Horse Number: 7

Race 1 Comments: AMERICAN VISION gets first decent post in a while for barn that’s been heating up in recent weeks and may try leaving with little speed inside of him.

Horse Number: 6

Race 2 Comments: FATHER FRED had brutal trip from 8-hole, parked the entire mile before expiring. Takes sharp drop and gets the rail off that mile and looks hard to beat.

Horse Name: BEAST MODE
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: ZONE BLITZ
Odds: 3-1

Race 4 Comments: COOKIEMANSMANHARDT made two moves from 8-hole at Freehold last time. 5-year-old isn’t much, but neither are any in here, ships to The Catskills for strong barn, finds a good spot and should be able to control the basement level.

Race 5 Comments: ATTA BOY DAN lacked a late rally after chasing fast pace from the pocket at Pocono last time. Returns to The Catskills where he was chasing far tougher in last visit back in September and finds a good spot.
