Laurel Park 2025 Stakes Plays

Saturday’s (11-29-25) stakes picks from Laurel Park (Races 7, 8).

LRL 7 (Safely Kept, 3yo fillies, 7f dirt) – Post Time 3:02 PM ET
Primary – #4 ONYX TEN, #8 Zip Start
Secondary – #7 Grayson’s Girl, #1 Tap Dancin Girl

Wagers: #4 to win, Exacta box 4-8, Trifecta 4-8/1-4-7-8/1-4-7-8

Comments: #4 Onyx Ten (4-1) captured four of her last five starts including the Maryland Million Distaff Oct. 11 (show finisher Foxy Junior next-out winner). The 3-time local winner is 2-for-3 at this distance and she is a logical contender for the productive Hazlewood/Capuano team. #8 Zip Start (5-1) is a sharp Charles Town shipper with a 5-for-9 record. She is 4-for-5 at this distance. #7 Grayson’s Girl (12-1) was part of the trifecta in all eight starts. She ran well in all five local starts (2 wins). #1 Tap Dancin Cowgirl (20-1) won both starts in PA and she owns running style versatility.

LRL 8 (City of Laurel, 3yo, 7f dirt) – Post Time 3:33 PM ET
Primary – #4 OTTER MISCHIEF, #6 Pay Billy
Secondary – #7 Pasaline, #2 Spotafreeone

Wagers: #4 to win, Exacta box 4-6, Trifecta 4-6/2-4-6-7/2-4-6-7

Comments: #4 Otter Mischief (7-2) was part of the exacta in his last five starts and he won three of those races. His number jumped up in a 10-length romp at Parx last time. #6 Pay Billy (10-1) makes his first start since finishing up the track in the G1 Preakness. He is 4-for-6 with a runner-up finish at Laurel and he sports back-to-back Delaware bullets for this. #7 Pasaline (12-1) fired trifecta shots in eight of nine starts. The new gelding hit the board in all three starts at seven panels and he missed by a neck in two of those races. #2 Spotafreeone (6-1) landed the place in his bow and won his next five starts, and all of those races were at Charles Town. He is 3-for-3 at 7f and his numbers are on the rise.
