$200,000 is a nice purse. I wonder why some big time sprinter doesn't come in and demolish those nobodies.

4.5 furlongs... if it was 6, they might have some... first defense should have ran in this

b/c the turns at CT resemble that of parking garage. It does a number on shippers and takes a lot out of them for their next race

I see larry sterling, jeremy rose, and ramon dominguiez are making the trip, so at least they got some names up there in the bullpen this weekend

too bad the downs will be filled by 5X more slot players then horsemen for this event

Having Ramon and Rose around is a big coup for Charles Town. Plus, Joey P is no slouch as far as sprinters go - heck, he's probably the biggest horse to hit the track at Charles Town since Cherokee's Boy or A Huevo back in the 2004-2005 range.

Anyway, this is pretty awesome for the folks who regularly follow CT.
