Charles Town Race 9 - Robert Hilton Memorial S. Stakes
OWEN ALMIGHTY (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 3/05/2025, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 2012m in the G1 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Sure to make his presence felt. NEOEQUOS (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 1207m in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from six outings. Big chance once again. GUNMETAL (8) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1308m in the G2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. TRES CORONAS (2) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by 5 lengths last time over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Jonathan Ocasio has been the pilot at his last two wins. Must be respected.
