Why Finding Candy: Steps down in class off a allowance. Jeff Fletcher gets good results with route runners. Proven at this kind of distance.
Value play5 Be Lucky Again Bet at 8-1 or higher

Why Principia: Can use her gate speed to get first run in this sprint. Only one horse in here has run faster lately. Has run well at 5½ furlongs before.

Value play4 Joker Went Wild Bet at 4-1 or higher
The kind of contender the betting tends to underrate. Has improved in each of the last three starts. Ran 2nd last out, beaten a neck.
- 3Top pickMr HooverVilchez M · Scallan Robert S
Why Mr Hoover: On the upswing, getting better every time out. Drops from a $5,000 claimer to $4,000. A 4-time winner at Mountaineer Park.

Mountaineer Park picks FAQ
Are these Mountaineer Park picks free?
Yes. Every Mountaineer Park card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Mountaineer Park picks posted?
Our Mountaineer Park picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Mountaineer Park card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Mountaineer Park picks made?
Every horse is rated through the TracksideProfits handicapping process: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
