Race 1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: REAL LADY SADIE
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: LOUD BRAZILIAN
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: RAVISHING RUBY
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: LIFE’S ILLUSIONS
Odds: 4-1

Race 1 Comments: REAL LADY SADIE was a brush and crush winner at a similar level last time in sparkling 1:55 mile. Mare has developed a fondness for The Catskills and should come right back. LOUD BRAZILIAN is another who prefers this oval and now returns and gets the rail off no shot tries in 1:53.1 Vernon mile last time and 1:54.2 Yonkers mile two back. Dangerous speed from the pole.

Race 2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CAY’S BLESSING
Odds: 8-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: FOX VALLEY CHARLIZ
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: ALWAYS B MIMI
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: SPECIAL ACHIEVER
Odds: 3-1

Race 2 Comments: CAY’S BLESSING has tailed off a bit since finishing first and second against Open Company here back in early summer. Returns off a speed tightening mile in Maine and looks worth a shot at a price at this slightly reduced level.

Race 3

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: UNBROKEN CIRCLE
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: MISS TRESSA
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: ROCKIN’ ARTSY
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: LITTLE LIZA JANE
Odds: 7-2

Race 3 Comments: In a race loaded with early speed, UNBROKEN CIRCLE beat some of these last time making two moves and brushing to the top turning for home to draw away easily. Finds a better spot and same type of trip may make her a repeater.

Race 4

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: FABRICE HANOVER**
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: GRAND PRIORITY
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SEND IT IN JEROME
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: MACHLICIOUS
Odds: 3-1

Race 4 Comments: Sharp 7-year-old had 8-hole and was far back early, began to move before the half and was slightly impeded, continued to rally pacing 1:25 final three quarters to nail show. Two back was a game first over winner pacing :57 final half to beat this level.

Race 5

Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: HURRIKANEMYSHANNON*
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: LADY WARRIOR
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: ABERDEEN SEELSTER
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: PROUDAMERICANGIRL
Odds: 5-2

Race 5 Comments: HURRIKANEMYSHANNON Tioga shipper has been racing in sharp form through sizzling miles. Ships in for strong barn and, although lacking much half mile experience, appears to have the speed to overcome outside draw if he can negotiate the tight turns.

Race 6

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CREWS HILLTOPPER
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: SOUL TRAIN
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 2

Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: BRILLIANT BOB
Odds: 4-1

Race 7

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CAMWOOD
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: TREVOR ONE
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: J B MAUNEY N
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: VILLIAM
Odds: 7-2

Race 7 Comments: CAMWOOD was parked the mile pushing hot pace and understandably tired. Two back had 8-hole, paced a 1:24.4 final three quarters making up a ton of ground to miss by 2 ¼ lengths although never really close. Classy sort should be blasting from slightly better spot and gets the nod.
