Throughout August, Tuesdays and Thursdays stay hot at 1/ST BET and Xpressbet with our Midsummer Money promotion. Bet $100, Get $10 on select tracks this month. Next up Tuesday will be Thistledown. Here’s how I’ll approach the card in Ohio with an assist from the Betmix Angler database.
Thistledown Race 2 | 1:20 pm ET
#1 Vodkatini (8-1 morning line odds) makes what might look like a lateral trainer change from equal 21% winning barns, but note the new James Jackson stable has hit 13: 5-2-0 since August 4, posting 39% wins, and has produced a $1.29 ROI for every $1 bet since the beginning of July. Distance will be a challenge to get in gear early enough, but should be heard from late. Win-place bet #1. Exacta key-box 1 with 4,5,8. Picks: 1-5-4-8
Thistledown Race 7 | 3:50 pm ET
With high-percentage trainer Kim Pool’s barn going through a slump in recent weeks, this might be a good chance to catch an overlay elsewhere as she has 9-5 and 3-1 morning line choices in the lineup. #6 Onore (6-1 morning line odds) rallied from deep to be a solid third over this track and trip last out in allowance company. Trainer Richard Estvanko doesn’t bring many here from his Belterra base, but is 6: 3-1-1 this season in focused spots. Win-place bet #6. Picks: 6-1-2.
