Cumberland Pick 3: Saturday, April 19 (Meet Day No. 4)

  

 

(Below are three selections for First Tracks Cumberland selected by Isaac Salisbury, Steve Morgan, and John Morgan. Each handicapper will start with a mythical $408 bankroll, and each selection will be bet with mythical $2 Win and $2 Place bets.)

Isaac Salisbury

$383.40 (- 6.0%)

Isaac is a Skowhegan native who became a passionate fan of horse racing when he discovered a knack for handicapping races when he was a senior in college during the pandemic in 2020.

Race No. 1 

#4: Axion Hanover (9-2 ML)

Watched this pacer a couple times at Cumberland. If he has the right trip, he has a significant chance for a place.

Race No. 4

#3: Little Guy (4-1 ML)

Going for value here. Drew Campbell will likely will get bet down a little, but Little Guy has some zip to get it done.

Race No. 10

#3: Call Out My Name (2-1 ML)

Will get the right trip with the right post.

#1: Aintnobettor A (5-2 ML)

Improved post position, good TrackMaster Rating, and solid time in the mud last week. Has been racing all year, slight drop in class.

Solid TrackMaster Rating and time in the mud last week.

Race No. 9

#4: Big Plan Stan (5-1 ML)

Decent post, relatively good speed figure last week, and an inconsistent favorite in the field.
