- Date/Post time: 28/12: 30 August
- Races: 9
- Transfers: Choose 6, $ 30,505
Race 1
Look for an eruption of speed from the center of the starting gate under this maiden limited in Virginia that sprint on the turf.
| 3. Then what time | Too many check marks go with Duarte’s driven farmhouse, once a yearling of $ 220k that also has speed, either on grass or dirty. |
| 7. Serendipithymonay | A tough task that matters which McClure rents to place for the other, but better to anticipate Boyce on board the second peat. |
| 6. Chimney sweep | It was Aquirre’s turn to close the Serenditymonday day in his last beginning, and he seems to improve with every peat start. |
Race 2
Woman Virginia-restricted $ 16k Maiden-Eisers go 1 1/16 miles on the outer turf in a field of 10, all wrongly for each other.
| 4. Fortunately this day | Ran just shy for a victory in Delaware at 7 1/2 Furlongs, who should wear well with added soil on the outer secretariat. |
| 5. Last look | In her debut from 2025, the four -year -old from Williams ran well at this level here, a mile and left her the best for the piece. |
| 8. Promaja | Bowersock, the movers of Bowersock quickly returns to this level and distance after showing energy in the later stages less than two weeks ago. |
Race 3
Regarding dirt, one of the smaller fields at Colonial $ 50K has optional claimants “non -winners of two other than” those six Furlongs sprint.
| 7. Because you are beautiful | Magee may have to consider this Acer for the claim crown, because she has won five of her last six starts and is looking for four fruit today. |
| 3. Passage East | Worlds bump into McMahon’s audible mandrievefeulen in search of a five -fruit with the four earlier victories that all come to different locations. |
| 6. Admiral Hopper | Nixon’s Stakes -Starter may have recently found a home on the dirt after often won on the Gulfstream synthetic. |
Race 4
Go in a peat print $ 30k three -year -old mares or older mares and mares who have never won three with a speed threat that looms up between talented stalkers.
| 3. Midnight Mary | Catalano, again to get acquainted with colonial, tries to go two-to-two with a leader, although this time comes to the class |
| 5. Ithinkiloveyou | Farrior’s Merrieveeulen makes her colonial debut after a resignation of winning twice in Laurel with a small Pimlico against it in between. |
| 6. Youkemecharlie | With an in-meet victory, the three-year-old from Trombetta can sort it out at the right time. Paco Lopez returns on board. |
Race 5
A field of nine -year -old Maiden Fillies Sprint on the turf, the morning line put more on those who make their debut.
| 8. Alds | It can be wrong, but it is likely that it took no long after her first start for Trombetta to find grass with this pedigree. |
| 9. Byway | It doesn’t get much more Virginia than a Ford HomeBred from Morgan by Virginia-Foked Quality Road Racing in Colonial. |
| 1. Pointillism | Just like Byway, the Motion Motion has seen a number of brilliant mornings in Fair Hill and comes into her debut with heavy grasszel. |
Race 6
In a litte unconventional condition, a first optional $ 50k requirer, 2-year-old mares go a two-edge mile on turf.
| 8. She has been tightened | Danner’s two -year -old has the best result, will not say, at this level. Seems to get away from the gate today. |
| 3. Napoli | Correas shipped a purchase of $ 38k from the Fasig-Tipton digital sale of March 2025 from Keeneland to make its debut. |
| 6. Yes GLO | Eagle Point brings back a mare that first made her on the dirt in a race pulled out of the grass. Family tree suggests better on turf. |
Nick’s Notes
- Picks will continue below.
- Colonial Downs Jockey and Trainer Statistics up to and including 23 August …
- Jockey Sheldon Russell Had a Wednesday hat trick. The experienced rider scored on board Royal Suite ($ 8.00) For trainer Kenny McPeek” PetCoff ($ 12.00) For Woman Brittany RussellAnd Against each other ($ 13.60) for Michael Matz…

The three victories for Paco Lopez gave him a lead of one win over the old leading rider I am CurtisThat Wednesday 0-out-5 hit …
- First starter Midnight Queen Blew on the toteboard in the third of Wednesday. Trained by Irvin Flores and driven by TudioThe two -year -old Midnight Storm Filly won half a length and paid $ 129.20 to win. The Exacta, with the favorite in the second, returned $ 239 for a deployment of one dollar …
Race 7
On the inner turf, $ 16K requirements test a two-edge miles that includes what perhaps the horse of the Colonial encounter last year.
| 9. Atmidnacht | Although the return to colonial does not meet the good on peat that was well mentioned, the Merrieveeulen van Campbell was a triple colonial winner last year and is being established today. |
| 3. Princess Javoncia | After 46 Starts, Welcome to Colonial, with a peat surface that seems to favor older horses such as the eight -year -old mare of Merryman. |
| 10. Memphis Showboat | The veteran mare of Downing may not have seen the circle of the winner recently, but consistently runs well when asked. |
Race 8
80-plus Beyers are needed to win this peat route for reimbursement on the second level/optional $ 50k requirer, so look for one that has done that before.
| 6. | The four-year-old gelding of Trombetta has run three 80+ Beyers when he came from Wide in a near-miss from Wide earlier this month in a near-miss. |
| 2. Mr. Etxarrio | Joseph returns an early colonial meeting winner with spouses on board in search of repeat, one of the three hoping to do that. |
| 1. Boppy O | A starter with several bets known for seconditis, Sillaman’s new claim occurred in his second start this meeting with a solid victory. |
Race 9
A dozen “not -winners of two lifelong” $ 16k -requirements tackle two turns on the inner turf without a clear highlight in the field.
| 12. Lord Donegal | Steeplechase Starters get more respect on the big peat at colonial than at other locations. Morris’s horse can benefit from pace. |
| 6. Bourbon Outlaw | The Veteran of Farrior returns Russell on board and walked well in his colonial debut when he was confronted with harder competition. |
| 11. Cool the J | Casse’s gelding is falling a bit in the classroom and may find a mile more for his quick preference. He will be company when he is in the lead. |
