Charles Town Picks and Analysis: October 25, 2025 * The Racing Biz

Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card of Charles Town Races:

RACE 1

4. Jester’s song	Makes first start in Farrior barn (31% first of claim at CT) after decent effort vs similar; should be back a few lengths early and looking to attack
2. InterMiami	Lots of early zip for this guy, but that first time off the bench wasn’t very good as he was free at a slow pace the entire distance and couldn’t close the deal; will have to take a step forward, but will probably count on favoritism
1. Coronation time	Decent attempts versus similar ones and cuts here at the desired distance

RACE 2

5. Belle Cause	A useful return to action in over a year and a step further from there; added soil probably a positive
3. Preshow hype	Nice win in the last, but DQed after ousting an inner rival early; repetition makes her tough
4. Fancy Conchita	Half-sister of $380k earner Fancy Concho has finished well lately and should benefit from additional ground

RACE 3

2. Gericault	Lately took the lead late compared to comparables, but couldn’t hold on; An 0-for-6 record gives pause, but on the other hand he has finished second or third five times
6. Singularity	Secretly good effort the other day, when he was dragged forward from the outside box and didn’t get a breather the entire journey, but played to the finish
3. Elections	Probably heavily deployed on the first local shed attempt which did very well this meeting, but recent early sluggishness advises caution

RACE 4

4. Big Mo Gee	Solid effort last despite slow start, smartly moving between horses for place; will be tough if he can get out of the gate in good order
7. The Commission	Won as a 2-5 shot should be with a local arc
3. McHale	No idea what to think about this guy being the first in the Brown barn, but the new trainer has a 21% success rate on horses going 4 1/2 furlongs for the first time in the barn

RACE 5

1. Titled defense	Trainer Schoenthal (2.65 ROI with new starters) comes with a Maryland-bred Golden Lad filly that is one and a half to three debut winners
5. Netta Rox	Some tough work for this Jimmy Creed filly making her debut for trainer Javier Contreras
6. Won Ton	Tonalist is slightly below average with two-year freshmen, and despite a 20% success rate, trainer Runco’s ROI with two-year rookie runners is 0.73; good works and maybe win, but the odds can be hard to swallow

RACE 6

1. Coastal cruise	Half-brother to stakes winners Coastal Mission and Lewisfield, who looks like he could become one of them too, after a pair of dominant wins; extra land shouldn’t be a problem
7. Sunbeam	The fast type was outmatched in the WVBC Russell Road, but may be able to keep this one under control for quite some time
3. Midnight Mesa	Makes the third start from the bench and is heading in the right direction

RACE 7

6. Moonlit Notion	Tend to forgive at the latest if anxious before the race and empty late; 4-for-5 during the trip
5. Kissing	One of a number of these with early footing, but won the trip from right next to it
4. Irish hero	It may be the speed of speed, but arrives after a few off-target excursions; classroom lighting positive

RACE 8

6. Like cop	Overmatched versus starter enemies, but previous form against these types was plenty good enough
4. Lars	Game try the latter and can be the speed of the speed
1. Watson dinner	Has done better, but has done the best job on turf and turf
