Horse Name: EL PISTOLERO
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: CATCH PHRASE
Odds: 9-2
Race 1 Comments: DEFENSIVE PLAYER had a useful qualifier here on 6/21 and was competitive against tougher earlier in the year. Debuts for leading barn and should be ready to fire. BLAZING BLACK stayed flat last time and rallied boldly to break maiden. Youngster has some ability and can be dangerous with clean trip.

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: NORTHERN SPORTSMAN
Odds: 7-2
Race 2 Comments: COACH CAL is winless on the year but has raced gamely despite brutal uncovered trips in both Catskill tries, gets the pole and looks ready to end slump. ANDREIOS KARDIA held off top ones bid last time and was claimed. A definite threat to repeat.

Horse Name: VAGANOVA
Odds: 3-1
Race 4 Comments: LATE NIGHT JOKE had tough spot and was far back early, made bold wide backstretch move and finished with explosive pace to nail place behind 2-5 front running winner. Meets tougher but could be value play with best effort against competitive bunch.
