Wild Warrior ($7.20) finally gets clear and closes fast under @hazlewood1912 to win the $100,000 Private Terms at @LaurelPark. Gary Capuano entered three in the field and finally gets a big effort from this 3YO, quickly becoming the two-turn specialist in his barn.

Miss Fulton Gal (3-1) wins a three-horse photo in the $100,000 Beyond the Wire at @LaurelPark. Strange race in which 8-1 shot Some Ride and favorite Peach Tie were both clear but seemed to wilt near the wire. Raul Mena aboard for the persistent winning ride for Mike Gorham.

Red Zone Runner confirmed to be pointing to the Grade 2 Wood Memorial on April 4. Colt completed a five-furlong work at @parxracing in 1:01.48. Hugo Padilla said he “checked all the boxes,” and @SanchezMychel offered the trainer an encouraging report from the saddle. It’s a go.

Trainer Hugo Padilla says that @parxracing-based colt Red Zone Runner will work five furlongs tomorrow morning. That workout will determine whether Padilla will point to the Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 4.

Beyer Speed Figures from @ColonialDowns Saturday Incredibolt in Virginia Derby: 88 Bottle of Rouge in Virginia Oaks: 87 Tour Player in Royal New Kent: 93 Chasten in Sandy Bottom 1: 95 Eunomia in Sandy Bottom 2: 87 Ezum in 19 1/2-length MSW win: 87

Incredibolt (6-1) bounces back with a huge effort to win the $500,000 Virginia Derby. Riley Mott colt was the only graded stakes winner in the field but had plenty to prove after a no-show in the Grade 3 Holy Bull. Made up for all under @jaimetorresjcky at @ColonialDowns.

Bottle of Rouge (4-5) racks up more Kentucky Oaks points for Bob Baffert, kicking clear of Dazzling Dame to win the $250,000 Virginia Oaks at @ColonialDowns. Only 37.5 points to the winner in the five-horse field, but still a nice gain. Fifth win today for Flavien Prat.

Eunomia (3-5) kicks clear with ease to win the second division of the $100,000 Sandy Bottom at @colonialdowns. 4YO filly proved much the best under Flavien Prat in his fourth victory of the day. Second win for @saffiejosephjr.

Chasten (7-2) takes down Her Laugh and Passage East in a three-horse thriller in the first division of the $100,000 Sandy Bottom at @ColonialDowns. @cristiantorr64 fearless between horses late in another win for @bradcoxracing. Would have been third of the day for Irad Ortiz Jr.

Tour Player (7-2) gets a picture-perfect trip to win the $100,000 Royal New Kent at @ColonialDowns. 5YO’s second start for trainer Whit Beckman is a winning one. Third win in VA today for Flavien Prat, who could not have stalked better from third.

Also, following an inquiry in the fourth, Still Sober was declared a non-starter after getting caught on his starter, ducking left out of the gate and effectively being eliminated from contention.

Ezum ($4) looks… better in his second start for @bradcoxracing. 3YO colt ran off at will in the fourth at @ColonialDowns, purely dominant effort under Flavien Prat in a $75,000 maiden special weight. Would have been Irad Ortiz Jr.’s second winner today, instead Prat’s second.

P.S. Opening quarter-mile in 21.84 seconds for $30,000 maidens. Might want to look out later on this card.

Overspent (7-2) blows by in the third at @ColonialDowns, a state-restricted maiden claimer. @SanchezMychel takes the mount for Irad Ortiz and works out the right trip after a scrambling start. Trainer Mark Shuman was preparing for a live one.

As the Bell Toles (5-2) leads every step in the second at @ColonialDowns, a state-restricted maiden claimer. @JevianToledo gets every bit out of a front-running trip on the 4YO filly for @BTRracingstable, holding off 6-1 outsider Ithadtobeblu.

Sixth time’s the charm for 3YO gelding Ramajay (6-5), who kicks clear to win the opener on Virginia Derby Day at @ColonialDowns, a $75,000 maiden special weight. Flavien Prat gets the job done on the very short second choice for @SaffieJosephJr.

Sheldon Russell, who was forced out of the Stellar Wind Handicap with an injury in the starting gate yesterday, is on track to ride at @ColonialDowns Saturday. He will ride Epic Desire in the Virginia Derby.

Irad Ortiz changes @colonialdowns R3: M. Sanchez on Overspent (Shuman) R4: F. Prat on Ezum (Cox) R5: J. Velazquez on Dragoon Guard (Cox) R6: C. Torres on Chasten (Cox) R8: C. Torres on Hit Parade (Cox) R9: J. Leparoux on Confessional (Cox) R10: X. Perez on Freedom Road (Sillaman)

"Conquerthosewecan wires Stellar Wind rivals after last-second jockey switch" @DRFMoquin recaps the $150,000 Stellar Wind Handicap at Colonial on Friday. @ColonialDowns drf.com/news/conquerth…

Conquerthosewecan ($12.60) finally gets her stakes win for @BTRracingstable, holding off tenacious rail runner Sporting Lady to win the $150,000 Stellar Wind Handicap at @ColonialDowns. @jaimetorresjcky takes the mount. 4YO filly has now run the two best races of her life in VA.
