Tuesday, May 12 “Donation Play of the Day:”

For the second time this meet, we are going to utilize trainer Randy Klopp and his 4YO gelding, Ryan’s Wish, as our “Donation Play of the Day.” This one returns today as a beaten favorite — the last time we played him — and the barn wins with .29% of those kind over the last 104 tries. In addition, the race on April 15 was the gelding’s first outing since Nov. 5, 2025. He probably needed that last race.

The rider today will get his 5th straight “leg up” on Ryan’s Wish and he has won with .31% of the last 26 mounts for the barn, too.

Adds up for me.

I will bet $10 WPS on this one, who is listed at 7-2 odds in the ML by the folks at Brisnet.com.

All the dollars earned throughout the meet will be donated to benefit the Homeless Veterans of Indianapolis at the conclusion of the 2026 meet at Horseshoe Indianapolis. A year ago, we donated over $1,500 to the cause. We are hoping to surpass that number this year.

Why don’t you join in. Doesn’t hurt to help.

All the Best / Gene
