Timonium Picks and Ponderings: August 31, 2025 * The Racing Biz

Race 4: Claim $ 5,000 (conditioned), 3-year-olds and higher, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. #2– Cloud Music (4-1): Was caught in the lead in his last few starts, but this field looks soft enough to steal.
2. #7-Lake Agent (9-2): Has a lot of advantage and the free time since late can probably have done something good.
3. #1-southern Horse (3-1): Second on the overwhelming favorite core on the opening day; This is a much, much easier place.

Race 5: Claim $ 5,000 (conditioned), 3-year-olds and higher, 4 furlongs

1. #3– Swift Tap (8-5): Showed speed and faded longer in his last pair, but should be able to take this short distance.
2. #4- Call my name (3-1): Must also be shot at the direction of the immediate outside of Swift Tap.
3. #6– Stellars The Leadership (7-2): Won here last year under similar circumstances.

Race 6: Allowance (N/W1x), 3-year-olds and UP, MD-limit, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. #2 alle de hardwagen (2-1): Looked promising in the winter, but went to the sidelines after a fifth place in the Miracle Wood Stakes; This is a good place to return.
2. #5-Bad Guy (7-2): Will need a well-timed ride, but maybe it might get Sharp-Riding Yedsit Hazlewood.
3. #3-ADDY’s Lady TNT (15-1): Won three times in the winter and spring in MD and makes his first start of an autumn of two months.

Race 7: Allowance (N/W1x), 3-year-olds and UP, MD-limit, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. #1-Foggy Dew (9-2): Set honest fractions and hold the lead in Charles Town; We may not have seen his best yet.
2. #7- Great quality (7-2): Won for the last time in Delaware in Gate-to-Wire style in his third race on a nine-month break; Another one that seems to be getting on its best step.
3. #6-Square Slice (4-1): With the exception of a very boring race that starts back (his only race between March 2024 and July 2025), one of his last different races here seriously.

Race 8: Claim $ 5,000 (conditioned), 3-year-olds and higher, 6 1/2 Furlongs

1. #2– Kussling (2-1): He has won three of his last four dirt matches and can beat the pace.
2. #5-little bit risky (5-2): Won a stretch game last at Penn National; He and Kussling are the only runners in this race with more than two victories.
3. #7-banditsgoldechild (9-5): Will look to steal and jump from the outside.
