Frank Carulli: Laurel Park Bet $100/Get $20 Picks | Friday, March 15, 2024

Bet $100 and Get $20. Sounds good, doesn’t it? It’s happening every Friday in March at Laurel Park, compliments of 1/ST BET and Xpressbet. Make any bets you want to qualify – win, exacta, daily double, trifecta, you name it. Here are my picks for the nine-race card this Friday, March 15:

LRL Race 3 (1:25 p.m. EST) -- DAVYJONZ passed his first long-distance test, riding the rail after a bumpy start and getting up for second behind a runaway favorite dropping from Maiden Special Weight company. GLASS OF COURAGE finished in the money in five consecutive route races at this level to start his career, all but one of which produced a follow-up winner. Use those two runners in the leadoff leg of a Pick 3 ticket and cap the sequence with a solo play on RILEY G in the fifth race. RILEY G has been a money burner, but he blew a clear lead two starts back at this distance on a day when four deep closers won on the card. Then he lost all chance at the start in a 6F sprint at Penn National, rallying too late for third.

1/ST Bets on Race 3
$15 win and place #5 DAVYJONZ
$2 Pick 3 on numbers 2, 5 with ALL with 2
$2 Pick 3 on numbers 5-5-2

LRL Race 6 (2:52 p.m. EST) -- BUMP N RUN raced 4-wide most of the way from the outside post at Parx, but he still managed to surge past the 3-to-5 favorite on a muddy track. His repeat victory came at the expense of a next-out winner and two next-out runners-up who posted an average 87 Beyer. He is a must play at 12-1 on the morning line after posting a :47 bullet workout Sunday.  Going to use him in an exacta box with: speedball ROMINSKI (5-1), a wire-to-wire winner in three consecutive starts; OURNATIONONPARADE (8-1), an upset winner against several of these on the cutback to 6F; and NO CENTS (8-1), a consistent $219,000 earner at 6F.

1/ST Bets on Race 6
$10 win and place on #10 BUMP N RUN
$2 exacta box on numbers 1-2-9-10
$2 daily double on numbers 1, 2, 10 with 3, 5
