Play of the Day

With Fonner Park ready to run its one and only Thursday card of the meet, we thought we'd do something a little different.

Rather than single in on one pick, we'll split our $50 wager on five horses we expect Yuri Yaranga will win with. Those horses are Shesa Shark in the first race, Resonate in the fourth, Dancin Brat in the fifth, Noble Reward in the sixth and Dazzling Spender in the 10th.

We'll put $10 to win on all five.

David C. Anderson trains Shesa Shark, Dancin Brat, Noble Reward and Dazzling Spender. We knew it was only a matter of time before Anderson started dominating the training standings again. Today is the day.

Starting balance: $1,500

Last Sunday's result: Derivative Trader won and paid $3.20. We had $50 to win.

Current balance: $1,536.70

Monk's Exotic Wager

We'll ride along with the hot Gaede/Butler combination in the seventh race, and tap Anticipatedarrival as our key horse.

Play a $1 trifecta Anticipatedarrival on top of Steelofthecentury, HankyPankyFrankie, Cop Got Even, and Jacques Time, then play $2 exactas with Aniticpatedarrival on top of the four horses for a $20 bill.

We hit our $5 daily double of Tradewater Pirate and Autiesfinalaffair, for a nice return of $91.20 putting us in the black for the first time this year.

Starting balance: $700

Current balance: $738.60
