RACE 9 — Trot, 1 Mile, N/W $5,000 Last 3, Purse $10,400

Value Pick: #2 Global News (6-1) — Won at London on February 27 in this exact class. Garrett Rooney drives and Angela Carroll trains at 22.6% wins. Form has been inconsistent but this mare has the ability to win here on her best day and 6-1 makes her worth using in your exotics.
RACE 10 — Pace, 1 Mile, H&G Claiming $8,000 N/W $2,000 Last 5, Purse $5,000
Top Pick: #5 Mickeymaksomespeed (5-2) — One win and one second in thirteen starts at London in 2026. Nicholas Steward drives and trainer Cameron McQueen posts an 18.2% win rate. Active and fit with back class to handle this field comfortably.
Second Pick: #1 Docs Rock (3-1) — The rail post is a significant advantage in this short field. Brady Galliers drives at 19.7% wins and trainer Schneider has been placing horses effectively. Multiple third-place finishes in 2026 suggest a win is overdue.
Third Pick: #6 Bet On Brett (4-1) — A significant class drop today for a horse who has earned over $323,000 lifetime. Samuel Fillion drives and the horse finished third on April 2 at Flamboro. When a horse of this calibre drops hard in class there is usually a reason to take notice.
Value Pick: #7 Sports Section (10-1) — Won eleven of thirty-eight starts in 2025 and earned over $158,000 lifetime, making him by far the most accomplished horse in this field on paper. Returning from back-to-back vet scratches but trainer Keith Cullen is placing him in a very soft spot. If he shows up ready, this could be a big-priced upset.
