The Biz- May 11, 2024
Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:
- DATE: May 11, 2024
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $13,009
RACE 1
| 5. Underboss | Recommend being wary of odds getting too short on any runner in this middling group; this one improved on drop to bottom |
| 3. Strive for Stride | Flashed a bit of speed versus special weight foes, should benefit from class drop |
| 6. Manhattan Image | Even try in last represents improvement |
RACE 2
| 2. Jamestown Road | May be fastest early of these but doesn’t need the lead |
| 7. Castle of Caylee | Won’t be anywhere early but should close |
| 4. Sommer Velvet | Speedy sort has won three of six at the trip |
RACE 3
| 4. Arrowwood | Back-to-back wins at this level; can stalk or lead |
| 7. Cousin Winnie | Has done best work at two turns |
| 2. Emberly | Just missed versus better in last in much improved outing |
RACE 4
| 5. Cowboy At Heart | Got a confidence boost when beating lesser in last; has won at this level before |
| 1. Advance Cash | Looks like a major player but trip could get complicated if he can’t clear early, and his history suggests he won’t |
| 3. Grand Escape | In good form now |
RACE 5
| 6. Destin’s Rainbow | Wide-open heat; inclined to draw a line through last; prior form showed an improving runner with good early lick |
| 3. Mr. Dumbledore | Grams trainee has been knocking on the door of this condition for a while |
| 8. Caffeinennicotine | Much improved in last when just missing at 42-1 |
RACE 6
| 6. Aim’s Jubilee | Showed improved speed in last |
| 5. Golden Eib Micrphn | Strong outing in first at the track; leading rider a plus |
| 3. Stacy Attack | Big effort in last when just missing at this level; three to run back have all run well |
RACE 7 – Coin Collector Stakes
| 7. Jubawithatwist | Last year’s champion WV-bred 2yo should appreciate chance to compete versus own age; drawn well to get stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 6. Marshall Peanut | Can’t fault a thing he’s done; finished just behind top choice in last and may be vying with that one for similar trip |
| 3. Time to Rock | Sharp score in last after shrugging off 2-1 pace rival and holding next out winner Eleanors Jack safe |
RACE 8
| 2. Whatta Notion | Even effort versus better in last and catches manageable field here |
| 4. Ria Formosa | Light bulb on after graduating in 21st start? Better efforts should compete with these |
| 9. Linda’s Taj | Drop from allowance company a plus |
