Will the racing be ‘honest’ as larger purses means a few owners can pay their bills for the rest of the calendar year?

Colonial racing is as honest as you will find. Boutique meet has stables shipping in from all over. no cliques here.

as previously mentioned....ther e is no turf racing until the summer

I know, I got the memo after I wrote it lol  ngc3

I downloaded race 4-9 Brisnet forms for each of those races assuming there were turf in there stakes races.  For stakes I'll wager on dirt and turf.

Knew the 4th wasn't turf as I typically only wager on Maiden Special Weight races on the dirt and it connected to the stakes.

They have a slew of stake races on Saturday including the $500,000 Virginia Derby. The top jockeys who will be there are Irad Ortiz Jr, Flavien Prat, and John Velazquez.
