Colonial Downs 7-3-2013 Selections - Races 1,4,5,7

Pre Scratches.  I'm not sure if I will be able to update for scratches.
 
Card Notes-

IMPORTANT:  I handicapped these races assuming they stay on the turf.  If these races come "off the turf" do not use these selections.

My Race Rating System-
I always give you 5 picks in each race to help you fill out your exotic bets.  In some races I may not use all 5 in my bets.  The A horse is ALWAYS my selected winner.  If no suggested plays are listed then I would not consider betting the race.  See the key below for how I label the races.

Weak - Poor races to invest in.  Usually too wide open.  Winner possible outside of my top 5.
Action - Some clarity in the race.  Possible use in Multirace or small Exacta bet.  Winner likely in top 4 or 5.
Play - Lots of clarity in the race.  Good Exacta or Trifecta play.  Can usually get by with A or B horse in the Multi Race bets.
Prime - Excellent betting race or multirace single.  Single in Exacta, Trifecta or Multi Race bets

Multirace Bets-
None.


Race 1 - 5-1/2F TURF Clm - Play
A - #6 Harbor Fox (6-1) - class drops from open 10k, hoping Karamanos carry nurse a lead all the way
B - #9 Magical Merry (9/5) - takes a pretty big class drop with good beyers, logical choice
C - #11 Wild Heir Cat (4-1) - has never run on turf, but pedigree suggest he'll like it, strong jockey/trainer combo
