Fair Hill Races, MD, May 26 Preview
The first race, the Foxhunters Chase, looks destined for Kebo Valley from the Fisher combination of Jack and Sheila. Running Light may run close if he manages to complete the course. The second race, the Training Flat Race, looks like a race for Pantar. He was running down in Gulfstream this year and this simply looks like a soft assignment for the Bentley Hendricks combination. Catch Me First may make up the exacta with Cheyenne Wells not far away.

Naughty Prince looks the standout for the Amateur Jockeys Flat Race, the third on the card. A nice opportunity for Will Mann to show his style. We know his dad is flying in for the occasion! Imperial Gold, with the new amateur, Chuck Lawrence with the assignment, may make it close but not close enough. For the trifecta we suggest Zignal, from the Neil Morris stable.

For the fourth we look to David Bentley to continue his quest for a second championship with Local Treasure. Church Ghost may be a close for the place. The fifth, the Sport of Kings Maiden, should go to Cherokeeinthehills, who ran impressively first time at Atlantic City, for the Sheppard stable. Pressure King may be the one for the exacta, Flying Contraption should not be too far away for the third spot.

The sixth race looks a good spot for Father Krismas in his first attempt over timber. He won many chases in England (Paul Nichols) and recently won a flat race at Willowdale, showing he is sharp and ready to go. Natty Boh and Mr. Rockeby both look close for second, so it looks like a box exacta opportunity.

The seventh, the Miles Valentine Stake, has scratched down to a shorter field due to the pending racing conditions. We pick Najjm and Dynability for the exacta, you can choose who to put on top. They chased Tres Touche in the Iroquois stake last out. With soft ground we like Brinton Bridge to chase them to the wire for third spot.

The eighth, the Sport of Kings Unlimited Claiming Hurdle, Iron County Xmas, a very close second to the multiple stakes winner Al Skywalker, in his last start looks set for an easy win in this spot. Dynamite Vic, while not troubling the winner, may best the rest. For the trifecta Greek Hero should not disappoint.

The ninth, the Training Flat Race, looks like an easy assignment for Trebizond, fresh of his Grade I win in Kentucky. Niello looks set for the exacta. The last race, another Amateur Flat Race looks set for Catvantageous for the Doug Fout stable.

Naps of the day are Father Krismas and Naughty Prince.

The ground for the day was soft after heavy rain all week. The first race went to the Kathy Neilson trained Regal Again. This was his third in a row since he was claimed by the Neilson outfit, and managed to do it under top weight, and our tip! Snuggle continues to hit the board with a second here, and likely will win his races in the future. Third was Dancewel with the in-form Jack Fisher (two wins at Radnor the previous day) and ridden by Gus Brown.

The second went to Hark the Sound for Doug Fout and Robert Massey. Franc finshed a respectable second with Blair Waterman in the irons and Smoking Signal made up the exacta. For the third race, Free Admission, a horse we were very kean on coming into the race (hence our tip), broke his maiden in his first start. Bubble Economy finished second, another decent horse from the Jack Fisher stable, and Splendid Form, trained by X champion jockey Jonathan Smart, finshed third.

The final race of the day was won by the current champion jockey, Dave Bentley, on the first time starter over timber, The Knife Speaks. An impressive performance for sure for horse and rider, with Blair Waterman, who seems to have not have had luck on her side lately, not far behind on Maxi Tune. Tom Foley's attempt at claiming foul was quickly ruled out as he finshed third on Recanting.

Two picks on the day rounds out five winners for the weekend. Be sure to check our tips for the Fair Hill races, where you can really bet some cash!

The ground for the Radnor races was very good, despite all the rain, this set us up for a great day of racing. First race was won by Sham Aciss, trained by Jack Fisher and ridden by Gus Brown. Sham Aciss has good flat form and was the first of two winners for the Fisher stable on the day. Second was Salmo, and third, With a Star, is certainly one to watch out for. With a Star is a nice gelding by With Approval having his first start of the season. For the second race Upheld, with Matt McCarron jumped off to try to make all the running, but Preemptive Strike, with Robby Walsh in the irons, stole the lead at the third fence, and never looked back. He jumped the last ten lengths clear and confidently ridden to the wire, with Mr Perkolater closing fast. A great win for the Paul Rowland outfit. A tragic fall by How Goes sees Danielle Hodsdon on the sidelines for a while counting a broken collar bone among her injuries.

The front running master Al Skywalker, with Tom Foley up, was yet again a stakes winner, and yet again a winner of this race. This also happens to be our third pick on the day for a win! Iron County Xmas made it a good race in the closing stages but was beaten a head. The outsider, Vingt Sept came in third under champion jockey Dave Bentley. The fourth race went to Charlies Dewan, the horse that broke our "tipping streak". He was disappointing in the Virginia Gold Cup but returned to his previous form in this race, beating Wood Whistle (also second in the Maryland Hunt Cup and our tip for the race) with Bavario finishing third under Tiffany Mueller.

The fifth race went to Greek Hero, and having won at Iroquios, this makes it two wins in two weeks for the horse, trainer Alicia Murphy and Jockey Matt McCarron. Little Caveat, a good second, was coming off a long layoff, and Tropical Sun, with Tom Foley up was third. The final race on the day went to Doug Fout and Robert Massey with Way to Verify, by a head over Okie Dokie Smokie with Matt McCarron in the irons. This keeps Robert Massey in the drivers seat for the jockeys' championship, but it is very close at the top.

A good day for Jack Fisher, Paul Rowland and our selections!
