Race 1 Comments: ALWAYS B ROYALTY drops out of amateur events where she had even pace through :57.3 final half last time. Mare beat many of these back in March and should be well placed riding live cover in race full of early speed.

Race 5 Comments: MARTY MONKHOUSER A returns from Yonkers where he chased sub 1:55 mile last time after blowing out a similar field to today’s two back in The Catskills. Tough old senior citizen has enjoyed a solid year in his final season of racing and looks best in amateur event.
