have some time at the end.

00:51All right, let's start with Saturday at the spa.

00:55Where are we headed here?

00:56It looks like the 8th and 10th races.

00:59Yes, and it's been bad weather so far the last few weeks, so I'm going to give you two

01:04races with horses that are on dirt races, so even if it does rain and there's some changing

01:09around, these races, I think, and these horses should be in those spots.

01:13Let's start in race number eight with the number six, Rocketeer.

01:16This is a horse who I think there's a key equipment change, Scott.

01:20A horse is going to add the blinkers, and what happens when you put the blinkers on,

01:24it just gives you a little more focus.

01:26You tend not to look around as much.

01:28Rocketeer has been sitting in perfect spots, moved to the front, took the lead, and then

01:32what happens, he kind of waits on horses when he strikes the front because he can't see,

01:37starts looking around, there's nobody else there, and he sort of waits, waits, waits.

01:40Other horses come back to him, and then he kicks on again.

01:42I think those blinkers will give him some focus.

01:44He's four and a half to one on the morning line, nine to two.

01:47I think that's a very fair price.

01:49There you go, Rocketeer, the six horse in the eighth race.

01:54All right, what about the tenth race?

01:56This is the big one at Saratoga on Saturday.

01:59It's the Alabama.

02:00It's a stakes race for three-year-old fillies.

02:02Top three-year-old filly right now, Torpedo Anna.

02:04She's going to face the boys, so this is a cool opportunity for a lot of the fillies

02:08that are very good, but they're not quite as good as her, and I think one of them is

02:11Power Squeeze, another horse who's in that same price range.

02:14She's four and a half to one.

02:15We're looking at the time form US card that gives you a lot of different information about

02:19the race, and I think this is a horse who has foundation.

02:23She's kind of a grinder, so the longer they go, I think it'll be fine for her.

02:26She just sits nicely and just keeps coming at you.

02:28She's a tough horse to wear down.

02:30She battles.

02:31Those are my two at the spa.

02:33Both of them should be right in that four, four and a half to one range.

02:36My wife, 34C, I could also add a new nickname for her now, Power Squeeze.

02:42I like that.

02:43I may move in that direction.

02:45Starting tomorrow, if Power Squeeze, if she comes through for us, I will change her name

02:51from 34C to Power Squeeze.

02:53All right, let's go out west where it's best.

02:55Surf and turf at Del Mar on Saturday.

02:58By the way, it's supposed to be just kind of crappy at Saratoga tomorrow.

03:02Overcast Sunday.

03:04It's supposed to rain there, but I'm seeing just overcast tomorrow, so they might be able

03:08to get these races in no problem without a sloppy track.

03:12All right, Del Mar, fourth race and eighth race.

03:14Let's start with the fourth race.

03:16Yeah, we're looking at race number four.

03:18We're going to go to the outside with the number nine in here.

03:20Thought process.

03:21This is a horse who sprinted in the first start and now is going to stretch out and

03:26go to the grass.

03:27And what's key about that is her dam.

03:29This horse's mom was very good going long on the turf.

03:32So bred to do this with a little bit of experience going shorter.

03:36This horse is three and a half to one on the morning line.

03:38I have a feeling she's going to get bet down a little bit.

03:41Might be a little buzz on her because she fits really well on this spot.

03:44That's the first of two at Del Mar.

03:47All right, and the eighth race.

03:49Yeah, this is the big race at Del Mar.

03:50It's the Del Mar Oaks.

03:52Maduro, the number six.

03:53She had a troubled trip last time out.

03:56She started to move and she just ran right into traffic.

03:58She had nowhere to go.

03:59She had to wait, wait, wait, and then angle around.

04:02I think she'll get a better trip in this spot.

04:04She's five to one on the morning line.

04:06If we can get anything around seven to two or above, that's very fair value on her.

04:10We actually did a full analysis of this race on the DRF YouTube channel.

04:15So you get little looks at the replays of other races and other graphics and stuff.

04:19If you really want to get deeper in the weeds on that one.

04:22That's awesome.

04:22All right, now we go to Gino B's NFL total spectacular snags.

04:29And you're going to go with who this week?

04:31Yeah, this week we're going to go for an over and we're going to play the Jags over.

04:35This is a team that we all thought about a year ago was going to be kind of the next team

04:40in the AFC.

04:41And then everybody sort of jumped off them real quickly.

04:44Remember, this is a team that started out eight and three last year.

04:47And then Lawrence got hurt.

04:49He had a couple different injuries, the ankle, the concussion, the AC joint.

04:52And to be honest, he didn't really play that well in spots too.

04:55He didn't take the step forward that we were really hoping.

04:58But I think he's better.

04:59And this team's a little bit better than the overall kind of feel for them right now.

05:03So they were one in five down the stretch.

05:06Before that, this team was 15 and five over a 20 game stretch.
