Horse-by-Horse Analysis
Rocket Appeal (PP1)
Trainer: J.W. King Jr.
Jockey: Reshawn Latchman
Pedigree: Officer Rocket (GB) × Little Miss Kisses (B L’s Appeal)
Notes: Veteran sprinter with rail draw; could flash early speed. Has tactical gate ability and local experience.
Little Roo Roo (PP2)
Trainer: M.E. Jones Jr.
Jockey: J.D. Acosta
Pedigree: Limehouse × Pepper Bay (Bop)
Notes: Versatile gelding with solid closing kick. Acosta knows the track well and could time the move late.
Penguin Power (PP3)
Trainer: Jeff C. Runco
Jockey: Angel Cruz
Pedigree: Fiber Sonde × Aye Robbin (Robb)
Notes: 10-year-old stakes veteran with multiple wins at Charles Town. Dangerous if he gets a clean break.
Honeyquist (PP4)
Trainer: Anthony Farrior
Jockey: Maicol Mendez
Pedigree: Nyquist × Honey Chile (Invisible Ink)
Notes: Lightly raced but bred for speed. Nyquist offspring tend to excel in sprints. Could be a sleeper pick.
Youthinkthatsfunny (PP5)
Trainer: Anthony Farrior
Jockey: Angel Cruz
Pedigree: Fiber Sonde × Humored (Distorted Humor)
Notes: Consistent runner with sharp recent works. Fiber Sonde progeny dominate WV-bred stakes.
Thewitchisgone (PP6)
Trainer: J.C. Carlisle
Jockey: Maicol Mendez
Pedigree: Windsor Castle × Candy Man’s Girl (Charitable Man)
Notes: Has shown flashes of speed but needs a clean trip. Windsor Castle line offers stamina and grit.
Jefferson Native (PP7)
Trainer: Linda Dollinger-Stehr
Jockey: Andre Ramgeet
Pedigree: Officer Rocket (GB) × Absolutelygorgeous (Bop)
Notes: Longshot with pedigree upside. Could surprise if pace collapses.
Duncan Idaho (PP8)
Trainer: Jeff C. Runco
Jockey: Arnaldo Bocachica
Pedigree: Fiber Sonde × Holy Pow Wow (Indian Charlie)
Notes: Outside draw suits his stalking style. Bocachica is lethal at Charles Town and knows this horse well.
