Check out my Monday (3-30-26) Mahoning Valley Race Course Race 4 analysis below.

MVR 4 (Alw-26.4k, 6f dirt) – Post Time 1:39 PM ET
Primary – #5 BIG GINGER, #1 Absolute Miracle
Secondary – #3 Popstyle, #4 Az We Speak

Horse Comments:

#5 Big Ginger (7-2) exits back-to-back local claiming sprint wins. The 8-year-old mare was sharp on the rise in a smart $15k victory as the favorite March 10. She figures to impact the pace for a productive jockey-trainer team. 

#1 Absolute Miracle (2-1) had her 7-race exacta streak come to an end when finishing last of 7 as the favorite in a local route in the mud March 4. She turns back in distance and can stalk or close.

#3 Popstyle (3-1) was part of the trifecta in her last five starts. She exits a stalk and pounce victory in a local sprint.

#4 Az We Speak (5-1) turns back in her third start off a layoff and she has a good local record (8 4-2-0). All five of her wins were at 6f.

Wagers:
