Play of the Day

It's opening day today, and we'll waste no time giving a five-star pick.

In the first race of the meet, Fang Child will welcome jocke Luis "Louie Longshot" Ranilla back to Fonner Park with a solid victory. A runner-up in her two previous starts, Fang Child will relish the cut back to four furlongs and should have little trouble establishing an early lead.

Expect the Blumin Affair filly to show her heels to the rest of the field all the way to the finish.

Give us $50 to win.

Starting balance: $1,500
