Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: TOPVILLE OLIVIA
Odds: 9-2
Race 1 Comments: SAMOSA HANOVER has been chasing sizzling miles in all recent starts. Returns to the level of strong win in the slop using perfect trip to get up on 10/17 and gets slight edge in wide open event to start the card. LITTLE LIZA JANE just failed to hold on in the final step of strong speed try on poor afternoon for front runners. Looks best of the rest.
Race 2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: PEGASSO
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: TIMBERLEA EXPRESS
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 5

Race 2 Comments: PEGASSO gets the rail and is my best guess in extremely weak event.
Race 3
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: GRAND PRIORITY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: STAR ISLAND
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: WAR DAN DELIGHT N
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: MACHLICIOUS
Odds: 4-1
Race 3 Comments: GRAND PRIORITY carved out a lively pace and just failed to hold off pocket sitter in final strides. Looks worth another shot. STAR ISLAND was that pocket sitter who got up in time to beat top one last time. Gets the pole and may be forced to set the pace here.
Race 4
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: DUCK DYNASTY
Odds: 6-5
Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: HE’S SPECIAL
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: NORIEN BAY
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: BANDERAS HANOVER
Odds: 7-2
Race 4 Comments: DUCK DYNASTY was an impressive 12-length winner in second career start and first in The Catskills. Could have a future for connections that seem to be winning with everything they send out. HE’S SPECIAL had useful qualifier here finishing with :28.2 final quarter. Youngster had a solid season on the Iowa-bred stakes circuit and could give top one the most trouble if he can overcome 8-hole.
Race 5
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: COACH CAL
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: LOOKINTOMYEYES
Odds: 5-2

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: BLATANTLY BEST
Odds: 6-1
Race 5 Comments: COACH CAL game old senior citizen grinded out an uncovered win last time when dropped to best level. Tough to go against old timer if he has anything left in the tank.

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: HELTER SKELTER
Odds: 7-2

Horse Name: TAIL HOOK
Odds: 3-1
Race 6 Comments: TUGGIN ON MY HEART speedy 4-year-old comes off three impressive wire to wire scores each faster than the previous, the latest a sparkling 1:54.1 effort. Don’t know if any in here can press him as he shoots for another short priced score.

Race 7 Comments: HESTONS LUCKY CHIP drops out of the Open where he’s chased sub 1:54 miles in last two and usually does well with class relief. Gets the pole and looks like another tough chalk.
