Mahoning Valley Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
THINK BLUE (6) Was strong late when 3rd last time at this track. First start for a new trainer. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Going well this preparation. Has the ability to take this out. REDWHITEANDTACOS (4) First up after a break. Ran home strongly to win last time here. Deserves consideration. HALF BIRTHDAY (8) Caught the eye when 2nd last start at the track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Valerie K Shanyfelt have a good working relationship. Goes very close. CHESS NOT CHECKERS (2) Finished 4th last start at this venue but has a positive alley. Jockey Jose A Bracho and trainer Jeffrey A Radosevich have a high strike rate together. Right in this.
