Race 4

Virginia-restricted $ 16k requirements, a lot with victories at Colonial to find the circle of the winner in a peat sprint.

6. Justice in the Wild WestVirginia-bred from casual farmhouse is falling to Claiming Company for the first time since a girl. Very tact.

2. LightningIn a mile and sixteenth here, Fulmineo’s only loss was in the mile and an eighth Virginia derby versus deterministic.
4. Hardspun reasonAlthough an older horse, the hard gelding of motion is half as much as gigante and strives for a form of three vague.

Race 6

No outright speed in this two-turn test from Maiden claims Milers who will keep an eye on each other who will be the first.

7. YanceyPull a line through the last race that is pulled out of the turf and the mountain of Centeno looks better at a little higher level.
3. Shane FalcoShowed more in a sturdy sprint than going on the softer. Also see a small decrease in the class.

Race 7

Allowance/optional claimants sprint the dirt with three who come a victory with that not so happy to join them.

3. SleepwalkerMaybe lagging behind the turf since he left Colonial last fall, but found her return satisfactory with some cut in the grass.

Race 9

In the All Brandy for Maryland-Virginia-restricted mares and mares, many contenders have been introduced who want to spoil love colonial to spoil a three-level.

3. LifelovenslaughterUnbeated since the end of a dismissal, Trombetta’s Mare by Lemon Drop Kid has developed a stalking style that works well here.

RACE 10

Eleven “non -winners of two lifelong” claimants try a grass route where there can be enough pace to put a closer.
