Fort Erie – Race 1: Claiming | 4:30 PM
Distance: 1006m | Purse: $12,474 USD
Age: 3yo+
Top Contenders:
-
Forty Flash – A seasoned 7-year-old with solid gate speed. While not a top favorite, he’s a reliable performer who could surprise if the pace is right.
-
He’s Fully Loaded – Backed by Sánchez, this 6-year-old carries decent form and experience in claiming races.
-
Boston Bay – Agile and well-handled by A. Ward. A solid pick for exotics.

Lulu’s Lullaby – Likely the one to beat. With I. Mosqueira aboard and a good draw, this 5-year-old mare could dictate the pace early and finish strong.
Prediction:
Winner Pick: Lulu’s Lullaby
Exacta Idea: Lulu’s Lullaby – He’s Fully Loaded
Expect a tight finish, but Lulu’s recent workouts show she’s in top shape for a big run.

Distance: 1107m | Purse: $6,362 USD
Age: 3yo+
Notable Entries:

-
Bennigan – With D. Lewis in the irons, he’s got experience and speed. A strong win candidate.
-
Thirsty Baby – Always competitive at this level. Comes in with sharp morning drills.
-
Smackover Lime – A sneaky value play if the pace breaks down late.
Prediction:
Top Pick: War Echo
Value Bet: Thirsty Baby
War Echo’s youth and raw pace give him the edge, but don’t sleep on Thirsty Baby closing late if the frontrunners fade.
