The Biz- June 22, 2024
Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:
- DATE: June 22, 2024 – NOTE: Post time delayed to 7:30 p.m.
- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: None
RACE 1
| 6. Sensual Chocolate | Willing try in last; leading rider Boca remains aboard |
| 2. Thunderslam | Has faced better but disinclined to even-money for first-time visitor |
| 5. Tizawinner | Drop back to nickel company a plus |
RACE 2
| 7. Barbers Point | Sharp score in last; may control pace again |
| 3. Lucky Blonde | Some decent tries |
| 4. Aim’s Jubilee | A win here would get trainer Reggetts off the duck |
RACE 3
| 8. Caliente Rum | Sharp score in last and runner-up came back to win next |
| 3. Sister’s Duty | Third off the bench and good try in last; 5-for-11 at the trip |
| 1. Fortes | Runner-up in last; likely to be a bit outfooted early, coming on late |
RACE 4
| 5. Muad’dib | Creeping up on a million in the bank; has swapped back and forth with #3 in here; note that rider Boca leaves for #3 |
| 3. Social Chic | Finished a bit behind top choice two back and a bit ahead of him in last; notably, pilot Boca chose #5 in last, picks this one tonight |
| 4. O’Conner Sunset | In the exacta six straight |
RACE 5
| 8. Ziggy Stardust | Shrugged off a pace rival and then held off the favorite in maiden score; probably won’t make the lead here but has run decent races without it |
| 1. River Malbumoonrvf | Second four straight versus similar, which makes taking likely short odds problematic |
| 2. Bad Lineage | Most of these look pretty similar in terms of running style; this late-running sort is the only exception, and better efforts would get him a piece of this |
RACE 6
| 6. Jubaslilballerina | One of the few in here with a prior 3-turn try; led late in 2023 My Sister Pearl before faltering, and better efforts contend |
| 3. Hessica | Two-time Cavada winner adds third turn for first time |
| 1. Train Wreck | Sharp score in first out in 13 months |
RACE 7
| 7. Lucylou Who | Stakes winner had useful return to action May 25 when chasing Moonlit Shadow to no avail; can move forward |
| 4. Someday Is Today | Concluded last year with a pair of dominant three-turn stakes wins; makes season bow |
| 3. Change the World | Nearly got the money in last when finishing two clear of top choice |
RACE 8
| 2. Here’sthebreadman | Finds lowest level to date |
| 9. Denizetti | Nearly won at this level four back |
| 7. Fappiano Halo | Returns from a brief freshening |

1.I’d like some”Sensual Chocolate”to be ate but”Iizawinner”to pay for dinner.
2.There’s “No Denying Denis”will be a menace,but”Lucky Blonde”has been plucky.
3.”Caliente Rum”and Reynold’s other one may make good runs,but”True Heiress”may inherit the lead.
4.3,4 and 5, I’ll go flat on the longest and box em all.
1,2,3 I didn’t see but
4.was enough to get me near even.
Bocachica is a good judge of horseflesh.
5.I trust”Ziggy Stardust”to do OK,but think”Grandy”looks dandy and will do better.
6.”The Sky Is Falling:has been appalling but”I Feel The Need”to concede to”Vino Dolce”.
7. “Someday is Today”for”Lucylou Who”is due to”Change the World”.
8.”Denzetti”is a bad bettie,and”Yareakh”a wreck so”Imlivingthedream”is the one who should cream this crop.
ps:I did my best but it’s no easy card.
