Monday’s American Horse Racing Tips
Sky Sports Racing have live coverage of US Racing tonight and I’ve covered all EIGHT meetings and picked out my best bets.
THE US NAP WAS UNLUCKY LAST NIGHT! Let’s get back on track as we start a new week. Off to Colonial Downs for my best bet tonight. My Daily Double pays 4/1!
NAP – Best selection of the evening
MY US NAP RUNS IN RACE 4 AT COLONIAL DOWNS ON MONDAY NIGHT!
Race 4 Colonial Downs 8.09 Fit To Fly (11/10)
Promising colt who made the perfect start winning head in chest on debut last month; up a furlong in trip here but sure to improve and looks to have found a good opportunity to make it 2-2 here; one to keep on side.
It was hard not to be impressed by the way FIT TO FLY won on debut. He was quickly into stride and made all the running impressively. He looked to have plenty of gears and comfortably burned them all off on the swing for home. He goes up a furlong in trip and in tougher company but that was quite an exciting performance and if he improves again he should be capable of remaining unbeaten. The danger is likely Prove Right who impressed on penultimate start before being pitched into a Grade 3 at Saratoga at the weekend. He is turned out quickly so as long as this doesn’t come too soon he should chase the favourite home. Pompous Prince possibly best of the rest.
NB – Second best selection of the day
MY US NEXT BEST RUNS IN RACE 6 AT LOUISIANA DOWNS ON MONDAY NIGHT!
Race 6 Louisiana Downs 11.22 Sir Smack (11/8)
Progressive form before a no show last time; needs to bounce back but this definitely winnable if you can forgive him that last run where he never went a yard; likely hard to beat if breaking alertly and pushing on.
I’m confident SIR SMACK can bounce back here. That wasn’t his true running last time and he looked laboured from the off. Given 5 weeks to get over that if he is back to his best here he should have too much for these. His win 3 starts back was convincing and he only missed half a length on penultimate start in much better company than this. D Two needs to reverse recent form with Creative Letters but if he does he will be the main danger to the selection. Invincibility is quite a big price if showing his best form back on dirt. Could well be worth a small saver to hit the frame. Lovethatcause was in good form when last on dirt but has failed to shine on turf recently so has enough to prove on the balance.
