The Biz- June 1, 2024
Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:
- DATE: May 31, 2024
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $22,152
RACE 1
| 1. Lanetta | Fire sale! Everything must go – yours for the low, low price of… |
| 8. Gone With the Wyn | Just missed against similar in last, and certainly the breeding says added ground a plus; note that rider Bocachica jumps ship to top pick |
| 7. Linda’s Taj | Nice to see jockey Ramgeet back in the irons |
RACE 2
| 1. Karma Bus | Drop from allowance company and cutback in distance should do this one some good |
| 4. Wysoquiet | Probably the best of these, but do you want 7-5 on that proposition? |
| 3. Talking Teddy | Easily beat two-life company in last |
RACE 3
| 1. Christopher’sheart | Mmm, tasty chalk! Probably wants more ground but it might not matter in drop to bottom |
| 6. Just Murphy | Hasn’t missed by much in a couple of recent tries versus similar |
| 4. Candy Outline | Troubled trip in last when beaten fave |
RACE 4
| 7. Zen Master | Drops back to level at which he’s won before; Carrasco in for the mount |
| 6. Big Rowdy Dan | Parlayed good trip to score at Thistledown |
| 3. Group Eighteen | First start in Jones barn; voided claim in last suggests caution |
RACE 5
| 1. Grandy | Kept good company as a juvenile; first off the bench |
| 5. Caffeinennicotine | Narrow misses last two versus similar |
| 3. Defiant Giant | May not have liked going in last; sharp score two back after overcoming bad break to run down speed, and return to that might be enough here |
RACE 6
| 2. Bonnie Bluetooth | When likely pacesetter #5 Emberly tires — she’s 0-for-6 at the distance — this one should be in position to pounce; just missed going 6 1/2 furlongs in last when beaten a half-length |
| 3. Arrowwood | Dead-heated for third with top choice in last, owns four wins at the trip, and has two recent wins versus similar |
| 8. Sneaky Lynk | Closing sort has run competitively at this level |
RACE 7 – Fancy Buckles Stakes
| 7. Stryda | Disappointed on WVBC night when Coach Rube blew up the toteboard, but prior form plenty good enough; one of several with early lick in here but may be the fastest of all; makes season bow, liking the 5-furlong move in preparation |
| 10. Great Spirit | Half to sprinting ace Dr. Feelgood (10-for-10 at 4 1/2 furlongs) pretty good in her own right; little bit sluggish getting away in last couple prior to time off, but crazy-fast gate work May 24 may indicate that problem solved |
| 2. Maggie’s Girl | No question the talent’s there, but we’d like to see a stakes win — she’s 0-for-3 in stakes — before taking 8-5 |
RACE 8
| 10. Thunderslam | Has faced better; made a bit of a middle move in last after stumbling start before tiring |
| 3. Seeker | Speedy sort should benefit from drop in class |
| 1. Sensual Chocolate | Perfectly credible try in first try in two years; suspect odds will be shorter than 2-1 morning line |
