Jim's Picks

Hawthorne Race 1

Post Time 2:53 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
5 Samarita - 9/5 2 Field Daisey - 3/1 1 Ghaaleb's Domain - 7/2

Basically the same field gets back together after facing off a couple of weeks ago. No reason to think anything aside from that outcome won't happen once again.

Hawthorne Race 2

2 Kathaan - 9/5 7 Tango City - 7/2 6 Prada's Miracle - 8/1

Finally back on the turf course! Kathaan rallied late for a near miss last out. She's right back in the same spot and at the same distance.  Looks to be a good amount of pace to chase in here as well.

Hawthorne Race 3

Post Time 3:43 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
3 Jets a Ginnin - 7/5 2 Stopshoppingamy - 5/2 7 Lily's Woofy - 9/2

Another race much like the opener where numerous horses return out of the same race and are all the top contenders.  Jets A Ginnin will be the one to beat off a solid effort last out. There looks to be a good amount of pace to stalk but she won't provide a ton of value.

Hawthorne Race 5

Post Time 4:32 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
8 Kennesaw - 3/1 10 Tape to Tape - 9/5 3 Lake Mills - 5/1

This is a turf sprint where there is a good amount of early speed. With that, Kennesaw looks to be the one to roll on late. He's 8/10 in the money at 5 furlongs and is likely to improve in his second start back off the rest.

Hawthorne Race 6

Post Time 5:01 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
2 Coco Bravado - 7/2 4 Sonnyisnotsofunny - 8/5 6 Mon Ami Fuzzie - 8/1

Curious to see what happens to Coco Bravado with the barn change today.  He ran on well in his last and should be closing some ground late once again. Like the move of Esquivel in the saddle as well.

Hawthorne Race 7

Post Time 5:28 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
7 Rap Star - 5/1 11 Runaway A. Train - 2/1 3 Irish Halo - 8/1

Worry that the outside post will be a lot to overcome for Runaway A. Train today. That's why I gave the nod to Rap Star.  She's won two of her last three with both at 5 1/2 furlongs. The move back to three quarters is the one concerning move today.

Hawthorne Race 8

Post Time 5:58 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
7 New Dice - 6/1 11 Irish Tuff - 3/1 5 Westa Waverly - 6/1

Searching for a little bit of a price in here as Irish Tuff gets stuck outside. New Dice has raced well throughout the summer and had a tough start last out which resulting in a closing move that came too late. Clear sailing here puts him in the mix.

Hawthorne Race 9

Post Time 6:28 PM CST
Analysis by Jim Miller
12 Outrun the Posse - 12/1 8 Little Mighty Man - 2/1 7 Bam Bam Cam - 6/1

Hoping there is a bit of a pace battle upfront as I'm looking for a closing move of Outrun the Posse at a good price. He ran well two races back and just moved too late in his last. In with an upset threat today!
