US Racing Betting Tips: Our trader previews Will Rogers Downs
Published:
We’re backoff to Oklahoma for this evening’s stateside soiree as Will Rogers Downs stagesthe 18th card of its Spring Meeting from 19:15.
There are ten contests to look forward to in total, and we’ve enlisted the help of trader Ian Rozzier to run through the big race of the night plus the key jockey bookings.
MirandaDiane Stakes
The feature race on the evening is the $55,000 Miranda Diane Stakes (23:15) where Spring Steen is looking to repeat her 2019 success.
However, wehave to question whether she is anything close to the sort of form shedisplayed last year after a disrupted preparation caused by her trainerFrancisco Bravo serving a suspension after one of his horses tested positivefor xylazine.
She saunteredto a 9l victory 12 months ago but comes into tonight’s renewal of the sprintrace for older Oklahoma-bred fillies and mares off a disappointing return inthe Wilma Makiller Stakes at the beginning of the month.
The return to state-bred competition will aid her chances but this looks a deeper race than 2019 and it may be worth siding with Three Chords.
She ishaving her first start at Will Rogers Downs but has won twice in Oklahoma-bredstakes company at Remington including the 2018 Oklahoma Classics DistaffSprint.
Jockeysto note
So far themeeting has been dominated by jockeys Floyd Wethey Jr. and TyKennedy who have ridden 46 winners between them and have both finished inthe money on over half of their mounts.
Wethey Jr’s best chance of a winner is Our Vision in the 20:15, while Kennedy will be disappointed if he doesn’t enter the winner’s enclosure in the 20:45 when he partners Stephen’s Answer for the meet’s leading trainer Robertino Diodoro.
