Charles Town Picks and Analysis: August 22, 2025 * The Racing Biz

Choices and analysis for the map of this afternoon of Charles Town Races:

RACE 5 – Sadie Hawkins Stakes

3. Maggie’s girl	Probably check this of the jump and should be difficult to come in; Cooked in speed duel in the newest
5. Petty perfect	Perhaps well positioned when the top choice falters
2. The sky falls	Let fly to win as the last (including a third quarter of 23 3/5); Earlier career form places her in the mix

Race 6

10. Jungle Boogie	Half of the winner Jungle Beast Beast gathered willingly gathered, despite a little troubled journey in the last minute and may be ready to take another step
8. Depart me	United by talented rival in the newest and repetition brings him there immediately
4. Gimme a scream	Stretch out did not go as hoped when it was pressed by Captain Hallett, but he looks like a cut above what is in this group

Race 7 – Last spell at night S.

3. Penguin -power	21-Win Veteran may be able to put and pound in a few behind a duel when you’re done
8. Duncan Idaho	The best of this group and should win, but his record when drawing the outer half of the field (4-out-8) looks much different than when they are pulled in (10-out-11); Be sure to use in your multi-race inserts, but beware of the opportunities that go too low
4. Honeyquist	Was happy to avoid Duncan Idaho in the last minute and responded with a victory; it will probably make wings on the front

Race 8 – Misty Bennett Pink Ribbon Stakes

2. Strong	Best victories here; Searches for stalk-and-pounce trip and has won a degree 1 and other Graded Events since the last visit to CT
4. Mystic Lake	Probably grab the early lead and go as far as she can and can be difficult to come in when it comes loose; Connex Hope Last two against excessive rivals increase its self -confidence
3. Free as a girl	Defending champion in this event is only a cool veteran, with 21 victories and $ 2.5 million banked; Doesn’t seem like an inch as good as top pair

Race 9 – Robert Hilton Memorial Stakes

6. Just an honest shake	Sneaky-good try when making a middle switch, and the presence of a bunch of early speed here will force him in a single-approach
7. Owen Almighty	Makes the first start since an enormous effort in the Kentucky Derby when the only runner involved in the early running to stay late; Maybe prefer if he had a start in the meantime, although trainer Lynch wins with a clip of 18% with similar breaks
8. Gunmetal	Improving the kind of caught a talented rival as second in the last minute and has tactical speed to get a good journey

Racing Notes

Trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. Could have a big night. He has two runners, including 8-5 Mystic LakeIn the pink ribbon; Noquo (7-2) In the Hilton Memorial; A quartet of runners led 5-2 Indy Bay In the Charles Town Oaks; and two, including two -time defensive champion Skippylongstocking In the Charles Town Classic. Joseph won both the Oaks and the classic last year …
Trainer Jeff Runco Similarly, it can have a good night, mainly in the state bred by the state. He has introduced nine, including 4-5 favorite Duncan Idaho In the last enchantment …
CT -Trainers and riders in the large races include Anthony Farrior And Arnaldo Bocaccawho work together Faster gator (6-1) In the Hilton Memorial, and Jeff Runco And Bocchicia With Zip Start (20-1) in the Charles Town Oaks …

Race 10 – G2 Charles Town Oaks

8. Secret faith	Must use tactical speed to take advantage of the best and brings her rider; Bullring -experience a plus
1. Indy Bay	If Connex is right about timing, it should be on two races after a great effort
7. Wodka with a twist	Two-back effort behind Kilwin seems to indicate sprinting on the main number is her game; A handful if so

Race 11 – G2 Charles Town Classic

1. Banning	I just missed a profit of degree 1 when he stormed home late to miss a neck in the Churchill Downs, a scene that can be repeated here – perhaps with a more positive end – drawn with a lot of speed
4. Skippylongstocking	Both CT classical victories came loose on the leadership; It is unlikely that he has that scenario here; His Whitney might be better than it seems at first sight, while he threw down for a only third quarter to take the lead before he was empty
5. Komorebino made	Last year’s show horse in this event should be given the pace he wants

Race 12 – Autumn Overnight Stakes

1. Moon lit kiss	Went voluntarily at the latter start after unmanageable slow start cost her a reasonable shot in the chic buckles; The ability to encounter the pace can be of good service to her here
4. Overnight Pow Wow	Likely speed of the speed makes the third start of the bank and first crossed the thread in five straight street
6. About the bull	Should run at the end

Race 13 – Frank Gall Memorial Stakes

1. Runaldo	I got a good journey after a break to win a race that three produced to run in the Exacta of four to run back; Possibly cycling back to the form he flashed in the end of ’24
5. Pascaline	Flashes away after irregular racking and beats in the Leavitt on 2-5; A lot of talent
9. Teachinthereease	Pulled outside of other speed and can work out a good journey unless the pace warms up
