Another great weekend of racing is ahead of us here at the Orange Park Kennel Club and this time around the best two greyhounds at the racetrack over 550 are in different races.
No matter what you like, we have got you covered. Do you like the early speeders? Check. Do you like the late speeders? Check. Do you like the chalk? Check. Or do you like a longshot? Check.
Just tune in to each and every card this weekend and you will find just what you are looking for here at the Orange Park Kennel Club.
The first race that we will look at is the 10th on the card for Friday evening.
1. Mr Barret (Fuzzys Cannon - Miss Kissable) might just be back up in grade A, but loves the rail and couldn't be happier with this post position in this race. Watch out if he is close early on.
2. Black Licorice (Heart Rumble* - Spicy Candy) is from a good litter that can run a ton, well that is when he wants to go. The post should help out, but we'll still need to see if he wants to run in this effort.
3. Kiowa Voneisha (Flying Hydrogen - Greg Kiowa Girl) is a great closer that can come on home with the best of them. She just needs room to do it. She would rather be wide and must do her best from this post.
4. Uss West Coast (Lonesome Cry - Uss Mysterious) is a monster on the front end, but the problem is that he only gets there every once in awhile. His key to success is his break, let's see if he is up to the task.
5. Irish Memory (Maryville Rumble* - Wheelie Cool) might be a bit over her head in this effort. Moving up from C to take on a talented field, one word, TOUGH! Especially from the 5 box. She needs help.
6. Kiowa Mon Dream (Kiowa Mon Manny - Kiowa Kay Dream) has some good early speed and should be able to be around early, but up in grade lasting might be the problem at the finish line.
7. Rs Libby Lu (Lonesome Cry - Sweet Sandra Sue) might have had her win streak stopped in her last effort, but a new one starts out tonight. All she has to do is break and the race will be over.
8. Kiowa Sol Site (Deerfield Site* - Sol Skelly) a solid even runner that needs to come out close in order to be effective. Working for her is the post. The has time in this box, she won the race.
Time to be realistic. This is not a stakes caliber field of greyhounds and we have the greyhound in here that has won back to back stakes finals. Rs Libby Lu is the only one to beat. She might have lost to the puppy stakes winner in her last race, but she really sat in the box and never got to the lead in that effort. Here she finds her break again and once on top, FORGETABOUTIT! Next best how about Mr Barret. He loves the rail and gets the reddest of posts in this effort. He has won 2 of 3 races and has been in the money in 5 of 6 starts. He has enough early to get close and enough staying power to keep pace. Runner up at best. Kiowa Voneisha is a steady closer that should be making up ground throughout in this effort. Her only drawback in this effort is the post position. She likes it wide and will have to work hard to get there in this effort. She can overcome things with her late speed and should be able to find her way into the money once again tonight. Uss West Coast is the just in case big of this field. He has tremendous raw speed, you just don't know when he is going to use it. If he does break with the leaders tonight, he is going to be tough to keep out of the top spots at the finish line. (7-1-3-4)

The second feature race on the weekend comes our way in the 11th on the card for Saturday Matinee.
1. Gs Craig (Lonesome Cry - Tv Candycane Gal) is all rail all the time and gets a great post here in the 1 box. An early speed greyhound that needs to come out close to be effective. He must break today.
2. Howdoyoulikethat (Lonesome Cry - Here's The Thing) has been a force since arriving from Southland. He has not been breaking as sharply as of late, but still can factor on or off the pace. Solid threat here.
3. Kiowa Gooddesign (Dodgem By Design - Flying Acme) is an early speed machine that can beat everyone to the turn for fun in any race. He pays for it late though and has not held on in his last 6. Leading, factors, short late, but in the money at the wire.
4. Dirty Picture (Coldwater Konow - Chance With Me) is a solid grade A competitor that can close with the best of them. He never gives up and will be making up ground throughout once again today. If he breaks, he could steal it.
5. Tmc's Bestofshow (Dodgem By Design - Tmc's Pardon Me) has really started to come into her own as of late. With 3 wins in 6 starts, including one in grade A in her last effort, she is a force. The 5 box could be her biggest hurdle in this race.
6. Passing Gear (Flying Missle - Nikki Di) has been running his heart out in grade B and now gets a chance back in grade A in this effort. He has some early speed and is short at the end of the race. He is hot, but will the translate against the best at the racetrack?
7. Awesomeofcourse (Trent Lee - Ctw Miss Kelly) has really taken to the racetrack since coming here from Tri-State. He has showed great early speed and enough staying power to win. If he is on his game, he will be hard to beat.
8. Daycare Ron (Lonesome Cry - Ml Teardrops) is a strong closer that has just started to show really what he can do on the racetrack. He loves this post and if he breaks like he did 2 races back, it could be another grade A victory.
I know he is not going to be in front at the start of this race, but at the end I think it is going to be hard to keep Daycare Ron out of the winner's circle. He has everything going for him and even though he won't sniff the front end early on, he will be close enough to take down everyone in front of him before the finish line. The post is the key ingredient in this victory. Just look 2 races back and you will see just what I mean. Dueling throughout on the front end should be the best 2 early speed greyhounds in this field. Kiowa Gooddesign and Awesomeofcourse. Gooddesign has the slight edge early on and should lead for the majority of this effort, but in the stretch he is way short and that will prove to be his demise. Awesomeofcourse has a bit more staying power as they approach the wire and that could be the formula to another big time effort. If the planets align either of these greyhounds could make the lead, steal enough early on, and survive at the wire for the victory. Howdoyoulikethat has some things going for him as well in this effort. He loves the rail, and gets it again in this race. He is running well, hot off a win in grade A, and has enough early to get close and enough late to steal away the win at the finish line. If he wants to run, he will make the leader, and possible winner, work for the victory. (8-7-3-2)

Race 3 on the weekend comes our way on Saturday Evening in the 11th race on the card.
1. Ru Tuff Enuf (Let's Winendine - Faith Keeper) has really found that form that almost saw him win a stakes race last year. He has been breaking well and is getting better in every start. From this favorable post, he will be tough tonight.
2. Lady Avery (Trent Lee - Leafs Falling) will not be around early on in this race. She is a big time closer that comes from way off the pace to challenge at the finish line. Posted up well here, look for the blue streak in the stretch.
3. Hs Blazinstanley (Flying Stanley - Flat Out Heidi) loves this racetrack and has really well since arriving. He has shown some great early speed and on occasion he can hold on at the wire and steal away a win. Against this ultra-talented field, it could be an uphill battle.
4. Sweet Babboo (Dodgem By Design - Rooftop Sara) is a bit of a closer that needs to pick up his game early on if he wants to compete in grade A. He gets there alright, but once there he has troubles. Only good news, his last win came from this post.
5. Kiowa New Design (Dodgem By Design - Flying Acme) is a steady runner that can come on a bit at the end of the race. She loves the outside and will have to make due from this middle post. If she breaks at all, she could be tough here.
6. Paddy Whacker (Heart Rumble* - Spicy Candy) is the leader of a talented litter of greyhounds. He just won the puppy stakes and took down Libby Lu in his last race as he won his 4th in a row. From another great post, he is the one to beat.
7. Gs Shabam (Dodgem By Design - Gs Gertie) is a even rail runner that will have some work to do in this effort from the outside post position. Breaking quickly is the only chance he has to factor in this race.
8. Pat C Stylish (Pat C Roadster - Pat C Yosemite) is a nice looking puppy that has just made it recently to grade A. So far when she breaks, she runs pretty tough. Against this field, she is going to have to run a career best in order to compete.
No doubt who is the favorite in this race, Paddy Whacker. This greyhound has just one a stakes race, he has just capped off a 4 race win streak by beating Rs Libby Lu who won the last 2 sprints stakes at the racetrack, and he gets another good outside post position in this effort. Everything is going for him in this effort and if he performs like he has in the recent past, he is going to win this effort. Making him work for it could be Ru Tuff Enuf. Tuff Enuf has really started to get back into the groove as of late with a couple of wins and 4 quiniela efforts in his last 5 starts. He has started to break better and can keep coming on anyone in any race. The post is the best part of the equation for him tonight. No speed next to him with Lady Avery, he could clear close and make it interesting at the finish line. Speaking of Lady Avery, we can't forget about her in this effort. She is a closing machine that can come from last and beat anyone at the racetrack if she wants too. The rail post is just fine for her and if she can break at all, she might be the one that gets home a winner tonight. Hs Blazingstanley need not be overlooked in this effort either. He has the best early speed of the bunch and could easily see the lead from a good inside post position. His problem is that everyone chasing him has much better speed in the stretch than he does. If he could get the lead and get some help behind him, he could steal away this victory tonight. (6-1-2-3)
Sunday - 6/20/2010
Capping off the weekend, we will look at the 11th race on the card for Sunday Matinee.
1. Raiders Bart (Dodgem By Design - Raiders Azeri) is a solid grade A runner that can go to the lead and hang tough throughout for the win, especially from the rail post positions. He has it all going for him in this effort.
2. Skiddy Button (Dodgem By Design - Kansas Factor) has fought her way back up to grade A from grade D. She is back in form now and gets a great post to start this race from. Now the competition heats up, is she ready for the task, or not?
3. Comedrinkwithme (Dauntless - Instant Vintage) is a big time closer that will be come on late once again in this effort. With double distance parents, you would expect it, but the lights must come on to get it done. Let's see who shows up today.
4. Fay's Mcqueen (Maryville Rumble* - Rooftop Kaylee) found it again in his last race. He finally broke again and raced off alone for the easy win. I know it was grade B, but all he needs is the lead, and this race is over.
5. Kiowa Shag Along (Flying Stanley - Kiowa Shag Sue) has been running as well as anyone in this race over his last 6 efforts. He has been breaking close and hanging tough late for some wins, and some in the money finishes. If he comes out running, he will be a major factor today.
6. Big Drama (Get Over - Rooftop Flojo) is still learning how to run, but has turned into a solid grade A greyhound with some good closing speed. She just wishes she was on the rail today. She will have to work hard, but should have enough late to get into contention.
7. Teeshawn (Fuzzys Cannon - Well Chosen) seemed to have found his form again in the stakes rounds and it has continued on since. He might have won a bunch, just once, but he has been competitive. He can come late, but runs best close to the lead. A good break is needed if he wants to upset.
8. Designer Series (Dodgem By Design - Break Comet) is an all out front runner that needs to break in order to be effective in any race. He has been pretty good as of late with 3 wins in his last 6 races, all of which came from the front end. If he can steal enough early, he might just surprise here.
The quickest of the quick is in his race is Fay's Mcqueen and after his last effort, he looks to get back on the right track for winning. He really found his break in that effort and left the field behind. I know it was grade B, but he has won in A so many times before. With extra room early on, I expect a big break and for him to control this race throughout. Raiders Bart must also be considered in this effort. He too has been running at the top of his game and from another great rail post position you should expect another big effort. Kiowa Shag Along might just have the best early speed of the bunch and if he decides to hit the lid, then this field might have a hard time getting to him before the finish line. I know he would rather be on the rail, but breaking is really the key to his success. If he makes the most of the extra room, he could take home the win today. Big Drama is the best closer in this race and as long as she can get to the rail, she will be effective in this effort. She might just be a puppy but she is running far beyond her years recently. She even has a shot of the upset if she gets loose early on, so let's see just what the puppy can do in this effort. (4-1-5-6)
