We've been following the trail of Derby prep races for several months now, and it's fitting that we did. Now, with the Derby field mostly fixed except for defections, it's time for a complete change of pace.
Unfortunately, Sagebrush Downs in Kamloops, B.C. has no racing in 2018, so we can't run the Forego Invitational Stakes.
As an alternative, I'm thinking about a visit to wild and wonderful West Virginia for an afternoon at the Charles Town Races. They usually run their race card at night, but this Saturday is Charles Town Classic day, to be run in the afternoon. The condition book suggests a card of 13 races, but I'm hoping to shorten that to a more manageable number once entries are announced.
