Races of the Week and Ohio Stakes Selections

My selection in the Pennsylvania Derby, Equibase's race of the week, is Zanjero. Zanjero seems to like a mile and an eighth, and is coming off of two consecutive triple-digit Beyer figures. Equibase provides free past performances.

In the Cradle Stakes at River Downs, I'll bet Tizthemaninthemoon. Tizthemaninthemoon defeated morning-line favorite Old Man Buck at Ellis Park last month. Brisnet.com provides free past performances, via Ken McPeek.

In the Governor's Buckeye Cup, I'll bet Pyrite Personal. In his last start, Pyrite Personal won the Cleveland Gold Cup, defeating Pay the Man by 5 lengths. Pay the Man was extremely impressive on Saturday in the Rose DeBartolo Memorial Handicap on Saturday, defeating graded stakes winner Cryptoquip by 11 1/2 lengths. Thistledown provides free past performances for all Governor's Buckeye Cup nominees. Equibase provides entries.
