Johnny Love's Canterbury line for Labor Day

Post time: 12:45 pm. Best bet: One Fine Dream (8th race). Best play: 50 cent Pick 4— Race 5, (2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12/4,5,7,9/3,8/2), $36

1 1 mile. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden claiming: $10,000. Purse: $11,500

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Regal Rival (Jimenez, Anderson)123/15-1

2: Direct Impact (Clark, Diodoro)118/15-1

3: Taz Warrior (Ramgeet, Danger)118/12-1

4: Smokin' Mo (Delorme, Pfeifer)118/20-1

6: Dark Captain (Butler, Diodoro)118/9-5

7: Tahkodha Royale (Hernandez, Sheehan)123/2-1

TAHKODHA ROYALE has had a million chances facing tougher and now drops in facing softer. Have to use because of favorable speed figures and with the drop in class. DARK CAPTAIN finished runner-up last two out. Has a fighting chance going to the front and lulling the field to sleep. MR SHIVER will come rolling late but needs a better start.

2 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $40,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

2: Hero On Saturday (Velazquez, Berndt)119/8-1

3: Ciaran's Prize (Mojica, Berndt)123/3-1

4: Ball and Chain (A.Canchari, Robertson)119/5-2

5: Manille (Butler, Robertson)123/9-5

6: Tiz Lately (Hernandez, Berndt)119/8-1

3 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance optional claiming: $25,000. Purse: $32,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Hold for More (Butler, Bravo)123/4-1

2: Six Ninety One (Goodwin, Berndt)121/7-2

3: Smoltz (Delorme, Rhone)119/15-1

5: Smooth Chiraz (Mojica, Bravo)115/9-2

6: John's Luck (Velazquez, Heitzmann)117/5-2

7: Politicallycorrect (A.Canchari, Robertson)119/6-1

Love that gutsy win by HOLD FOR MORE in the Minnesota Sprint Championship. Not sure he will get the quick pace scenario today. JOHN'S LUCK will be involved early. POLITICALLYCORRECT cuts back in distance for first sprint effort in nearly a year for strong connections.

4 5½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

1: Mojave Secret (Butler, Turco)123/8-1

2: Warren's Dr. Boo (Nolan, Rickert)123/20-1

3: Mr. Obeso (Goodwin, Riecken)123/20-1

4: Moon Gun (Mojica, Litfin)123/3-1

5: Magic and More (Stevens, Pearson)123/12-1

7: Red N Black Attack (Ramgeet, Diodoro)123/7-2

8: Redneck Richie (Lopez Jr., Cole)123/4-1

9: Mr. Fuzzybottom (A.Canchari, Tracy Jr.)123/4-1

Anything close to last effort should put MOON GUN back in the winner's circle. Expect jockey Mojica to stalk the pace. RED N BLACK ATTACK has tactical speed to be on or near the pace. Disappointed as the favorite last three out. MR. FUZZYBOTTOM was second best last race while prompting the pace. Consistent runner usually gets a share.

5 About 1 mile, 70 yards. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $7,500. Purse: $14,500

1: Kluszewski (Mojica, Silva)123/4-1

2: Cocico (Velazquez, Bends)123/20-1

3: Shoot the Loop (Goodwin, McFarlane)123/20-1

4: Shipmaker (Nolan, Bends)123/12-1

5: Vanderboom Ridge (Butler, Brinson)123/5-2

7: Mimito Boy (Mojica, Donlin Jr.)123/8-1

8: Affirmed Cure (A.Canchari, Peters)123/20-1

9: Behr Strike (Hernandez, Westermann)123/10-1

10: Megastar (Coddington, Hop)123/20-1

11: Gentle as a Breeze (Ramgeet, Van Winkle)123/9-2

VANDERBOOM RIDGE returns to the sod where he does his best running. Expect jockey Butler to take responsibility on the lead. GENTLE AS A BREEZE will be on the heels of Vanderboom Ridge pushing the pace. Cutback in distance should help. TIGER D has never been in a field this soft.

6 6 furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Maiden special weight. Purse: $32,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Fear Fighter (Ortega, Robertson)119/9-2

2: Clear Shot (P.Canchari, L.Canchari)119/20-1

4: Suddenly Seymour (Hernandez, Oliver)119/8-1

5: Johnny the Jet (Butler, Riecken)119/5-2

6: Xans Storm (Joubert, Hanson)119/15-1

7: Berry Smart (A.Canchari, Kane)119/9-2

8: Mnms Slamin Quien (Velazquez, Tracy Jr.)119/15-1

BERRY SMART ran well enough last out in the slop with early speed to take seriously at a price. Love that Canchari remains aboard. KELAMONSTER is first-time starter with a strong series of works for the Robertson barn. JOHNNY THE JET and SUDDENLY SEYMOUR are must-use coming from off the pace.

7 6½ furlongs. 3-year-olds and up. Claiming: $4,000. Purse: $10,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Poetic Poser (Butler, Bolinger)123/12-1

2: Command the Land (Nolan, Hinojosa)123/20-1

4: Bizet (Delorme, Padilla)123/10-1

5: Setnmupknocknmdown (Hernandez, Donlin)123/12-1

6: Chris Mars (Ramgeet, Rhone)123/15-1

7: Paradise Rock (Stevens, Lund)123/6-1

8: Deja l'Etoile (A. Canchari, Scherer)123/5-2

TRIDENT HERO ran second on a muddy track last out and should enjoy a fast track. DEJA l'ETOILE returns to the one-turn event and should have no problem carrying his speed to the stretch run. KIPPER KEY will cut loose late. Needs snappy fractions to get the job done

8 MTA Stallion Auction Stakes. 6½ furlongs. 3-year-olds. Purse: $55,000

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Pensador (Mojica, Bravo)122/8-1
