Enough appetizer. Let’s get to the main course—read on for my Tuesday picks and predictions for Thistledown Racino.

This is a claiming race for Ohio foals three-years-old and upward running a distance of 5-1/2 furlongs for a purse of $14,600.

Since all the horses in this race have won two, I’m going with the entry that has moneyed the highest percentage of starts. Which means I’m backing the 6/1 underdog Truest of Them All, with Erik Barbaran in the irons. This four-year-old gelding finished in the money ten of his 17 career starts.

Sorry, but none of the longer-odds entries show any promise in this race, so let’s save it for later.

This is an allowance race for Ohio foals three years old and upward running a distance of one mile and 40 yards for a purse of $29,300.

I’m backing the first half of the first coupled entry, the 5/2 favorite Tapaway, with Christian Pilares aboard. This three-year-old gelding moneyed seven of his 13 career starts. Please note that if Tapaway is scratched, his coupled entry—Estrella de Dane—is not in the same league and shouldn’t be considered a win bet under any circumstances.

But if a Tapaway scratch happens, then my win bet goes to the 7/2 underdog, Fu Roo, ridden by Ricardo Feliciano. This four-year-old gelding finished in the money three of his seven starts.

There are no long odds in this race. Still, you might want to buy a show ticket on the 9/2 Tancahua, with Luis A. Gonzalez aboard. this five-year-old gelding moneyed 18 of his 28 starts.

This is a maiden special weight race for fillies and mares three years old and upward running a distance of one mile and 40 yards for a purse of $20,000.

I like the morning line’s second choice here—the 7/2 underdog Kendalin, with Luan Machado aboard. This three-year-old filly moneyed two of her three career starts and also performed better than the favorite in recent workouts.

Sorry, no odds longer than 10/1 in this maiden race, so no longshots to tout.

There are plenty more wagering opportunities at the two other tacks I feature today
