CHARLES TOWN


POST-SCRATCHES


12th: 8th Charles Town Classic (G2), 4+, 9f (DD)

Eppler handling of Page McKenney simply brilliant and won't take too many more big wins to put him into contention as greatest claim ever. Has tricky post on 7/8ths oval but is the kind of horse who rewards confidence and makes you feel he can't lose when targeted for spot. Stanford may get dream trip up front..

Best Value: #9 Page McKenney 6-1 2nd
Next Best: #7 Stanford 9-2 WON ($9.40)
Exotics Use: #5 Imperative 7-2 4th
Super Add: #4 Donworth 3-1 3rd

$1 Exacta (7-9) Paid $33.20
$1 Trifecta (7-9-4) Paid $158.50
$1 Superfecta (7-9-4-5) Paid $469.30


Good luck!
