Charles Town Race 4 - Shenandoah S. Stakes

THE WINE STEWARD (2) was well held in the won by National Identity over 1408m at Aqueduct at his last appearance six-and-a-half months ago. Will appreciate this easier race. FASTER GATOR (4) went fast early and went on to score by 1.3 lengths last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. DORADO (1) did well last time to finish second over 905m at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. PORK CHOP PETE (7) hasn't been far away lately, beaten one length at his most recent appearance when second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should park just off the speed. Must be respected.

Back after a long spell. Finished off last campaign ran last of 7 at Listed level at Aqueduct at Aqueduct on February 14 over 1408m, 21 len behind National Identity with 56kg at $3.37. First up last campaign made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Listed level at Saratoga at Saratoga on July 31 2025 over 1408m, nose behind Doc Sullivan with 56kg at $7.10.
