Friday’s American Horse Racing Tips

Progressive mare who has won 5 of her last 6 and looked better than ever kicking clear to win on reappearance over 7f here back in February; freshened up since and will keep improving so leading claims.

Hard to look past TEDDY'S BARINO at Santa Anita on Friday night. She is a talented mare who came up a little short when pitched into graded company but at this level she has a potent turn of foot and she should have too much for rivals once more. She really kicked clear last time and can only improve on that first run back. Eda was going the right way when last seen but she hasn't been seen for well over a year now and she might need her first run back. Unless the market speaks hugely for her I think the selection will have her covered.

Promising colt who showed a really good attitude to dig deep and make a winning start over this trip at Gulfstream on debut back in February; sure to improve from that initial effort and worth keeping on side.

With the promise of more to come TURF KING can remain unbeaten at Keeneland on Friday night. He looked to be learning on the job on debut and for him to still win that tells you he could be a nice colt in the making. He switches to turf now which should suit and he is very much the one to beat in this field. Wico took a step forward to make the breakthrough last time and could be the danger if improving again. He was held by Dunedin as a 2yo though so might need more to reverse that form let alone win. The latter will be fitter for his return run and is also feared.
