Tuesday, March 14, 2000 | 9:41 a.m.

Wednesday's races

1st Race -- Meteor Game - First baby race of the season sees this gal drawing the rail for the quarter-mile drag race, jockey Antley and trainer Dutton forte. Smokin' Charlotte - Garcia aboard first-time starter, draws well, maybe name best endorsement. Value Play -- Carson City Red

2nd Race -- Zante - British bred draws outside post for the route turf outing, Nakatani/Frankel/Juddmonte connections dangerous. Beautiful Noise - Draws better inner post, McCarron aboard for main trainer McAnally, a factor throughout. Value Play -- Pharellia

3rd Race -- Apricot - Owner-trainer Jones tabs top jock Nakatani here, draws good post for the sprint, a factor here. Shimmering Sand - Desormeaux scales Stokes trainee, draws outside post, position to the turn tells tale. Value Play -- Sherri Shine

4th Race -- Jeremy's Treasure - Flores for trainer Lewis, good post to work from, should be sitting a good spot for last run. Bit of Wheat - Owner-trainer Van Berg taps another Flores for ride, training at Hollypark, could trip out in this. Value Play -- Kristen

5th Race -- Annie Lil - Gomez aboard Stute trainee, fits well at this level, draws good post for downhill run, a contender. Star of Windsor - Irish bred gets newcomer Bravo here, draws well, should stalk for best chance. Value Play -- Passion Flower

6th Race -- Five Nines - Ramsammy aboard Cassidy trainee, fits this mix, draws well, five nines beats full house all the time. Pincess Candi - Pincay again, should be a forward factor in this, Candi is dandy and can be handy. Value Play -- Sallys Pie

7th Race -- Apremont - Speedball keeps gasping late but 6 panels may be suited for gate-to-wire win, McCarron stays aboard. Boca Fast - Boca is buccou fast, Solis to help, should be a factor throughout, might be in right spot if top one falters late. Value Play -- Majorbigtimesheet

8th Race -- Encantado - Pincay scales for Greenman-owned and Greenman-trained filly, bred for green, must overcome outside post at the mile on turf though. Sasin - Irish bred gal draws good rail post, trainer Gallagher tabs Blanc to ride, should be sitting the catbird seat trip. Value Play -- Armitage
