Cumberland Pick 3: Friday, May 23 (Meet Day No. 13)

        

 








(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

$373.00 (- 8.6%)

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. 4

#4: Matt So Sure (5-2 ML)

This is a form play. Andrew Harrington is on the sulky with a gelding with good recent starts. 

Race No. 7

#3: Mulligan Philly (4-1 ML)

A value play. Good driver in Heath Campbell, and he paced decently at Cumberland last time at the track.

Race No. 9

#2: Mister Muscle (5-1 ML)

Personal favorite. Watched the trotter live, and liked his tempo. Let's get a winner here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve Morgan

$416.00 (+ 2.0%)

A partner in the Ivory Pine Syndicate, Steve has been attending and betting on races in Maine since the grandstands were full and Leigh Fitch was the leading driver.

Race No. 6

#2: Sixftfornfulofmuscl (5-2 ML)

New to Cumberland, this gelding has the fastest recent times in the group and a solid driver in Aaron Hall.

Race No. 7

#1: Twin B High Tech (6-5 ML)

On a 3-race winning streak, so looking to continue that streak even though four consecutive wins is rare in these parts.

Race No. 8

#3: Moonlightandroses (2-1 ML)

Winner last time out, this pacer owns the fastest speed figure and time last race.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

John Morgan

$371.80 (- 8.9%)

John is the founder and managing partner of the Ivory Pine Syndicate.

Race No. 1

#2: Rambling Ruby (9-2 ML)

Good post, slight class drop, and a tough post for race favorite.

Race No. 6

#6: Skyway Ballet (9-1 ML)

Tough post, but a meaningful class drop and a good price.

Race No. 9

#3: Northern Skyway (5-2 ML)

Good post and a helpful class drop.
