At Colonial Downs on March 14, Cause Cashin’ with the Wolf walks through Race 8 (Virginia Oaks) and Race 9 (Virginia Derby) with pace-based picks and quick trip scenarios. In the Oaks he prefers #1 Dazzling Dame on top, with longshot #5 Somemunny To Love as a value swing and #3 Bottle of Rogue the morning-line favorite who could control if allowed.

In the Derby he’s hunting value with #7 Incredcredibot atop, #2 Grittiness as the traffic-dependent threat, and #1 Buetane as a likely pace factor. Key tips: picture the trip, watch the tote and earlier races, and see whether speed holds or closers get their chance. It’s Howling Time.
