Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: PREMIER JOY A
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: PROPHET BLUE CHIP
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: BEEBEETEE
Odds: 4-1

Race 1 Comments: FOO FIGHTER N beat Open Company in last after racing consistently well in amateur events like this prior. PREMIER JOY A paced some fast miles at The Meadowlands in amateur events after wiring similar here back in early June with today’s pilot. Looks tough to beat from the pole.

Race 2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: P C FOREIGN AFFAIR*
Odds: 6-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SOUTHWIND LARADO
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: STARRYSTARRYNIGHT
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: AL’S SPIRIT
Odds: 4-1

Race 2 Comments: P C FOREIGN AFFAIR had even trot in amateur event at Historic Track last time. 10-year-old retains owner in the bike but hasn’t been this low in a long while and was actually competitive against Open trotters this past winter. Looks worth a shot from this spot.

Race 3

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: LEAPING LEGEND**
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: HANNAH’S MATCH
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 7

Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: THE GOGESTER
Odds: 7-2

Race 3 Comments: LEARNING LEGEND comes off a much improved uncovered try from 7-hole when dropped to this level last time. Gets the rail and looks hard to beat at short price.
