Online Racing Pick of the Day - Mountaineer Race 9

[Shame About Ray]

My pick of the day runs in race 9 at Mountaineer, but if you take a closer look you will notice that she comes from some place else in the country- - the Fairgrounds in Louisiana.

Horses shipping to Mountaineer for their excellent purses should not be taken lightly by BetUS online betting racebook fans. Shippers to Mountaineer tend to do very well and at nice prices to boot.

Mountaineer Race 9

$75,000 Hancock County Handicap

Fillies and Mares 3 years old and up

5 furlongs on dirt

Sunshine State - - 10/1 morning line

What’s not to like about Sunshine State in this race? Yes, her speed ratings are decidedly lower than some others in here, but she comes out of the Merrill Sherer barn. Sherer is getting 29% of his horses into the money at Mountaineer. Not only that, but Sunshine State is the only closer in a race loaded with serious speed. By serious I mean that a 44 and change half is not out of the question in this race. That would spell doom for the three or four horses on the lead, right? Sunshine State won her last race at Keeneland. Before that she ran at the Fairgrounds. Her class should prevail in this one.
