Super Sunday - Does The Streak Survive?

And to conclude this weekend, we have Super Sunday at Chester Downs which features The Colonial Trot, The Valley Forge, and of course, The Battle of The Brandywine.  What I love about Super Sunday, is this is the way major stakes should be run.  The top money earners go for the big money, with the others going in sizable consolations.  No questionable eliminations.  Not only is it a great way to decide who races in these stakes, it makes the handicapping more challenging to allow the astute gambler to get some great value.

The big question of Super Sunday is will See You At Peelers' win streak be snapped at 21 or will it continue on?  Some will say there is no question she will move forward to win number 22, but the weather forecast does call for afternoon thunderstorms on Sunday.  If you remember, See You At Peelers was on the track at Tioga last week with two warm-up miles and then was scratched out due to the off surface and Peelers was reported not to be handling the surface that well.  Well, last week they were racing for $22,000 which is no big deal, but with the Valley Forge going for $350,000, it will be a lot harder to scratch out of a lucrative race like that.  Maybe the off track is Peelers' achilles heel.  We will see.

If you are looking for my selections for Saturday's card, you will find they were posted yesterday.  Without further ado, here are my selections for Sunday at Chester Downs.  Post time will be at 2:00PM on Sunday and there are some guaranteed pools.  Where appropriate, I will list those.
