Bank Of America California Regional Challenge

Los Alamitos Race Course

Tonight's feature race is the running of the Bank of America California Regional Challenge where a solid field of older runners will go the classic Quarter Horse distance of 440 yards.

The 8-year-old pro Rylees Boy is back from a deserved break and if he runs to how he has been working out in the mornings, he will be the one to beat. My top selection is Deniro who did not get away to a great start in his last race after an impressive trial win two starts ago. Let's hope he runs back to that trial effort. The other top contender is Jess Featureme Quick who ran a big effort when second in the Vessels Maturity. Jockey Saul Ramirez has ridden before and you can expect him to make a big run late.

Selections:

Race 1:  3-5-7

Race 2:  7-1-2

Race 3:  5-7-4

Race 4:  2-3-5

Race 5:  4-5-7

Race 6:  5-4-1

Race 7:  5-3-2

Race 8:  4-6-2

Race 9:  5-2-6

Plays:

Race 1 - $1 Pick Four:  3 / 1,2,4,7 / 5 / 1,2,3,5,6 = $20

Race 6 - $1 Pick Four:  5 / 3,5 / 1,2,4,6 / 2,5,6  = $24

Let's get some winners!

A Day The Races

As many of you know, I work for America's Best Racing and we are trying to expand the sport of horse racing to a new, younger, audience. Horse racing offers many things that can appeal to a number of different people. Whether it's the fashion, the gambling, dinning and drinks, a day outdoors, the horses, the social atmosphere or a number of other things, horse racing is definitely an
affordable entertainment option when                

compared to other sporting events.

Our second season of the America's Best Racing (Followhorseracing.com) tour kicked a few weeks ago in New Jersey with the Haskell at Monmouth Park and we are currently in Saratoga Springs celebrating the 150th anniversary of Saratoga Race Course.

I wanted to share some of the blogs that some of our guests have written about their experience when spending a day at the races, for almost all of them, this was their first time attending a race track. These are just some from these past few weeks, follow our twitter @ABRVTour to read more of them!
