was the Caseys who eventually
emerged with the prize money. A
Huevo tested positive for
clenbuterol, a drug designed to en-
hance a horse's breathing, and he
was subsequently disqualified fol-
lowing a lengthy battle.
Since Rebellious Dreamer,
owned and trained by John Casey,
whose Coin Collector was one of
the best West Virginia-breds of the
early '908, was second that day, he
was placed first and officially
handed the top prize of $90,000.
This year, Rebellious Dreamer is
the future book favorite to capture
the Classic and the $125,000
winner's share on the track, hav-
ing recently won a restricted

other two-time champ named Tay-

A Huevo and Ardent Arab defeated
the Caseys in the Classic during
the 1990s at Charles Town.
Cavada, the only filly to win the
Classic, won the race the only year
it was contested at Mountaineer
Park.
Speaking of Cavada, the track
named a race in her honor several
years ago, and the $75,000 event
for fillies and mares is contested
one night before the big day. Last
year, It's Binn Too Long, en route
to a perfect horse of the year cam-
paign for James and Eleanor
Casey, captured Cavada and she
will likely point for the race again
this year.
It's Binn Too Long has garnered
a great deal of respect among local
racegoers, and she is often com-
pared to local distaffers Cavada,
Noble's Honey and Rachers Turn.
While Cavada won the Classic at
Mountaineer Park, Noble's Honey
finished second in the Classic twice
in consecutive years to the same
horse - Coin Collector. Rachers
Turn, owned, bred and trained by
John McKee, was simply one of the
most talented ladies to compete lo-
cally in the '90s.
The two-year-olds will also be
on display Classics Day in a pair of
events. Freshman fillies will com-
pete in the 4 1/2-furlong Southern
States, while the colts will battle
for supremacy in the 6 1/2-furlong
Vincent Moscarelli Memorial.
Each event will now be worth
$75,000, with the winner taking
home $40,000.
The Moscarelli is named for one
of the state's most popular train-
ers, who was also responsible for
the two most talented West Vir-
ginia-breds of all time, Afternoon
Deelites and Soul Of The Matter.
This year, the track has also
added the $50,000 Dash For Cash,
a 4 1/2-furlong event restricted to
ance events and $16,000 claimers,
will have the chance to compete for
a $30,000 winner's share and the
bragging rights as the fastest
state-bred in the land.
While the emphasis Classics
day is on the state-breds, Charles
Town will also offer three open
stakes, the Governor's Cup, the
Sam Palumbo and the Robert Hil-
ton. Last year, Citiworld splashed
through the slop to capture the
Governor's Cup, and his recent vic-
tory in a 4 1/2-furlong sprint at
Mountaineer Park indicates he
should be poised to defend his title.
