The 2025 summer meet at Colonial Downs in Virginia gets underway Wednesday with a first post of 12:30 pm ET. With the help of the Betmix Angler database, I flushed out of a couple of potential longshot plays on the 8-race card.
Colonial Downs | Race 4 | 1:57 pm ET
#6 Daniel Sun (12-1 morning line odds) gets a longshot look for low-profile trainer Neil Morris. This barn had a 7-1 winner and 8-1 runner-up opening week of the 2024 Colonial Downs meet from just 2 starters and could get off to another fast start. This 6-year-old has yet to race this year, but note 2 local turf starts in 2022 netted a win and a second. Win-place bet #6.
Colonial Downs | Race 6 | 2:58 pm ET
#4 Incinerator (8-1 morning line odds) gets Victor Carrasco in the saddle and he was the most effective turf sprint jockey at Colonial Downs last year in terms of win percentage and ROI, including 2 local wins aboard this runner in similar spots vs. lesser competition. Recent form was sharp in Maryland for the continued class rise and is well-drawn in post 4. Win-place bet #4.
