Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: BURNING DESIRE
Odds: 4-1
Race 1 Comments: The opener is an amateur event and SAMMY B HAPPY had even pace against Open Company in early July. Draws outside slot for owner who has won his share of these events and has speed to clear to the top.

Race 2 Comments: DREAMING SILLY showed sharp speed before weakening late last time as betting favorite. 10-time winner on the year finds a good spot to yield for the pocket and can make amends.

Race 3 Comments: another amateur event here and IN THE HUDDLE who was second in one of these two back pacing in 1:56.2 and then second again racing against Open Company behind the rejuvinated Camwood in 1:54.2 mile last time gets the nod despite drawing outside slot.

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: FOX VALLEY SKYNYRD
Odds: 4-1
Race 5 Comments: Two former classmasters square off here. COACH CAL has had tough posts in last two following two wire to wire scores at this level prior. Moves inside and gets the nod over BLATANTLY BEST who actually faces lesser following a powerful come from behind win in which he paced a :56.3 final half. Draws 8-hole after a sick scratch last time but remains the main foe.
