Play of the Day

As if Ittakestwobaby and Tellin On You don't see enough of each other around the David C. Anderson bar, the two stablemates also faced off on the racetrack in their first three career starts.

Ittakestwobaby took advantage of Tellin On You's absence and destroyed a field of three-year-olds in a 5 1/2-length win in four-furlong Bachman on March 15. The Dazzling Falls gelding's speed figures were impressive in that race, so much so that skeptics may tab him a logical candidate for a big bounce.

We're not among them.

Except Ittakestwobaby to dominate short Baxter field today much like he crushed the opposition in his previous start. The biggest threat to our top pick is Tellin On You, who settles for second.

Give us $50 to win on Ittakestwo.

Starting balance: $1,500

Friday's result: We cashed on our $40 to win on Sandy's K.O, getting a payoff of $3.80, our $10 exacta play ran first and third.

Current balance: $1,509.70
