    • Two years ago, Daniel Alonso's Skippylongstocking (Exaggerator) ran off to an impressive victory in the GII Charles Town Classic and returned last term to replicate the feat, winning by 5 3/4 lengths as the even-money choice. At Charles Town Friday, the 6-year-old will try for the three-peat when he lines up against seven others in the nine-furlong test. This season, the grey finished third in the GI Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream in January before taking Tampa's Challenger Stakes Mar. 8. Third in the GII Oaklawn Handicap in April, the Saffie Joseph Jr. trainee shipped cross-country to take the GII Hollywood Gold Cup at Santa Anita May 26. Let go at 20-1 in his latest race–the GI Whitney Stakes–Skippylongstocking tired late to be seventh, beaten over 12 lengths by Sierra Leone (Gun Runner). Jose Ortiz will ride the 7-5 morning line favorite. Joseph also figures prominently in the seven-furlong GII Charles Town Oaks earlier in Friday's card. The trainer is responsible for no less than four of the sophomore fillies entered, including 5-2 morning line choice Indy Bay (Take Charge Indy), winner of three consecutive races this season including the six-panel Jersey Girl Stakes at the Spa June 8. In her graded stakes debut, the dark bay finished a distant third behind the highly-regarded Echo Sound in the 6 1/2-furlong GIII Victory Ride Stakes at te Spa July 3. Joseph is also represented by last out stakes winner Andrea (Thousand Words), SW Luvumorgan (Union Rags) and recent Iowa Oaks third Paradise City (McKinzie). Searching for her first start of the season, Vodka With a Twist (Thousand Words) returns off a sixth-place finish when trying the turf at Ellis in the Pea Patch Stakes July 6. Runner-up in a pair of Grade I tests at two, the Phil D'Amato-trained filly ran second behind Kilwin (Twirling Candy) in the seven-furlong Leslie's Lady Overnight Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 8. Luis Saez will ride the filly for the first time.

    • But it is interesting, betting figures always have been.
    • Why would ENTAIN do that?  They have no legislated obligation to do that at the micro-level.  Their responsibility is to their shareholders.  What's more why do you actually need to know?  I gather given your negativity that you are not even a shareholder.

    • What Geelong Races Where Geelong Racecourse – 99 Breakwater Rd, Breakwater VIC 3219 When Friday, August 22, 2025 First Race 1:30pm AEST Visit Dabble The Geelong racecourse is the destination for a competitive eight-race meeting on Friday afternoon. With clear skies and a track already rated a Good 4 at the time of acceptances, there will be no excuses for fancied runners throughout the program, especially with rail out 3m from the 1800m-400m and true the remainder. The first race at Geelong is set to go at 1:30pm AEST. Best Bet at Geelong: Tournelle Tournelle has been knocking on the door all prep and finds a very winnable 0–64. She maps to land midfield with cover from barrier six, and Jamie Mott sticking is a tick for a mare who’s been game in defeat at 1600m. Back to the 1512m looks perfect now, and she gets a nice setup with a couple of genuine on-pacers to cart her into the race before the bend. If Tournelle brings anything close to her best, this is her day to put one away. Best Bet Race 5 – #5 Tournelle (6) 4yo Mare | T: Anthony & Sam Freedman | J: Jamie Mott (58.5kg) Next Best at Geelong: Imamanzor Imamanzor brings solid city form back to country grade and should relish 1715m around Geelong. He was a brave third at Murray Bridge last start and boxed on well in a $150k Flemington 1700m the start prior, so this BM64 is a downshift. From barrier four he can park in the first four, control his rhythm, and use his turn of foot early in the home straight. Declan Bates knows him well, and on a Good 4 his two wins at 1300–1400m plus recent 1600–1700m efforts read well. With even luck, Imamanzor looks hard to hold out. Next Best Race 6 – #1 Imamanzor (4) 4yo Gelding | T: Symon Wilde | J: Declan Bates (60.5kg) Best Value at Geelong: Alpinova Alpinova is absolutely humming and can spear for a hat trick despite the wide alley. She’s fresh off back-to-back wins at Mildura (1209m) and Warracknabeal (1205m), both with strong last 600m splits and the latest with authority through the line. Up to BM58 suits; the draw (14) likely forces Koby Jennings to ride patiently and blend into it three-wide with cover — ideal at Geelong’s long run home at the 1200m. With her current confidence and proven record at the trip, she profiles as a juicy each-way play with horse racing bookmakers. Best Value Race 8 – #14 Alpinova (14) 6yo Mare | T: Brooke Verwey-Mitchell | J: Koby Jennings (58.5kg) Friday quaddie tips for Geelong Geelong quadrella selections Friday, August 22, 2025 5-10-11 1-2 1-2-3-11 4-6-10-14 Horse racing tips View the full article
