Races of the Week

Last week, Tiago won the Swaps Stakes, paying $4.00 to win, $2.60 to place, and $2.10 to show. Peak Maria's Way finished fourth in the Delaware Handicap.

This week, the Daily Racing Form's races of the week are the Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs and the San Diego Handicap at Del Mar.

In the Virginia Derby, I'll box a Strike a Deal-Summer Doldrums exacta. Strike a Deal and Summer Doldrums both have run well on the turf course at Colonial, and have run 1-2 in their last two starts against each other. The Form provides free past performances.

In the San Diego, I'll go with Buzzards Bay. Buzzards Bay is coming off of two bullet works. He likes a synthetic surface. The Form provides free past performances.
