Colonial Downs Sat.July 13 Free Picks Viriginia Oaks and Derby
Colonial has their biggest day of the meet today with the Virginia Derby G2 and Virginia Oaks G3 headlining a night card with 3 other stakes races. First post is at 5pm ET.
The 3 listed stakes on the undercard are stacked with 30 horses, included 2 races for 2yo’s. The Oaks has a competitive field of 11 and the Derby 10.
Praia looks somewhat unbeatable in the Oaks but Hold Our Destiny is the only real speed.
The Derby is more competitive, with Rydilluc a heavy ML fav, but Charming Kitten is actually top LP at 7-2. Jack Milton 2nd in LP at 4-1. The lone E horse is Redwood Kitten at 10-1 and has top EP rating. Fear the Kitten is also in the draw for whatever that’s worth. Pick: Charming Kitten.
