Check out my Wednesday (2-18-26) Turfway Park Race 9 analysis below.

Scratches (race 9): #2 Where Ya At Vince, #5 The Great Oz

Updated Tickets After Scratches:

TP 9 (OC-40k/2x, 3&up, 6f all-weather) – Post Time  9:55 PM ET
Primary – #9 MY OWN, #7 Swill
Secondary – #4 Smokey Smokey

Horse Comments:

#9 My Own (5-2) added blinkers, dueled, and landed the place behind G T Five Hundred on Dec. 5 and the latter clicked right back twice since including the Forego on Feb. 13. This one romped by 6 lengths in a local entry level allowance affair on Jan. 8 and runner-up Dr. Saikali returned to win Feb. 5. He is 2-for-3 with a runner-up finish at TP and should be forwardly placed from the outside post for a productive jockey-trainer team.

#7 Swill (6-1) moved to the William Morey barn and pressed and scored by 1 3/4 lengths in a fast local sprint as the favorite Jan. 21. He can compete for the win if he runs two alike.

#4 Smokey Smokey (4-1) hit the board in his last four sprint starts. He can stalk or close and should get pace to chase. I will key him underneath.

Wagers:
