Check out my Wednesday (10-29-25) Penn National Race 4 analysis below.

Scratches:
Race 4 – #1 Bolt of Aurum, #4 Party At Sam’s

PEN 4 (OC-40k, 3&up, 6f dirt) – Post Time  7:12 PM ET – Updated tickets after scratches
Primary – #7 DR. STEVE, #6 Quick Tempo
Secondary – #8 Yahoo Omar

Horse Comments:

#7 Dr. Steve (3-1) finished in the top three in nine of his last ten starts. The 4-time local winner enjoys this distance (7 3-3-0) and I like his early-pressing versatility.   

#6 Quick Tempo (5-2) wired the field in seven of his last ten starts. He exits a turf sprint win at CNL and has struck nine times at this distance, and he easily won his lone local start in February. 

#8 Yahoo Omar (5-1) is a consistent gelding with top three finishes in eight of his last ten outings. He has won at this oval before and captured a third of his eighteen starts. 

Wagers:
