Mahoning Valley Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight

VERNON'S BEST (2) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Big effort to finish 3rd last start around here and has a good draw. No shock to see a win. RED CHIPS (6) 4yo first starter by Itsmyluckyday for trainer Jeffrey A Radosevich. Betting is the best guide. BUMPER STICKER (9) First start at the races 3yo by Biondetti for Robert M Gorham. Watch early betting. HIDDEN HEART (1) Solid effort when finishing 2nd last time here and has the ideal alley. Should race on the speed. Dropping back to a shorter trip. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.
