Mike Dempsey's Live Longshots:

These are price plays for exotic players looking to find a couple of extra contenders to use in their trifecta and superfecta wagers. Or for those with smaller bankrolls, you might want to get in a small win-place wager.


AQU 8th #1 Stormy's Smile (10-1) popped a bullet work out of the gate on Jan. 7 for her first start off a 7 1/2 month layoff. The filly won a stake in her third career start going a mile and then misfired badly in her two following starts, then went to the sidelines. She broke her maiden in that stakes win which makes her still eligible for this Alw-1 level and it is not a real tough spot. The barn is 3 for 7 (with a +ROI) with horses coming back off a +180 day layoff.

#5 Muhaawara- went to the post as the favorite to win both of her career starts. She ran well in her debut but came up short. She finished 4th in her second start but the three that beat her that day came right back to win their next out and two of them won again in stakes company. She shows good works and she will be ready to get all the money today.
