Check out my Monday (6-16-25) Thistledown Race 7 analysis below.

TND 7 (Alw-35.8k/2L, Ohio-bred 3&up, 8 furlongs dirt) – Post Time 3:50 PM ET
Primary – #1 FULL SPECTRUM, #2 Sgt York
Secondary – #3 Kickstart

Horse Comments:

#1 Full Spectrum (2-1) stalked the pace from the inside post and missed the place by a neck at 5.5f on May 12. He stretches back out for strong third start after a layoff trainer James Jackson. He might be the one to catch from the inside post and  front runners captured six of the last ten races at this distance.  

#2 Sgt York (9-5) rallied to finish a clear second in a similar local sprint on May 29. Shane Myers has good stats with his third after a layoff starters and he owns running style versatility. 

#3 Kickstart (7-2) was best of the rest in third as a 46-1 outsider in the same race Sgt York exits. This is his first route start and he looks best of the rest.
