6. Kenny Had a NotionVeteran ran willlingly against similar in latest
1. Gabriel SevenSpeedy sort’s form is all over the map but best efforts would put him in the mix; might try to control this one from the jump

RACE 4

7. Petty PerfectMakes third start off the bench and enters with four wins in five starts; might be speediest of all and outside draw allows rider Acosta to work out trip
4. SherunsthistownDead game when prevailing in latest when hooking up with favorite with 1/4 to go
6. No Body Likes MeSpeed figs say she’ll be tough on best; first in three months

RACE 5

8. Fiber ProofPretty green in first two outings but has flashed some talent; added ground might help
1. Buzz BunnyCompletely foiled by traffic two back versus similar, and last out exited state-bred company to no avail; return to WV-breds should help
7. Mister GrinchWilling despite disastrous trip in debut

RACING NOTES

  • Jockey Arnaldo Bocachica won four on Friday night, including three on favorites…
  • Leading trainer Anthony Farrior also hit a grand slam…
  • One of Boca’s wins came aboard Feeling Macho ($8.80), a first-time starter by Mucho Macho Man, who took a 4 1/2-furlong maiden special by two lengths. He’s trained by Jeff Runco for Nickotim Stable…

RACE 6

7. Zip StartEasy winner in season bow and runner-up came back to win
2. Juba’s ParadeFinished up 2024 with a flourish, but ’25 debut was dismal; return to better form puts her right there
1. Maggie’s GirlCouldn’t quite get going last out in the Fancy Buckles and has yet to recapture ’24 form; might be a good spot for her, though, as likely lone speed

RACE 7 – IT’S ONLY MONEY STAKES

5. Duncan IdahoFigures to be a handful here, and his last three show why: he’s won on the lead, stalking close up, and closing from well out of it; a nose away from a 5-race win streak
4. Time to RockGate issues have foiled him in last two, but he’s still run pretty well; a clean break would make a world of difference
8. HoneyquistDidn’t run badly in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint and now switches back to main track; a major contender, but he’s lost to the top choice four times in the last year

RACE 8

7. RestlessWent well clear in latest before emptying out; should be near the pace and waiting to pounce
1. Coronation TimeCredible tries versus better last couple and was an easy winner in two prior versus nickel foes
5. Rol Again DancerNothing wrong with last two outings and shouldn’t be far off the pace
