Race 1 Comments: ATTA BOY DAN 14-year-old millionaire left and was parked from 9-hole past a :28.1 quarter, got to the pylons, chased a quick pace and unleashed an identical :28.1 final panel to earn game win. Faces slightly tougher but moves inside and is hard to go against.

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: ELECTROCUTED
Odds: 8-1

Race 2 Comments: EARLYBIRD SPECIAL battled gamely uncovered off a slow early pace, took the lead but couldn’t hold off sharp winner who had perfect trip behind top one. Can turn the tables on that one from this spot. SCOTLYNN SEELSTER outkicked top one last time and remains razor sharp but draws tougher slot and will need best.
