With a quick break from jump racing (until Thursday at Saratoga, at least), Riverdee focuses on the flat this weekend. V Inspired makes her second start for the stable Saturday. Trained by Todd Wyatt and ridden by apprentice Taylor Kingsley, the 5-year-old mare takes on 10 rivals in the $43,125 turf race. She finished fifth in her seasonal debut and drops down a notch to Virginia-restricted foes but shortens up a furlong. She is 12-1 on the morning line. I’ll take a nibble of that. Post time: 2:33 p.m.
Sunday, we venture back to Colonial Downs for the Riverdee debut of Win Street. The son of Street Sense has a second and two thirds in seven starts on the turf for Live Oak and Michael Trombetta. The 3-year-old gelding is 3-1 in the maiden claimer on the turf for Trombetta and jockey Paco Lopez. Post time: 1:28 p.m. Guess they don’t offer a Saturday/Sunday double…
Hopefully post times slide between Wimbledon rounds and World Cup matches on a sports-filled weekend.
Next week, Cyber Ninja and Vintage Year aim at the Jonathan Kiser Novice Stakes at Saratoga Thursday.
Win Street makes his Riverdee debut Sunday.
