Play of the Day

There's such a standout in today's ninth race, the $15,000 Pepsi Stakes, that we're ready to break out the immortal lock label. That means bet all you want and don't even worry about not cashing.

Preciousville is such a standout, we think she simply can't get beat. The Louisiana shipper enters off two consecutive wins, including a 2 1/2-length victory in a $12,500 claiming race in her previous start.

To borrow the words of a fellow turf writer, go ahead and toss $10 at the mutuel window on Preciousville. And don't be afraid to twirl a $20. Or have enough courage to bet $100 to win on Preciousville.

You won't lose.

Give us $50 to win.

As a bonus pick, we'll also give you an easy exacta in today's $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park. To cash in on this race, bet No. 1 Ginger Punch on top of No. 6 Zenyatta in a straight exacta. No need to even turn this one around.

Post time is 4:55 p.m. Nebraska time.

Starting balance: $1,500

Friday's result: We scored on a $40 win ticket on Noble Reward who paid $4.20, we lost $10 on our daily double bets.

Current balance: $1,645.90
