Race #4 feature a field of nine horses. Eight of which have run before. The top last out Beyer in the field is a 5. The first timer won't have to be much.

Race #7 features 12-year-old Coconut Willy and his trainer who is 0-for-82 over the last 3 years.

A son of Kingmambo, Coconut Willy debuted in a MSW at Santa Anita in April of 2000 for Ron Ellis. He was bet to 2/1 odds. Tiznow also debuted in that same race. He was 13/1 and finished behind Coconut Willy.

Race #8 features a 2/5 morning line favorite in Brave Nation. He's a West Virgina bred son of Indian Charlie trying WV breds for the first time. With the show minimum at $2.20 in the state of WV .. expect the bridgejumpers.

Race #9 features Deadly Dealer first off of the claim for the shady Scooter Davis. Deadly Dealer was once 2/1 second choice to Curlin in the Arkansas Derby. And 9/5 favorite in the Grade 2 Woody Stephens.

Scooter Davis is 47% first off the claim and maybe his sauce is strong enough to wake him up. He claimed him for 5K last time out.

There is a Ky bred and a Fl bred in the race. The rest are Wva.

That's the 8th race.

The Fla bred and KY bred are somehow accredited WVA breds.

Maybe Cannon Shell can gives us an explanation on how that works.

last time there was a negative show pool this big in WV they unfairly DQ'd the horse so they wouldn't have to pay it off... MNR just lost about $15k on the race.

Some states like Delaware make you accredited if you spend 90 consecutive days there before Jan of your two year old year. I dont know about WV but they may have a similar program.
