Picks and analysis for this evening’s card from Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races:
- DATE: May 10, 2025
- RACES ON CARD: 9
- CARRYOVERS: Jackpot Pick 6, $3,521
RACE 1
| 3. Underbid Brittany | First-timer by exciting sire Vekoma and out of a productive enough mare; shows some zippy works, and while we’re reluctant to endorse a horse debuting for less than her auction price, everyone else here has holes, too |
| 1. Coif | Disappointingly bland runner-up at 1-9 in drop to claiming company; most likely winner but at what odds? |
| 4. Dice Arm | Useful enough return to action when fourth against similar last out |
RACE 2
| 2. Charitable Windsor | May not be good enough but should be speed of the speed; considerably overmatched vs. WVBC champ Runaldo last out and should appreciate more moderate group |
| 6. Two Bronze Stars | Cooked in a three-way speed duel in latest; may be chasing again here |
| 7. Gimmethatsugar | Should be running late |
RACE 3
| 3. Redhotchiliphilly | Only loss came at Colonial in $100k allowance; beat six of these last out |
| 10. Over the Bull | Middling try two back against these but followed with an improved outing in stakes company; seems to prefer one-turn dash distance |
| 5. Party Time for Me | Will look to close |
RACE 4
| 3. Judgement Day | Ran big when a good second to top local runner Jubawithatwist and has tactical ability to earn a good trip |
| 1. Noballstwostrikes | Trainer Runco 2/7 when bringing horses back off a year |
| 7. Prospective Love | Speedy sort may be fated to similar outcome as latest but should be controlling the pace |
RACE 5
| 10. Mor d’Oro | Got clobbered in every direction leaving the gate in debut, still ran on willingly; could take big step forward |
| 3. Easy Pass | Just missed versus similar two back; second start off the bench |
| 7. Fiber Proof | Zippy work tab towards debut |
RACE 6
| 3. Mr On High | Ran pretty well in latest on drop to claiming ranks; with just two starts, still has upside |
| 7. Bossme | Hasn’t shown a ton but only four starts to date; can improve |
| 5. Mia San Mia | Took some money in debut when dropping rider Cruz; interesting to see leading rider Bocachica take the reins in this spot |
RACE 7
| 1. Rick’swarmheart | Nice-looking middle move in latest before tiring late; improving sort |
| 7. Thedingoateyobaby | Has faced better and likely to be speed of the speed; blinkers on in effort to carry speed farther |
| 3. Blood Brother | Trainer-jock combo is 6-for-13 |
RACE 8 – Coin Collector Stakes
| 5. Moonlit Notion | Hasn’t been challenged yet in three 4 1/2-furlong tries |
| 4. Midnight Mesa | Subsequent outings suggest there wasn’t much behind him that day, but it was still a good-looking first out score; some zippy works since |
| 3. Annapolis Road | Didn’t do much wrong as a 2yo, and trainer Runco clicks at 32% off long layoffs; might prefer longer trip |
RACE 9
| 6. Super Spirit | Late rally just missed in latest when this one galloped out in front |
| 3. My Sassy Valentine | Cooked in a duel with 4-5 favorite in first try versus winners; class relief a positive |
| 2. City Taah | Leading rider Bocachica apparently fixing to stick around for the nightcap a positive |
