Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: BRUTAL STORM
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: RENTIER
Odds: 5-1
Race 1 Comments: I AM THE STORM had a tough third over trip through slow pace, finished with :29.1 final quarter rallying for show. Likely to try the front front better spot today. RACINTOWARDADREAM finished in front of top one last time chasing much the best winner home in much improved try. Appears the one to beat here.

Horse Number: 5

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: UNIQUE SPLENDOR
Odds: 5-1
Race 2 Comments: P L NOTORIUS was a strong wire to wire winner as my $8.40 “BEST BET” in latest following a brutal parked the mile trip from 9-hole at The Meadowlands two back. Faces tougher and draws outside but appears to have enough speed to handle the upgrade.
Race 3

Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: PREACHER MAN
Odds: 5-2

Horse Name: WIN AND DREAM
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: HUNTERS GAL
Odds: 7-2
Race 3 Comments: SIX BAX was short off the bench following a strong qualifier here on 2/9. Tough 13-year-old hasn’t been this low in a long while and figures to be tighter off that effort last time.

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: MEAN PAULINE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 7

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: SKYWAY BALLET
Odds: 8-1
Race 4 Comments: ELECTROCUTED paced a :57.3 final half grinding an ultra game win at this level last time. Mare continues to race well for strong connections and can take another.

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: PENNY GIRL
Odds: 5-2
Race 5 Comments: SHECANDANCE N was a strong come from behind winner, as my $43.00 “TOP” pick, against some of these in Catskill debut from similar spot. Can repeat despite outside draw for barn that was hot last week.

Race 6 Comments: GLAMORGAL had a tough spot and was far back, finished in :29.1 returning from sick scratch on 2/14. 9-year-old has always raced well in The Catskills and can surprise these from better post.
