Colonial Downs in New Kent, Virginia opens a standard summer season season after its first profitable spring boutique competitors in March, giving the late D. Wayne Lukas the second stakes victory of his legendary profession when his Colt America promise received the Virginia Derby.
At the moment, Colonial will start its summer season event with this week’s four-day run. The observe can be recognized for a number of high-quality dust races, together with Saturday’s Star Denas Crustalkes. Named after the 1979 Maryland champion Sprinter, the stakes are restricted to three-year-olds raised in both Virginia or Maryland, or SIRES standing in these states. There are 9 sophomore runners lined as much as be an excellent betting race.
The colonial essential dust tracks have been tasting velocity in a brief March competitors the place there have been no grass races. That staining pattern has additionally been utilized to sprints in current summer season competitions. Nonetheless, Stardenas Crustakes takes place for seven furlongs (or seven-seven miles). This can be a “tween” distance, usually exposing sprinters who do not wish to exceed three-quarters (or six furlongs). I are likely to desire horses that minimize far all the way down to seven Harrons after they enter the sphere with sufficient frontrunners to make sure a strong early tempo. #5 Barbadian Runner.
The Barbado runner is Barbados, an unfamiliar stallion in Maryland, and has been very constant all through his 14 profession begin, just one worse than fourth place. His solely current begin was his third begin within the turf within the James W. Murphy stakes. When he was fourth, he collapsed 7¼ lengths over a mile (initially deliberate for grass), and Prime Minister Dennis ran second behind on the 1/sixteenth mile Delaware Dareby. Admiral Dennis briefly appeared on the Kentucky Derby Path within the spring and ran fourth within the Toyota Bluegrass Stakes, so the runner-up end of the Barbadon Runner at Delaware Park exhibits high quality.
Now castration competes on this restricted curiosity and cuts to seven furlongs. That’s, Boise of Jockey Forest has to measure his off-pace rally for a one-turn race. However Boyce took him on the Delaware Derby, however total it was 2-for-6 with the Barbadian Runners and 7 furlongs and one mile within the two Farrell Park Stakes.
Restricted to a $30 finances, I wager $10 to beat Barbadon Runner within the hopes of him getting off within the 3-1 vary, then keying him first with a $1 triple ecta with 5 horses who can end within the second and third. Beneath are 5 to make use of #1 Saxtonmay probably be a pacesetter from an excellent dash victory at Laurel Park. #2 is superba stem and bouncing sprinter who not too long ago moved into the barn of Corridor of Fame coach Invoice Mott. #3 StudlyDorightI’ve been against harder competitors over longer distances not too long ago, and needs to be higher at this place. #7 Sacred ThunderHe completed fourth within the Delaware Derby. and #8 Slam Ideawho needs to be a part of the tempo and runs very properly within the race when he avoids hassle.

Colonial Downs, $10 to win in Race 9, #5 ($10)
