2022 Pony a Day Challenge: January 22nd, Fair Grounds Race 12

Record: 2/18, $3.96 ROI

Tough 2nd yesterday behind the odds-on favorite that wore Meteorito late. The train will head to Louisiana today for the first time this year. They have the best card today with full fields and stakes racing. Let’s Ride.

Rae 12: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) 100K Colonel E. R. Bradley Stakes

*#8 Monarchs Glen (8/1) – Almost every other contender in here wants to be on the lead or forwardly placed, which is very unusual for a turf route. This gelding is the best closer of the bunch and looks to get the setup he needs today. The Ductor likes the rider switch to Bravo and sees him working out a perfect trip. He’ll drop to the rail early, save all the ground then tip out to the center and mow them down in the stretch.
