- RACES ON CARD: 8
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $3,599
- POST TIME: 7:00 p.m.
RACE 1
1. Divine Spirit | Lands in right spot to make it two straight after graduation score; added ground shouldn’t trouble, and fourth-place finisher from last won next |
7. Mrs. Speaker | Stretchout probably a good thing; graduated at 7f |
5. Gone With the Wyn | Even effort in last |
RACE 2
1. Pattern Bet | Second in the Reynolds barn (20% second after the claim); major excuses in last after being hung out wide both turns |
5. Thencomemorning | Deserving chalk makes first visit to CT; benefited from speed-favoring strip in winning two back but followed up with a good effort against Md-bred allowance foes |
3. Lucky Blonde | Kinda stuck at this level but keeps running credibly |
RACE 3
8. El de Chirel | Speedy sort might benefit from cutback in first local try; there’s not much early lick in here, and he’s drawn outside it |
2. Circle the Moon | Willing try behind 3-10 winner in last |
7. The Great Gazoo | Curious to see if shortening up helps the cause |

RACE 4
2. Overnight Pow Wow | Should be sitting one-two early and preparing to pounce; full sister to three other stakes winners should have too much for these at likely a very short price |
4. Change the World | If the pace heats up, this Runco trainee will be coming late |
5. Seneca Rocks | Late-running sort gets Bocachica in the irons |
RACE 5
7. Petty Perfect | Did the dirty work in last chasing What’shername |
6. Shewonttalktome | A definite contender but has lost this race six times |
4. Malibu Years | Inclined to give her another crack after disappointing outing in last |
RACE 6
5. Sea of Tranquility | Sharp score when dropped into claiming company for first time, and top five to run back have all finished in the money including next-out winner Denizetti; lands in good spot to repeat |
7. Ride the Brand | Return to two turns a plus |
2. Raise a Ruckus | Most recent two-turn try yielded a career-best Beyer fig |
RACE 7
4. Park Ave Prince | Galloped to graduate in first two-turn try |
6. Youthful Energy | Big fig in last when rallying into second in a race that’s produced two next-out winners |
1. Bradley Do Right | In the triple in nine straight |
RACE 8
2. Fuji Fire | Drops to lowest level; an off track would help |
7. Sensual Chocolate | Has been right there in three tries versus similar |
3. Tizawinner | Has traded places with #7 in previous tries |
