A Double Shot of Jusred Tonight

Jusred will have two shots to win a race this evening.

In the second, Jusred -- a 3-year-old filly -- will try for her second win in a row against six opponents in a $2,500 claiming race going 4 1/2 furlongs.

Then, two races later, Jusred -- the 3-year-old gelding -- will try to break his maiden in his 10th attempt against five other in a $3,200 claiming race going 550 yards.

Both Jusreds are owned, trained and were bred by Blane Schvaneveldt in California.

Unable to win in her first six races, Jusred finally got the job done June 5, leading all the way to beat $2,500 maidens by 1 1/4 lengths as the 7-5 favorite. She will break from the rail tonight under regular rider Baltazar Contreras.

The other Jusred has lost four times as the favorite.

The picks: 1. Toast To Tom. 2. Mirobolant. 3. Second First Shake. 4. A Secret Chick. 5. Highly Rated. 6. Splash Of Gucci. 7. Dale Badon. 8. Campaign For Royalty.

Four! Use Toast To Tom and Lanes End in the first, Mirobolant and Joequette in the second, Second First Shake and Lucinka in the third and The Rainbow Roulette and A Secret Chick in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Belle Of Tara could run well off a layoff in the eighth.

Post time: 7:15 p.m.
