Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: PINEBUSH SWEETLIFE
Odds: 7-2
Race 1 Comments: FRAZZLEBERRY broke maiden here in The Catskills in second career start wiring the field in impressive fashion from 8-hole. That was 5 months ago and now he returns to make only third career start off strong 1:57.1 Pocono qualifier. 4-year-old obviously has problems but also seems to have more ability than these when right and merits the nod in opener. PANATEE gets HUGE driver switch and flirted at some ability here last year. May be better than the rest.

Race 4 Comments: EPAULETTE A gets a better spot and may try leaving for trip. ER VEGAS was out run in 1:51.1 Pocono mile last time after racing evenly through fast miles against tougher at Yonkers prior. Should go well at this level and appears to have a big shot.
