Plenty of racing action took place throughout the Mid-Atlantic this past week. Here’s a look at the “three stars” of each track:FIRST STAR: OTAGO. The Cliff Hanger Stakes for older males at 1 1/16 miles on grass headlined the Saturday card at Monmouth Park. Axel Concepcion, a recent addition to the Monmouth riding colony, immediately acquainted himself with the track with a half-length victory with Otago.

As per usual, there's a great late pick 5 sequence at Laurel Park on Saturday. It starts in race 5, and @TheRacingBiz and I have it covered below: https://t.co/V7GC9ZKuQ4

That's the horse who won a maiden race at 67/1 on the Black-Eyed Susan day undercard.
Cadeau d'Argent ($12) showed true grit in running down Urban Symphony to take the fourth @LaurelPark for @niallsaville and @tyler_conner519. @PA_PHBA gelding by Gift Box (@LanesEndFarms) is now 2 for 2. 1-6-4-5 official.
