LAUREL PARK PICKS AND PONDERINGS: july 14, 2024
Late Pick 5 —$0 other handicapping here!. RACE 1: MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT, 2-YEAR-OLDS, 5 FURLONGS. Guadalupe Preciado thought enough of #5 Fire Pit (8-5) to try and get him in at Saratoga on opening weekend, but he landed on the also-eligible list and was scratched. He now ships down here off a series of increasingly impressive workouts at his Parx base, including a July 6 drill in 46 2/5 seconds where he outworked a slew of older horses, among them a pair of Butch Reid-trained stakes winners. #6 Tojo’s Mojo (2-1) looks like the best of the ones with experience. He went off at 23-1 on debut – a high price for a John Salzman Jr-trained runner- and rallied well to grab second after falling far behind early. #4 Sinetic (5-1) turned in back-to-back bullet workouts at Pimlico in late July for Antonio Machado, and gets Jaime Rodriguez aboard for his career bow.
