The feature race is the $1,000,000 Arkansas Derby (Gr. 1) at Oaklawn Park. Note that if you’re looking for Bob Baffert, he is suspended from Churchill Downs and has had four of his horses transferred to different trainers.
We’re at Turf Paradise and Penn National Race Course on Tuesday. Head below for our best Penn National picks on March 29, 2022.
Race 1
Post Time: 6:00 p.m. EST
Distance: 6 Furlongs
Purse:$15,400
Race 1 is a $15,400 race covering 6 furlongs on the dirt. Asgata and Dial Me Maybe should rate as a threat to score a win in this one.
Asgata is 8th, 3rd, 7th, 2nd in her career. She is coming off a solid effort, placing 2nd behind Denali Rae by 3 ¼ lengths for an $11,800 purse on March 16.
That was a decent look for Asgata after finishing 7th on February 1 for an $18,100 purse. Asgata is meeting about half-way for a $15,400 race on Tuesday.
Dial Me Maybe is winless in ten attempts, with some respectable results recently. In her previous two races, the filly showed 3rd on February 6 for a $27,720 assignment on February 6.
The filly came back to show 3rd on March 5 in a $25,641 event. She is well down in class and she should feel more comfortable down in class and distance from a mile to 6 furlongs.
Dial Me Maybe is going to like this race on Tuesday. Expect her to have a nice chance in this field.
Race 5
Post Time: 7:49 p.m. EST
Distance:6 Furlongs
Purse:$13,600
Race 5 is a $13,600 event covering 6 furlongs on the dirt. Expect Bigmancan and Venomous State to be tough in this one.
Venomous State is 16 for 57 and 1st, 8th, 5th in his previous three outings. After a $14,400 win on November 16, the gelding finished 8th in a $19,900 and 5th in a $16,200 race.
This race should be more manageable for Venomous State on a class drop, but Bigmancan will be lingering from the inside.
Bigmancan is 4 for 20 in his career and top-3 in five of his previous six attempts. He has finished 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st, 5th in his previous five races.
Two races back, Bigmancan came through with a 3 ¼ length win in a $16,400 event. Bigmancan didn’t do as well on March 4 in a $19,900 assignment, settling for 5th.
Down to $13,600, there is definite value on Bigmancan to succeed.
Race 6
Post Time: 8:16 p.m. EST
Distance: 6 Furlongs
Purse:$11,800
The sixth race at Penn National looks like an event between Gator Fifty Two and Wonder In. Gator Fifty Two is a three-time winner through 46 assignments and should look good again in this $11,800 event.
The gelding has finished 8th, 3rd, 1st in his previous attempts. Gator Fifty Two is coming off a 5 ¾ length in the same class. That was easy with Gator Fifty Two drawing clear by 2 lengths at the top of the stretch.
It was an improvement for Gator Fifty Two after showing 3rd on February 23 in an $11,800 race. High regards for Gater Fifty Two in this one.
Wonder In is 6 for 23 and 1st, 4th, 1st, 2nd in his previous four outings. He’s coming on and a threat today.
In his most recent attempt, Wonder In placed 2nd behind Neverlookback by 1 ¼ lengths for $13,600. This came after he beat Torazo by 3 lengths in a $10,800 event.
This looks like his race if he’s interested in running how he’s capable of on Tuesday night.
