Races of the Week

Last week, After Market upset Lava Man in the Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap, paying $6.20 to win, $3.20 to place, and $2.60 to show. Christmas Kid finished third in the Acorn Stakes, paying $2.60 to show. Hard Spun finished fourth in the Belmont Stakes.

Today, the Daily Racing Form's races of the week are the Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs and the Colonial Turf Cup at Colonial Downs.

In the Foster, I'll bet Flashy Bull. Flashy Bull has won three in a row and his recent Beyer figures are competitive with the likely favorites in this field. The Form provides free past performances.

I'll go with Summer Doldrums in the Turf Cup. Last month at Belmont Park he finished a nose behind morning-line second choice Strike a Deal. That was Summer Doldrums' first start on the turf. His Tomlinson rating indicates that he should like today's distance. The Form provides free past performances.
