Mountaineer Saturday August 1 West Virginia Derby 9 Stakes Races
The best race card of the weekend is probably Mountaineer on Saturday, which has, count them, 9 stakes races, headlined by the G2 West Virginia Derby. Again, Tekton is entered, along with Stanford who is not expected to race there this weekend.
In the Derby, War Story has ML odds of 12-1 but there’s no way those will hold up. He’s the top late runner, along with Tale of Verve at 4-1. Their odds will be closer at post time.
The last race contains two horses switching to turf with good numbers, the Grid’s top EP Cerro, and the one with top PF last out, achieved on mud, Mal Guapo. Both are 12-1 on the morning line.
