Timonium Picks and Ponderings: August 23, 2025 * The Racing Biz

Race 4: Maiden claims $ 5,000, 3-6 year olds, mares and mares, 6 1/2 furlongs

1. #7– Teddy’s Lucky Girl (5-2): Half -sister to Millionaire Eastern Bay; She has shown slowly but steady improvement, and Tim Keege runners usually get better with the times.
2. #2-Lorraine’s Way (5-1): It will be gate-to-wire or bust for this fast mirror.
3. #4-Talbot Heirloom (9-5): She likes to finish second and gets blinking for the first time.

Race 5: Claim $ 10,000 (N/W2L), 3-year-olds and higher, mares and mares, 4 furlongs

1. #3– Full of Shenanigans (7-5): Blazing-fast Merrieveeulen will be almost impossible to beat if she breaks well.
2. #5– Krul n rod (5-2): Walked well in her first start of a 7 -month dismissal.
3. #2-Infathering (12-1): Gets a much needed distance reduction of a mile.

Race 6: Allowance Optional Claiming (N/W1X), 3-year-olds and higher, 1 mile

1. #6-Oom Cat (7-2): Has a good tactical speed and gets a key driver switch to Tais Lyapustina.
2. #1-aldjandro (8-1): Spring and summer spent in the midwest; This looks like a better place.
3. #5-kbcya later (12-1): Won three of his last four dirt starts, and maybe they won the last if he could have settled.

Race 7: Claim $ 16,000 (conditioned), 3-year-olds and up, mares and mares, 6 1/2 furlongs

1. #1 til the lid on (10-1): The majority of the year raced over her head and had a tough journey for the last time; Today it looks like the day.
2. # 3 – Antonacci Girl (9-5): She has the power, but does not always maintain her movements; Arnaldo Bocacca has to win just right.
3. #4-ade (5-2): Look for her to do her best too late.

Race 8: Allowance Optional Claiming (N/W2X), 3-year-olds and higher, mares and mares, 1 mile

1. #5-cluck cluck (9-5): As long as she runs her usual race, she will win very easily.
2. #4-Mooie Charme (5-2): She held herself at this level last year and would have to close a short exactly to her stablemate.
3. #2-gourmet (6-1): Won three starts back at Penn National and has a good late speed.

Race 9: Shine again stakes, 3-year-olds and up, mares and mares, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. #1-I am a sweetheart (6-1): Must get a great journey from the pace on track and convert.
2. #5 plate (9-5): She was third of the very cool Sprinter Carmelina in her last two dirt; Now gets away from that rival.
3. #6-Discete Ops (2-1): Won impressively in her last start at the end of March; We will see how she first does a 146-day break.

Race 10: Maiden Claims $ 40,000, 2-year-olds, mares, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. # 4- Tipmanee (5-2): She became second place in the very promising just Philtored Last Buiten; That rival in a bet at colonial downs earlier today, and if she wins, it will stimulate this stock.
2. #3-kittyup (4-1): Phil Capuano is very sharp with first starters; Note the board.
3. #6-doc’s Miracle (2-1): She has had her chances, but at least gets class lighting.
