REMINGTON PARK · RACE 8
UPCOMINGAllowance · $39,000 purse
Allowance, for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, that have not won a race other than maiden, claiming, or starter.
Allowance race — a step above claiming. No horses are for sale; written conditions limit the field to horses of similar experience.
● Track record at 1 Mile: 95.2
The shape is the story here: there's little established early speed, so a tactical horse can control soft fractions up front and prove hard to run down.
Our number tops on #5 Fine Finish (a presser/stalker, M/L 7-2). Recent figures: 83 · 83 · 76. Backup is #7 Midway Vow at 4-1. Use #10 Tikihut in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.
