Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: WHISKEY MAVERICK
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: HOLMDEL HURRICANE
Odds: 6-1
Race 1 Comments: DON’T GO THERE has looked better in recent starts. Moves inside off an even try from 7-hole and doesn’t meet much here. GRATEFUL ATTITUDE chased 1-9 shot home from the pocket last time. Meets slightly tougher but should be a factor from the pole.

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

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: HYPNOTICDREAM
Odds: 4-1
Race 2 Comments: CLASS SIX was used twice and still finished with :56 final half including :28.2 final quarter in first start since last December. Finds a good spot, figures to be tighter and was facing tougher all last year. Looks best here.
Race 3
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: AIR GUITAR
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: JUNIOR’S DEW
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: FABRICE HANOVER
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: SNOOPY SNOOP
Odds: 9-2
Race 3 Comments: AIR GUITAR blew out lesser last time. Steps up, gets the pole and paced in 1:52.1 at The Meadowlands to start the year. Right back.
Race 4
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: EL PISTOLERO
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: DINNER PARTY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: SEE ME SHINE
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: TAZ
Odds: 8-1
Race 4 Comments: EL PISTOLERO was a solid second pacing :59 final half behind much the best winner in sophomore debut. Faced far tougher in a limited freshman campaign and can continue to get better with more experience.
Race 5
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: ROCKS FANTASY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: PROPHET BLUE CHIP
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: PEPPER GUY
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: ARTIFACT HANOVER
Odds: 7-2
Race 5 Comments: ROCKS FANTASY had 4-race win streak snapped last time but raced well despite tough overland trip from 7-hole rallying with :57.1 final half to nail show. 4-year-old appears to be in career peak form for leading barn and can start a new streak moving inside.
Race 6
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: PRINCESS ROYAL**
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: BETTYONTHEBEACH
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: HEAVENS SECRET
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: CHERISH HANOVER
Odds: 5-1
Race 6 Comments: PRINCESS ROYAL chased Open Company in Florida last time through 1:52.3 mile and charged home to take new lifetime mark two back. Ships north for barn that’s winning at 34%, should go well at this level and is Bruce’s choice over three others in here.
Race 7
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: VILLIAM
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: NUI BA DEN N
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: LITTLE POWER
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: HESTONS LUCKY CHIP
Odds: 3-1
Race 7 Comments: VILLIAM chased some scorching miles in Florida. Ships north and draws tough spot lacking much small track experience marking the return of up and coming pilot who has done ok here in the past. Slight edge in tough race.

Horse Name: MACHLICIOUS
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: HERE COMES SWIFTY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 5
