Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: ALL BETS DOWN
Odds: 4-1
Race 1 Comments: ROCKIN FURY narrowed in gamely, pacing :29.2 final quarter to just miss in local debut. Seems set for diploma against field that’s 0 for 67 lifetime.

Horse Name: TOLLY-HO
Odds: 4-1
Race 2 Comments: BETTOR’S DREAM has been chasing scorching miles at Yonkers in all recent starts. Ships to The Catskills at a level he should handle and gets the nod.
Race 3
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: CHASING SHADOWS*
Odds: 5-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: DREAMING SILLY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: LITTLE LIZA JANE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SAMOSA HANOVER
Odds: 4-1
Race 3 Comments: CHASING SHADOWS lacked a rally in Catskill debut and was claimed by barn that usually improves them. Worth a shot at decent price.
Race 4
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: CRAZY COOL
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: WIGGLE MY COOKIE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6

Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: REAL LADY SADIE
Odds: 9-2
Race 4 Comments: CRAZY COOL had 7-hole and a tough overland trip before weakening in 1:55.3 mile. Mare has shown some ability from inside posts where she lands this afternoon and may try the top.
Race 5
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: COME ZOOM WITH ME
Odds: 10-1
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: LIZ LIZZIE
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: FAIR WARNING
Odds: 8-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: MAMA DONNA
Odds: 5-2
Race 5 Comments: This one is anyone’s guess and I’ll go with a price in COME ZOOM WITH ME who has never been on the board in 14 career starts and did little in Catskill qualifier last time but did pace evenly in 1:54.4 Pocono qualifier back in June and paced an individual 1:55.2 mile faster than any of these could ever hope to pace. Couldn’t find a weaker field and has Bruce doing the steering. Bombs away!
Race 6
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: ANDREIOS KARDIA
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: COMANCHE CREEK
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 2

Horse Name: J B MAUNEY N
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: CAMWOOD
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: AIR GUITAR
Odds: 4-1
Race 7 Comments: SNOWBALL’S ROMEO Massachusetts invader has raced well in fast miles most of the year and toured Saratoga’s half-miler in 1:55.3 back in June. Takes on the best pacers on the grounds for barn that’s winning at 34% and gets the upset call but will need best.
