Delaware Park picks and analysis: June 14, 2024

Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:

RACE 1

7. Lucky in Love	Inclined to forgive poor dirt outing in last; trainer Simone 28% second off the claim with a positive ROI
2. Tooshay	Beaten fave last two on dirt, drops to lowest level
3. She’s Fantastic	Consistently handled like she shows more in the morning than the afternoon

RACE 2

3. G’s Fireball	Two-back effort probably not as good as it looks, but last probably not as bad; repeat of recent tries wins versus these
1. Sky Buy	Should be in front early
2. Miss Fabiana	Gets promising bug rider Robles up

RACE 3 – ON THE TURF

3. Big Bolt	Look closely or you might miss that one turf start: a runner-up effort against special weight rivals on debut; when the show horse ran on turf again two starts later, she got a 55 Beyer fig; arrives off a bit of a freshening
6. Baby Blocks	Probably gets bet down from 9-5 morning line on drop to lowest level; best efforts likely win this
7. Little Hot Mess	Caught a rugged group in Keeneland debut on turf; heat has produced four next-out winners, and winner Secret Money now a G3 winner; returns to grass for first time since

RACE 4

6. Bar Down Express	Throttled maidens in last to give bug rider Radcliffe first-ever win; well-spotted here to make it two straight
8. Kick Startness	Early running could be a bit of a scramble in this bulky field, and this one might be able to sit off and pick up pieces late
2. Wow Wish	Best efforts contend

RACE 5 – ON THE TURF

2. My Sanctuary	Nothing wrong with either of last two after return from break
10. Hoya	Show horse from most recent turf try, Inchon, has since won maiden and first allowance races on lawn
6. Cesnola	Gets class relief but must show more

Racing Notes

Apprentice Ederik Robles starred with four wins on the day, including the first three and the nightcap. Among them was Blaze On ($16.40), who won a starter/optional claimer in race two for trainer Karin Wagner…
Eight different trainers won the eight races…

RACE 6

7. Rate Confirmation	Early speed types should set it up for this one to pick up pieces; be wary of odds getting too short, though, as he got the right setup in last and couldn’t deliver
3. Peach Nectar	Crushed two-life company in last but not likely to have it his own way here; others, especially #2, figure faster early
5. Pistol Or Shotgun	Arrives off a solid win in two-life company and figures right trip

RACE 7

6. Tirupati	Caught a tiger in debut outing; all three to run back from last have finished in the money
3. Tactical Joke	Bred to be a dirt sprinter, gets first try at it; away a year encourages caution
8. Shining Spirit	Keeps running decent races

RACE 8 – ON THE TURF

7. Uncle Truly	Horses that have beaten him include Jersey Derby winner Twirling Point and G2 American Turf runner-up Formidable Man; ought to have too much for these on the drop
8. Prince Fred	Willing try in a fast-paced race where the winner came from last
1. Elusive Image	Struggling a bit at the finish but honest early pace explains that; still held off rivals; has run mostly good races on the lawn

RACE 9

1. Lady Aethelflaed	Trainer Ness 24% with first-timers in MCL company; zippy works include June 7 bullet in company with another Ness runner who’s started twice that was fastest of 28
6. A Lotta Moxie	Solid local bow in first start of season and first in Allard barn
5. Skull Legend	One of five sibs won first out and trainer Barboza can get ’em to win on debut
