Charles Town picks and analysis: November 22, 2025

Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Charles Town Races:

RACE 1

3. Amendment	Whole bunch of changes last out for this one: first in a new barn, first under the lights, first route on the dirt — and it all seemed to catch up with her after a half-mile, when she was suddenly done; we’ll give her one more crack
7. Double Spirit	Two things seem likely: this miss will eventually knock this condition down, and she’ll be overbet when doing it; even-money is pretty aggressive here, but if the rains do arrive, note that she won (and was DQed) on a sloppy track
2. Don’t Call Me Babe	Makes second start in the Farrior barn after showing speed and stopping last out

RACE 2

2. Keep On Coming	Useful return from a two-year (!) break; trainer Allard is 6-for-25 at CT in recent years
5. Head of the Class	Just missed in claiming three-life company in latest; trainer Brown is 6-for-20 with a positive ROI second after the claim and moving into allowance company
1. Bigz’s Cabana Boy	This guy knows one way to do it — right to the front — and the inside post is the shortest way around

RACE 3

2. Gone With the Wyn	There’s a ton of early speed in this race, and this one will be running at the end; usually doesn’t quite get there (13 seconds-thirds versus only four wins), but won’t get a better setup at this level
8. Ran the Red	Drawn outside others with speed and may be able to work out a stalking trip; arrives off a win
4. Neolithica	Ran poorly versus better in latest and Magee barn is ice-cold (4-for-62 last two months), but her better form wins here

RACE 4

5. Gilda’s Girl	Trainer Geralis wins at a 50% clip at CT the last two years, and this mare has two recent wins under the lights
8. Maddie Ten	Might be speed of the speed and can use that to best advantage from outer draw
1. Notiptoni	Rallied nicely to win in latest; kinda feel like the trip is the key for this one, as it seemed like she didn’t love being between runners

RACE 5

4. Overly Critical	Loves to win (12 times in 40 starts) and barely qualifies for the condition
1. Jester’s Song	Looks like the better of the Farrior runners but was shrugged off by 10-1 winner in latest
8. Solomons Gold	Drops from better company after a couple of off-color outings

RACE 6

8. Love to Eat	Figures to be controlling speed, and last time she ran around two turns, she stayed on willingly versus better
6. City Taah	Last was poor but prior form just fine for these
3. Streetcorner	Has been third in three of four tries versus similar

RACE 7 – West Virginia Futurity

3. Yolo Manolo	Impressive debut; the only question is the distance, as this one’s best sibs have thrived around one turn
1. Maskedandmummed	The only stakes winner in the field beat fillies in the Casey Memorial with a solid effort; benefited from missing the troubles two back when favorite whiffed the turn
4. Noble Ruling	On the improve

RACE 8

4. Idiosyncrasies	Sat a good trip off the speed when running second in latest and projects to get that trip once again
9. Culminate	Good effort in latest when winning the speed duel but not quite surviving to win; drawn outside others with early foot today
3. Rocket Science	Horrible outing in first off the claim but cuts back to trip at which he’s won before and drops in class
