Charles Town picks and analysis: June 13, 2026

RACE 1: 4-2-6-7

#4 Bowling Blue improved in latest and gets back to one-turn trip at which she earned highest Beyer fig; that came against special weight rivals, so easier spot may help… #2 Sable earned the highest last-out Beyer in the field… #7 Unconditionally probably merits a dollar at likely long odds; though the McClure runners usually need a race or two to hit their stride, she doesn’t have to be a world beater to be competitive here…

RACE 2: 5-2-4-8

What up, Dogg? #5 Dio Double Gee got bested last out by a 3-5 shot at DEL but should appreciate returning to CT and this dash distance… #2 Camp Crystal Lake rallied smartly in latest to graduate in a race that’s produced a next-out winner…#4 War Thunder has run well in last couple without quite getting over the hump…

RACE 3: 3-8-4-5

#3 Apicturesworth was a little bit outfooted going short in both starts, and last out faded from the scene; added ground a plus, and debut, against special weight foes, really wasn’t bad… #8 Whinny Miss Lynny ran a big one last out, prevailing in a duel for early supremacy but unable to resist the winner late; can step forward…

RACE 4: 1-6-5-8

#1 Cowboy at Heart rallied smartly to defeat morning line fave Camp David last out, triggering boxcar payouts after going off at a whopping 92-1; note that that was his first two-turn try on a fast track in over three years, and he might get a good setup to repeat… #6 Camp David fended off multiple rivals on the front end but not the final one last out and may have forward company once again… #5 Ridiculous has pretty consistently been in the mix…

RACE 5: 2-4-1-7

#2 Lino’s Legacy didn’t run terribly against allowance foes but sure seemed to appreciate the class relief in latest when just missing versus similar… #4 Snitch Dorada is likely to be bet like a good thing, but I dunno: her lone dirt try was back in ’24, she hasn’t raced since March, we’re just not feeling the likely short odds… #1 Starcastle moved forward nicely in her second start and with blinkers added…

RACE 6: 4-7-5-9

#4 Roux Bucchero didn’t run terribly in his local bow against better and should appreciate class relief… #7 Speedy Sammy has shown speed and faded in most recent of his starts; gets seven-pound bug up today… #5 Jaker had a disastrous stumble last out and lost all chance but did run on a bit late and galloped out well; prior dirt starts fit with these…

RACE 7: 6-2-4-7

#6 Professor Grace was outfooted last out going short against better but still ran on late; she should be in a good spot to continue her strong run since the Sandoval claim… #2 City Taah was competitive at this level when last seen in April; trainer Runco having another strong year… #4 Ready to Rocknroll should be involved from the jump…

RACE 8: Confucius Say Stakes

5-1-10-12

#5 Spotafreeone bested morning line fave Pascaline twice last year and might be better than that, running down longtime leader Ray of Sunshine to dead-heat for the win while earning a career-best Beyer fig; trainer Runco has a strong record second off the bench… Late-running #1 Xcellent Start probably will have too much to do to get the money here but will be rolling late and has run credibly against better… #10 Pascaline was beaten favorite in thiree of four local starts and must work out a trip from the outer third…

RACE 9: 3-4-9-7

#3 Laughintothebank won last out for the red-hot Reynolds barn (11-for-20 at the meet)… #4 Divine Romance makes her second start in the Farrior barn and has better to run back to… #9 Seven Natty Patty has her moments…
