Pimlico, Race 6, $125,000 Skipat Stakes, Post Time 1:28pm
The Skipat Stakes attracted seven horse mares and mares galloping six furs for a $125,000 wallet. This may be where you can bet on your vulnerable favorites #3 One Magic Philadelphia It returned from a 4.5 month layoff to a lower finish to what was a promising 2024 campaign. From this race perspective, the more interesting favourites are coming back from the bystanders #5 Over the agesThe horse won six of nine starts in 2024, including four stakes races that were held by the Grade 2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes in Keeneland last fall. She ran well in the past when it was fresh from the layoffs. Unlike one Magic Philadelphia, she has already proven on the wet track with a 2-for-2 record. Another proven winner on the wet track is #1 Apple Pickerwho is this skiputt stakes defending champion after winning last year’s running in a sharp closing effort on a muddy track? The victory raised the Apple Picker record to 2-2 at Pimlico after winning the $100,000 Weathervane Stakes in 2023. For many candidates in this race, Apple Picker’s only question is that she comes into the skippad from the layoffs. Thankfully, the long layoffs of over six months are the category that excels with trainer Brittany Russell with 18 winners from the last 63 starters to return from absent for over six months. Finally, if taking a chance on all these layoff horses isn’t your strength, you probably #7 Striker has a dial The horse you are looking for. She is currently appearing in this race, with an optional succession allowance that claims a victory in Aqueduct, which earns fast speed numbers.
Theatre: I’ll bet #5 Zeitlos (2-1) Win and play her with an accurate box and triple box #1 Apple Picker (8-1) and #7 Striker has a dial (5-2).
Pimlico, Race 8, $150,000 Chick Lang Stakes, Post Time 2:48 PM ET
The 11 3-year-old horses are set to compete for six furlongs in the Chicklang Stakes. #6 Keep it easy The race returns to a sensible sprint spot, and is a beat-hit horse based on an eye-catching 5¼-length victory in the Ed Brown Stakes with 6½ furlong at Churchill Downs last fall. He was defeated in his 3-year-old debut in an impossible location at the last Grade 2 Coolmore fountain, and not only was he asked to go 1 1/16 miles, but also became something of the ultimate Kentucky Derby presented by the sovereignty of the Woodford Reserve winner. Well, this year I returned to the sprint race for the first time, winning 87 Beyer speed figures in my 2-year-old back pocket. The 3-year-old version of Keep It Easy gives him his first chance to show his stuff in the sprint. This race has the opportunity to catch long shots in the exact ones and triple sections. #4 Normandy Coastlisted at 12-1 odds on the morning line. A kind of wet track that could be Pimlico on Saturday – especially early in the card – Normandy Coast’s winning victory won in Keeneland’s sloppy $300,000 Pallisard stake. Chicklangfield also includes a potential budding candidate in the sprint division, a 3-year-old. Faster than #7who started his 2-2 career in Maryland, last time he missed his head in the $145,000 Bayshore Stakes. His trajectory of improvement should be sufficient to compete head on him at this location in his hometown of Maryland.
Theatre: I’ll bet #6 Maintaining Easy (4-1) Win and play him with Exacta and Trifecta Boxes #4 Normandy Coast (12-1) and Faster than #7 (6-1).
