Laurel Park 2025 Stakes Plays
Saturday’s (1-18-25) stakes pick from Laurel Park is the Jennings Stakes.
LRL 6 (Jennings, MD-bred, 8f) – Post Time 2:46 PM ET
Primary – #3 BIG BLUE LINE, #9 Speedyness
Secondary – #2 Hittheroadjak
Wagers: #3 to win, Exacta 3/2-9, Exacta 2-9/3, Trifecta key 3/2-9
Comments: #3 Big Blue Line (9-2) competed in the stakes ranks on synthetic and turf in his last three starts, and he is a combined 0-for-5 on those surfaces. He is 4-for-18 with six runner-up finishes on dirt, and he fired exacta shots in all four starts at this distance. He can get involved late if the pace is honest. #9 Speedyness (3-2) is the one to catch from the outside post. He always makes the early lead and is 6-for-13 at LRL and 3-for-3 at one mile. #2 Hittheroadjak (6-1) finished 2 lengths behind Speedyness in a local stakes race at 1 1/16 miles Dec. 21, and he might move up in his third start after a layoff. The early-pressing gelding is 4-for-4 at this distance.
