Play of the Day

We'll hang today's hex on trainer Michael Bolinger, who saddled Tampa Bay Downs shipper Sheza Match in the fifth race.

In her previous five starts, Sheza Match has shown plenty of early speed while drawing plenty of attention at the mutuel window. Fleet feet from the start will make the Matchlite mare too tough top in her first and only start for the Bolinger barn.

Expect the claim slips to fall here.

Give us $50 to win.

* Starting balance: $1,500

* Last Sunday: A second-place finish by Toby Tickelbritches wiped out a pair of $24 exotic wagers, giving us a loss of $48 for the day.

* Balance: $1,546.90

* Last Sunday: Our $20 wager was foiled.
