Horse Name: ROCKIN FURY
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: FLTING TEMPTATION
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BELLVILLE
Odds: 3-1
Race 1 Comments: In a field that’s combined for an 0 for 160 lifetime resume, STROLL PATROL has had only 4 career starts and lost by a combined 86 lengths but those miles were paced in 1:56 or less at Vernon. Draws outside but may prove fastest if he can negotiate the small tracks for strong conditioner. ROCKIN FURY always finds a way to lose but that will end someday, maybe today.

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: AMERICAN VISION
Odds: 10-1
Race 2 Comments: DOCTOR BUTCH winner of a million and a half lifetime exits the amateur races where surprisingly he wasn’t close and gets the pole and Bruce at a level he’s handled many times in the past.

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: SOUTHWIND PINACLDA

Race 3 Comments: RAINBOW RISING showed improved speed over sloppy track in local debut and first in Lounsbury barn. Mare isn’t much but can only improve off that effort.

Odds: 5-1
Race 4 Comments: ITSONEOFTHOSE had trot on both ends last time, narrowed in gamely with :29.3 kicker to miss by a nose against tougher. Meets slightly lesser here and moves inside.

Race 5 Comments: SEEUINNASHVILLE A chased musch the best shipper home for place in Catskill debut. Gets a better spot and can prove best. SARATOGA BLUE CHIP has had tough trips chasing fast miles at Pocono and The Meadowlands in recent. Ships to The Catskills, joins barn that’s winning at 37% and looks to have a big shot here.
