RACE 1: 5-7-1-2
In this group of horses in off-color form, #5 Robbielikeshim probably enters with the best recent outings; probably won’t make the lead but is tactical enough not to be too far away… #7 Ridiculous would benefit if the early pace is heated…
RACE 2: 6-1-7-3
#6 Caitlin Said Run wasn’t bad last out when chasing the pace going 4 1/2 furlongs and could benefit from added ground, as two of her best turf tries came going two turns… #1 Kelsey Hill Girl wasn’t good last out but has outings that contend here… #7 Judy G has finished in the money in three straight…
RACE 3: 7-5-4-1
#7 Goldeck drops into claiming company after five tries, including a runner-up finish, against special weight company for the high-percentage Murdock barn; drawn outside others with speed… #4 Golden Boss Man also drops from special weight company; trainer Brown winning at a 28% clip on this class move… #5 Super Mountaineers makes his first start since June…
RACE 4: 4-5-2-1
#4 King Kontie showed speed before faltering as the favorite in latest and generally hasn’t been great this year, but let’s give him another crack to see if he can find his better form… #5 George will likely go favored and might be the speediest of the speed… #2 John’s Notion is in perhaps the best form of the bunch, but that’s mostly going two turns, and he’s just 1-for-5 at this dash distance…
RACE 5: 1-3-4-7
#1 City of Bling ran a good one last out when fending off racelong pressure from Ojin but unable to contain Regal Star late; this one seemed likely to be third in upper stretch before regrouping to finish strongly… #3 Serendipitymonday makes his first start in over a year here, so make sure you get some value, but prior dirt outings fit here… #4 Ain’t Dere No Mo makes his first local start…
RACE 6: 6-8-1-5
#6 Saint Paddy’s Day has been in the money six of seven career starts and posted a dominant win over 1-2 McDougal in latest; should sit a good trip off some speed here… #8 Easy Pass set a very fast pace two back when staying on for second going two turns and rallied willingly in a one-turn dash in latest; drawn outside other speed… #1 Gurney Halleck was outfooted in latest after running a couple good ones previously; will need to rally here…
RACE 7: My Sister Pearl Stakes
Picks: 2-9-4-1
#2 Juba’s Parade won the WVBC Ramey Distaff last out for her second win at the distance — two more wins than any other runner here at nine furlongs; she also won this event two years ago and might offer a whiff of value in a race in which any of five could nab the top spot… #9 God’s Pride is a lightly raced sort on the improve; ran a huge one when testing uber-talented At a Premium in the WV Lottery last month and validated that outing with a 10-length win in latest; might just be a different type than these, but we suspect she’ll get bet, and that third turn remains a question, at least for now… #4 Zip Start caught a perfect setup when a lively pace melted down in the Cavada, and to her credit, she cashed it in with a three-length score; goes beyond seven furlongs for the first time here… #1 Petty Perfect led most of the way in this event a year ago before settling for second behind the now-retired The Sky Is Falling; bit of a troubled trip two back when third in the Cavada… #6 Skie’s Music was the beaten favorite in the WVBC Distaff last month and had most of a quarter-mile to get by but could not…
RACE 8: 7-2-4-6
#7 Yes to Love has been facing better and has a solid record at the distance with 11 in-the-money finishes in 18 starts; has caught some tough rivals in recent outings, including Cavada runner-up Edy’s Flame… #2 Sophistry makes her first start in the Farrior barn after $10k claim, but the distance is a bit of a question mark; Farrior has a 28% strike rate first off the claim at CT… #4 Over the Bull has won all three career starts when offered for a claiming tag…
