Charles Town Races 🏇🏾// Thurs., Sept. 18, 2025

Happy Thursday & National Cheeseburger Day! 🍔

If you woke up today thinking...."I'm really looking forward to the start of week three of this NFL season with the 2-0 Bills hosting the 0-2 Dolphins, but wished the cappers over at Turtle Sports would provide some 🏇picks at a track running during the game - well - you're in luck. If you also thought, "If they do, I hope they run the 8-race card at Charles Town Races in beautiful Charles Town, West Virginia." Well - you're 2 for 2. And if you also thought...."Hey, isn't the State Bird of West Virginia the Northern Cardinal"?

Well - now you're just showin' off.

While it's been some time since we've capped this track, we always enjoyed having one of the TVs at our Headquarters (aka the Glass Turtle in Roseville, CA) tuned to the horse races as we watch Thursday Night Football. First Post at Charles Town is about an hour before kick-off, so you'll have a chance to kick start your winning ways and roll that into your week 3 NFL bets. Should the Dolphins get blown out by the Bills, you may want to place that bet on Dolphins Head Coach Mike McDaniel for the first coach to be fired this season. Enjoy the races, the game, a cheeseburger (remember to tip your servers) & some fun "This day in Sports" facts..........
