Saturday's Best Bet: Win Win Win poised to win Pasco Stakes
Saturday’s seventh race from Tampa Bay Downs is the $125,000 Pasco Stakes for 3-year-olds dashing seven furlongs on the main track (Post Time - 3:10 p.m. ET).
#4 WIN WIN WIN (5-2) lost for the first time after a bad start from the rail in the Heft Stakes at Laurel Park Dec. 29. He was clearly second best that day and talented winner Alwaysmining has now won three straight (two stakes wins). The Maryland based three-year-old males are pretty good (Maryland Juvenile runner-up Our Braintrust was second in Aqueduct's Jerome on Jan. 1). Michael Trombetta’s improving colt looks like a big threat in this spot.
#7 Cave Run (7-2) looked great romping in the slop versus suspect company in his local debut Dec. 15. He should sit a nice outside stalking trip but must prove that he can run the same race on a fast track against tougher foes. The promising Godolphin runner owns a strong pedigree.
The Plays:
#4 to win
