The characteristic events of Charles Town stand for us. The Grade 2 Charles Town Classic and Grade 2 Charles Town Oaks emphasize a Friday evening program with 13 race.
Skippylongstocking, two-time defending champion in the classic, returns to find an unprecedented third consecutive victory in the event and may be a bit darkened with a bad result in a strange run edition of the Whitney. But he bounced back from a medium -sized Whitney last year to win this competition, so be careful.
The question in the oak may be clearer. Which of the 10 second -year Fillies is ready to take a step forward and participate in recent winners of Oaks such as Society, Vahva and Mystic Lake? The most accomplished in a slightly accomplished field is the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies from last year, Wodka with a twist, which is also the 2-1 morning line favorite. But it is not difficult to argue for others.
Charles Town Oaks
- Grade 2, $ 750,000; 7 Furlongs for 3-year-old mares
| 1. Indy Bay | Connex believes Dud in the last minute because of a short time between races; She had enough time to prepare for this and placed three works on the spa |
| 2. Not too late | Longshot won the Maryfield Two back for Band Turf Uping, but needs a big step forward to fight here |
| 3. TOP | I was not walking badly at G3 and show Horse returned with a bet profit |
| 4. Andrea | Speedy Sort won a small Gulfstream -Selang in the last minute and is one of the four saffies here |
| 5. Paradise City | Another of Saffie Quartet, she makes her second start after a fissing |
| 6. Luvumorgan | Yup, another saffie; Gets blinked after a well-beaten fourth on 4-5 last; Sorting lightly has an advantage |
| 7. Wodka with a twist | Placed twice in class 1, including when the second in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies last fall, she searches for her first victory in eight starts in the past 14 months; Flattered by two-backs good attempt when second to the next G1 test winner Kilwin |
| 8. Secret faith | Has usually destroyed Louisiana-Breds and has a lot of Bullring experience, but lonely recent attempt versus Open Company was a mess in the G2 Fair Grounds Oaks; Rider comes in front of the mountain |
| 9. Zip Start | Local hopeful colleague WV Sorts Last Out in the Bishop Memorial; Waters deeper here, but the costs of trainer Runco often run great in the tough company |
| 10. Volleyball Princess | Parx Shipper (and NC-bred!) Flashed talent when he threw rivals in the Aque in the Aque in the Aque in the Aque, but has not really continued since then; must show more |
