Colonial Downs Picks & Predictions — June 29, 2026

Boffo Kid is the value angle here at 10/1 on the morning line, posting a 76.88 rating that slots in solidly behind our top pick. Trainer Danielle Hodsdon sends Freddie Procter out with a 10% career win rate as a foundation — nothing flashy, but enough to suggest this horse is capable of hitting the board. If the pace gets honest early, Boffo Kid could be picking up pieces late at a price worth playing in the exotics.

Regal Kingdom draws in at 5/2 with a 74.13 rating and the best average speed figure in the race at 55 — that combination of class and raw pace numbers is hard to ignore. Harrison Beswick rides for the always-active Keri Brion barn, which keeps runners sharp and ready. The 17% career win rate adds credibility, and with that speed figure edge, Regal Kingdom should at minimum be in the mix at the top of the stretch.

Onrush checks in at 71.25 on our ratings — second-best in this race — and goes postward at 6/1 for trainer Jack Fisher with Freddie Procter aboard. A winless career record isn't alarming in a maiden field, and that rating suggests the pieces are there for a breakout performance. The place price at 6/1 could have some real overlay value if the favorite does what she's supposed to do.

Crystal Hill sits at 65.73 on TrackWiz ratings and draws post 7 with Jamie Bargary for trainer Jack Fisher — the same barn that also runs Onrush in this spot, which tells you Fisher is confident in his chances at the top of the board. Crystal Hill is another winless maiden, but the 8/1 morning line represents a decent price on a horse that clocks in third on our ratings. Worth threading into trifecta wheels.

Roundtop rates at 79.23 — a comfortable second in this field — and comes in at 9/2 for trainer Keri Brion with Stephen Mulqueen in the irons. A 12% career win rate is modest but present, and Brion's operation regularly places horses well even when they don't win outright. If Doctor Davis handles things up front, Roundtop looks well-positioned to chase down a place spot at an appealing price.

Coaches Meeting brings a 17% career win rate to the table — second-highest in this field — and a solid 64.92 rating that earns a legit look at 4/1. Trainer Katherine S. Neilson and Jack Power have put together a horse that shows up consistently, and at the 2 1/4-mile turf distance, that kind of seasoned winner can find a way to hang around for a piece. A useful show ticket and a key trifecta inclusion.

Bright Eyed Eagle is a fascinating angle at 8/1 on the morning line — a 75.63 TrackWiz rating with no published speed figure and an 11% career win rate under trainer Katherine S. Neilson. Jamie Bargary picks up the mount, and when a horse without recent speed figures surfaces in a field at this price, there's often a form cycle that's not fully visible on paper. Worth including in exacta and trifecta plays as a live longer price.

Super Snoop posts a 74.65 rating and owns a 23% career win rate — the second-best winning percentage in the field — at 5/1 for trainer Thomas Garner and Evan Dwan. The average speed figure of 51 is the lowest among horses who have one, but the raw winning history says this horse competes. At 5/1 in a wide-open spot, a show play or a place-and-show wheel makes some sense.

Aspenite rates at 76.71 — a solid second in this field — and posts the highest average speed figure in the race at 55, which is a real edge over the field in a turf route where pace and stamina matter. Trainer Neil R. Morris and Graham Watters combine at 3/1, and a 13% career win rate gives this horse credible form. If Salted Carmel gets the job done in front, Aspenite looks like the natural horse to chase it home.

Whiskeyinthejaro is a show value play at 8/1 with a 17% career win rate and a 69.42 TrackWiz rating that puts it solidly in the top half of this field. Trainer Mark Beecher sends Dan Nevin out with a horse that has a published speed figure of 50 — lower than some rivals — but the winning history and the price make this worth threading into trifectas. At 8/1, you're getting compensated for the risk.

Anoint rates at 70.08 — third in this field — and goes postward at 8/1 for trainer Keri Brion with Stephen Mulqueen up, a combo that consistently delivers at Colonial. The 20% career win rate is solid for stakes company, and at 8/1, the overlay potential is real given how closely bunched the top of this field is on our numbers. An excellent place target and a must-include in any exotic structure.

Fiery Dart is the live longshot play of the race at 15/1 on the morning line, posting a 69.58 TrackWiz rating and a 33% career win rate that matches some of the more prominent names in this field. Trainer Keri Brion doubles up here with Harrison Beswick aboard — when a barn throws two runners into a stakes, they usually believe in both. The price on Fiery Dart relative to the rating and win percentage is genuinely attractive for show and trifecta plays.

The Jackal is the value gem of this race at 20/1 on the morning line — a 62.29 TrackWiz rating and a 20% career win rate from trainer Jack Fisher with Jamie Bargary up, a sharp combination. The average speed figure of 52 is workable in this field, and the price on a horse that rates this close to the top of the board is a genuine overlay. In a 13-horse field where the pace will be complex, a closer with some pace figure and proven winning form at 20/1 is where you want your exotic money.

Bee Well rates at 61.3 — just a hair behind The Jackal — and also goes postward at 20/1 for trainer Archibald J. Kingsley Jr. with Freddie Procter in the irons. A 12% career win rate is modest but present, and in a field this deep, show prices on 20/1 shots with legitimate ratings can pay very well. Procter is an active rider on this card and will keep this one competitive throughout — a worthwhile show play and trifecta inclusion to close out the card.
