Race 1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: HOT SUMMER KNIGHT
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CRAZYCAT
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: CINNAMON STICK
Odds: 5-2
Race 1 Comments: HOT SUMMER KNIGHT set a wicked pace which included a 1:27.4 three quarters and just failed at the wire on afternoon that was unkind to front speed. 11-year-old has started 2022 in sharp form and looks best in very competitive opener. CRAZYCAT nipped top one on the wire last time and looms the one to beat.
Race 2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: GIDDYALLYOUGOT
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: R T LANGE
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: LK’S NANCY LEE
Odds: 6-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: ST ROAD TROPPER
Odds: 7-2
Race 2 Comments: GIDDYALLYOUGOT tough old senior citizen showed some of his speed from years gone by last time and gave way grudgingly on afternoon that favored closers. Gets in against weak bunch here and hopefully still has enough to complete DD. R T LANGE battled top one uncovered in that last mile and couldn’t go by, held well considering.
Race 3
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SWANCREDIT**
Odds: 4-1

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: WARRAWEE PREFERRED
Odds: 7-2
Race 3 Comments: SWANCREDIT had 8-hole and was far back early, trotted a 1:28.1 final three quarters making up a ton of ground. Moves inside in second try for high percentage barn and seems sharp enough to handle these.
Race 4
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BET YOU*
Odds: 9-2

Horse Name: SNOOPY SNOOP
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4

Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: PINE BUSH ROCKET
Odds: 5-1
Race 4 Comments: BET YOU took a ton of tote action from 7-hole, paced a solid middle half overland but weakened late. Two back was a 1:26.2 final three quarters rallying for show against far tougher. Drops another notch in third Catskill try, moves inside and looks best.
