Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:
- DATE: June 14, 2024
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $42,190
RACE 1
3. Crafty Windsor Cat | Finds lowest level and should control the early pace |
2. Mad Swann | Drops off credible try versus better |
1. Essential Magic | Dominated two-life competition in latest |
RACE 2
5. Lanetta | Boxed in at key moment in last, still overcame it to win; confidence builder might help this miss get back to better form; has kept better company |
3. Summertime Rose | Trouble lines in last three |
1. Get a Grip Marilyn | Got a freshener after declining recent form; fall form would put her right there |
RACE 3
6. True Buckpassing | Has a couple of near-misses at special weight level |
7. Carmelized | Second off the bench after keeping better company |
8. Generous Woman | Showed nothing in debut, can improve on drop to claiming company |
RACE 4
6. Roman Candle | Ran a pretty credible race in last when 38-1, now returns to class level where she fits; last time versus similar, she galloped |
4. Frenchies Gold | Good sign that Runco’s go-to pilot Boca takes the mount on the drop into claiming company |
7. Lucky Bop | Should appreciate the class relief; gets blinkers on |
RACE 5
1. I Am That I Am | Has kept better company; switches into Jones barn |
6. Blameitonthefun | Just held on in pace-controlling win in last, likely tries for a repeat of that here |
2. Road Slew | Last foray into nickel company netted an easy win |
RACE 6
8. Windsor’s Tracker | Has won this race in three of last six starts, including last out, while never favored |
2. Missionsninetynine | Speedy sort will try to control pace but likely face pressure; has finished behind top choice in two of last three outings |
6. Auburn Mill | Won at this level four back and rises back to it after consecutive wins versus lesser; after tepid start to the year, Pickett barn with three wins in the last month, including two in last two weeks |
RACE 7
6. Runaway Beauty | Only out-of-the-money finish came when fourth in the Original Gold (at 14-1); owns two two-turn wins |
2. Overnight Pow Wow | If she can carry her speed two turns, she wins here, and the breeding says she should; but do you want to take 3-5 on a horse trying something she’s never done before? |
3. Kristinachrysalis | Rebuffed pace challenge, still had enough to hold off closers in strong effort in last; one of five to run back has won follow-up |
RACE 8
10. Bonnie Bill | Has mostly kept better company; two back winner Austin from Boston moved back up class ladder to win next out; Magee brings bug rider Radcliffe in for the heat |
4. Dixie Cannonball | Tries to make amends after disappointing in last when up the track at 5-2; should be forwardly placed early |
3. Alpha Chi Rho | Wins on best, but last out voided claim, time away, and precipitous drop push us towards a wait-and-see attitude |
