Frank Carulli | Colonial Downs | Race 8 | Colonial Downs | 5:01 pm ET

BEREN has 6F stakes victories at four tracks in his last 11 starts and the only time he didn’t finish first or second sprinting in that span was against champion Jackie’s Warrior. He has speed, he is game and he’s too good to pass up at 6-1 in the $150,000 Chesapeake Stakes. Bet to win and place. Picks 10-4-9.
