Willa On The Move Stakes – Race 6 at Laurel – Post Time 2:23 PM Eastern

Top Win Contenders: Takethemoneyhoney, Alani, Grammy Girl
Other contenders for second in exactas: Onyx Ten, Sultry Lass, Passage East

Takethemoneyhoney won four of five career starts, and missed a nose in the other. She comes from a six-month layoff, but that is not a concern, as she won her first career start in July 2024 and last won her second career start in February after a five-month layoff. She leads in all six races at the second call (whether at the half mile in sprints, and at the three-quarter miles in routes). She has consistently earned 95 to 100 Equibase Speed Figures in her last three, including winning the Serenas Song Stakes, a similar non-graded. This filly put in an excellent five-furlong workout; her recent best of 59.4 shows she is still ready to win like she did in May.

Alani is trained by Michael Moore, also trained by Takethemoneyhoney, and will have higher odds of the pair because she won in five races and finished second in four of 11 races in 2025. She also won a stakes winner, the Love Sign Stakes in July, and she missed by a neck in the Endive Stakes on September 27. She has run as fast as her stablemate, earning 94 to 102 figures. She has good speed and should get a second or third early position behind Takethemoneyhoney. She is a strong contender at a better price than the uncoupled pair.

Grammy Girl is likely to be the second favorite starting odds at around 3 to 1, or 2 to 1 from Takethemoneyhoney, and 5 to 1 for Alani. Grammy Girl changed trainers to Saffie Joseph, Jr., in July. His first three recent races with her were excellent. The best of the three was a win one race second back on October 18, where she earned a 97 figure, and her last race by a head. She will be in fourth early, watching the early pace, and if there, she may get the win.

Handicapper Picks:

Win: Takethemoneyhoney and Alani are considered a win bet at fair odds at 5 to 2 odds or higher.
Grammy Girl can be considered for a win bet at 7 to 2 odds or higher.

Dave’s Friend Stakes – Race 7 at Laurel – Post Time 2:52 PM Eastern

Top Win Contender: Petingas Twin
Also, other win contenders: Subrogate, Maximus Meridius, and Prince Jericho

Suppose Petingas Twin wins this race as easily as he did on October 19. That race at Laurel at this six-furlong distance, as he made a big four-path move from third to win easily. He earned a 107 Equibase Speed Figure, which was the best last race of any in this field, and although he lost eight races since July 2024, he won three in a row, with one of them earning a 111 figure. He has finished second in seven races and won five of 19 career starts, so if he even does win, he has a strong probability of being second on exactas.

Subrogate won a similar De Francis Memorial Stakes on June 28, also at Laurel, over six furlongs and earned a 100 figure. He earned 108 and 106 figures in races last year in 2024, and his most recent race finished fourth in a field of eight horses in the Grade 3 Bold Ruler Stakes on November 2, so he has a chance at this lower-class race.

Maximus Meridius has a similar career as Petingas Twin, where he has six wins and six second place finishes in 19 races. He has run faster than the others, earning a stronger 112 figure winning the Toboggan Stakes in February, and is another win contender, as well for exactas.

Prince Jericho is another horse with a history of second-place finishes (7) and wins (7), with similar figures of 102 to 112 this year. But he starts this race as 5 to 2 the favorite, and he has no greater probability than Subrogate and Maximus Meridius. He finished a third in the General George Stakes race in February, earning a 102 figure. He is another horse contender to use in exactas, top in second.

Handicapper Picks:

Win: Petingas Twin to win at 2 to 1 or higher odds.
Subrogate, Maximus Meridius, Prince Jericho can be considered for wins bet at fair odds at 3 to 1.
