We are pleased to share selections by Sulky Sam for today’s racing at the Delaware County Fair!
Race 1
#1 Mighty Breeze—gets a huge pilot upgrade here with Wrenn Jr. The chestnut 2 y/o Straight Shooting colt has only 4 races under his belt in his freshman campaign, and the most recent, parked twice at Northfield should serve him well with these.

#4 Dontteasehim—gets just as much of a positive handling switch to Miller as our top selection. The track handicapper has made him the 5/2 m/l favorite in this octet of freshmen diagonal gaiters.
#6 Cheer The Storm—completes the selections here. He seems to have a penchant for running 2nd or 3rd. The pilot switch to the driver listed above’s nephew, Brett Miller, could move him up enough to topple one or both those we rated above him
Race 3
#4 Pinecraft Nellie—gives Wrenn Jr. the opportunity to start the day with a driving triple. There are only 4 going in here for a purse of $37.6k. The balance is unremarkable.
Race 4
#4 Hustling Charley—is...
