Check out my Sunday (6-23-24) Hawthorne Race 5 analysis below.
HAW 5 (Buck’s Boy Handicap, Illinois-bred 3&up, 8T) – Post Time 5:02pm EDT
Primary – #3 RICHIESGOTGAME, #2 Another Mystery
Secondary – #4 Silver Quarters
Horse Comments:
#3 Richiesgotgame (5-2) needed his optional-claiming return at Horseshoe Indy on June 4. He is 2-for-3 with a show finish at Hawthorne, and his new rider Julio Felix is a profile 27% on turf recently. He will probably stalk slow fractions.
#2 Another Mystery (9-5) rallied for the place in a local optional-claiming turf route in his May 19 return, and that was his third exacta finish from as many local turf attempts. The late running 8-year-old gelding might not get the right setup in a race with a murky pace scenario.
#4 Silver Quarters (3-1) came running for the place as a 22-1 longshot in the same Horseshoe Indy turf route my top choice exits. He can come running for a share.
