Horse Racing Betting – To Be or Not to Be

In taking an early look at the potential fall stars, Lady Shakespeare will try to make amends for her flop in the Natalma when she squares off against a wide-open field in the inaugural Juvenile Fillies Turf. This is a race that horse bettors should spread and spread big time if they are playing a horizontal gimmick.

Just by the nature of this race, something new, something young, something untested and somewhat of a question at a mile on the greenery, this event will be a test of who handles the course and who is peaking at the right time.

Those horse bettors that believe in blood and pedigree will like Lady Shakespeare. She’s a full sister to Grade 1 winning Shakespeare, who banked over $1.2 million in his career. And he also beat BC Mile hero Kip Deville in the process.

As far as the baby, Lady Shakespeare rallied from last to win her career debut at Woodbine. The daughter of Theatrical, the winner of the 1987 Breeders’ Cup Turf, out of Lady Shirl, won the six-furlong maiden turf race by three-quarters of a length. Lady Shakespeare rallied six-wide to get the job done for jockey Emma-Jayne Wilson, but she didn’t get the greatest of trips in the Natalma and will have revenge as a motive.

Instant Karma is gonna get you and the filly C Karma has her sights set on good things in California. She is the miss that put the kibosh on Lady Shakespeare and it was no fluke.

As you would expect C Karma has done nothing bad in her career. She has fired every single time, has never been worse than third, brings speed to the table but doesn’t need the lead to win and she has a nose for the wire to boot.

Despite being 5 wide in the Natalma, she fought her way to the top even though she may not have cared for the soft turf course.

Her background is more beer drinker than champagne lover but that just may prove to be a good thing at the windows as surely some bluebloods will be bet off the board in this race.

C Karma’s dam didn’t fool around, she won 10 of 50 starts and was in the money 18 other times and she has dropped nothing but winners including near $150,000 earner Fifty Frame.

Style will be everything on the big day and C Karma fits.

Over the years on this turf course at Santa Anita, it is preferred to be close rather than way off the pace and C Karma has enough speed to maintain contact from the get go.

We won’t know how the race will shake out until they draw the field but the best early guess for horse players has to be to stay away from runners that draw outside slots.

Even if those runners have speed and have the ability to gain position early, it what should be a huge field, that kind of velocity early could spell disaster.

Post position will be very important in this race.
