The Biz- August 29, 2025
Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Delaware Park:
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: None
- POST TIME: 12:30 p.m.
RACE 1
| 7. He’s in Charge | Arrives on six-race heater versus similar; likely gets a good trip drawn outside only rival with early lick |
| 1. Spotted Bull | A bit over his head in latest, now finds better spot; should be running at the end |
| 4. Johnnyfrenchfri | First after the Kravets claim; late-running sort has won two straight versus lesser |
RACE 2
| 6. La Tremenda | Arrives off easy graduation score over a next-out winner and projects as controlling speed |
| 3. Lumenique | Solid outing in latest to earn diploma when closing from well back to win; lack of early foot a concern, though, especially with this race a half-furlong shorter than last |
| 5. Bounty Killah | Finds lowest level yet and has a couple competitive tries versus winners |
RACE 3
| 6. Omar Comin | Shifts into Kreiser barn following middling try in return from bench; just a couple races removed from efforts that win here and arrives with a bullet three-furlong move |
| 3. Amusing Mischief | Might be speediest in a race where other players will be closing; trainer Graham can get ’em ready for a big outing off the bench |
| 7. Uninvited Guest | Has plenty of good dirt tries and has done the turf-to-dirt routine effectively before |

RACE 4
| 4. Renovator | Not a bad debut outing despite greenness, as this one ran only in spots but still beaten just a half-length; plenty of upside |
| 5. Just Golden | Stidham has a pair of firsters, legs up one of his main riders in Cedeno on this one; maternal granddam a stakes winner on turf, and sire Upstart has a strong first-out record |
| 8. Tyrus | Exits same race as #4; gets blinkers on after credible try |
| 6. Jaxer | Showed little in debut versus NY-breds and didn’t take much action at the windows, but connex keep him in special weight company |
RACE 5
| 2. Ray’s Blue Wagon | Not surprised this one backed out late in most recent after disastrous stumble to his nose leaving gate; best likely good enough |
| 1. Betta Go Go Go | Stuck at the two-life level a long time but virtually all at significantly higher levels; makes second start in the Simone barn and return to better form would suffice |
| 10. Global Phenom | Last out — his fourth start in just over a month — might have been a bit of a heavy lift following two very good outings; a bit more time here, and return to best would put him in the mix |
RACING NOTES
- Check out the jockey and trainer stats at the meet through Aug. 23…
- Delaware will not race Sept. 3 as the card did not fill…
- Jockey Jaime Rodriguez won twice on Thursday, scoring on Warrior Wayne ($21.60) for trainer Michael Pino and on first-time starter Embrace the Moment ($2.80) for Greg Compton. The Yaupon filly ran to her short odds for a debut maiden special weight win…
RACE 6
| 2. So Sophia | Shifts into hard-hitting Delgado barn after consecutive wins at CNL; making short work of conditions, and ability to win on the front end or running into the pace a positive; named rider Sutherland would be here for just one mount |
| 1. Mystic Seaport | Veteran has been beaten fave in last two but connex seem pretty eager to lose her — her claiming price has come down from $100k to $32k in four starts; tough on best |
| 4. Gift of Gab | May not have appreciated soft and yielding ground in last two, but prior form puts her right in the mix |
RACE 7
| 4. De Angelo | Willing but wide throughout in latest and hopes for a bit better trip this time; winner of that contest won a second-level allowance at MTH next time out |
| 3. Neon Sign | Moves up the class ladder with back-to-back wins; has early foot but can stalk and pounce |
| 1. Intrepid’s Legacy | Probable speed of the speed has lost eight straight; seemed to have vanquished Soze in latest, but that rival rallied and easily passed him |
RACE 8
| 1. Magic Mover | Speed of the speed and best probably too much for these |
| 4. Amazing Bernie | Good try in latest despite stumbling beginning |
| 6. Work Hard | Had to work for it when dropped down into claiming ranks and off at 1-2; lightbulb on? |
