Mountaineer Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
BLIND EYE (6) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 13 lengths, over 1106m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HOT WINGS (8) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1609m at Mountaineer Park, beaten 19 lengths. That followed a win at Mahoning Valley at the previous outing. Won't find this as tough so he can recapture winning form. GEMSTONE WARRIOR (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1673m. Finds a suitable assignment and can make amends. BORIS BADENOV (4) recorded his first win last start over 1207m at Mountaineer Park (Dirt), getting home by 6 lengths. Re-unites with Y Yaranga who was on board last start. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
