NICK’S PICKS: CoLONIAL DOWNS PICKS August 17

Nick’s Picks is back with Colonial Downs picks and analysis during the 2021 live meeting.
As he has done every year since Colonial Downs opened — all the way back in 1997 — Nick Hahn will share his picks and analysis, plus news and notes and opinions on the Colonial meet.
Also this year, he will share full-card picks from Derby Bill Watson, the legendary former on-air handicapper for Colonial Downs.
It’s safe to say there are no better guides to racing in New Kent than Nick and Bill.
