6 | LAST HURRAH | |
1 | WINNING QUEST | |
RACE 2 | ||
6 | SHOW US RYAN | How did “Ryan” not win last start? Has great Colonial record. Weslinn ran even with Ryan on Father’s Day. |

4 | CLASS OFFICER | |
RACE 5 | ||
3 | QUEEN OF THE DISCO | Ten-year old Nuit makes 18th Colonial start. Of 12 career wins, 6 were at CNL. Opting for others here. |

RACE 8 – $75,000 BUCKLAND | ||
