Race 1 Comments: ROCK N ROLL LEGACY had a brutal parked out trip in latest, packed it in at three quarters. Drops into the basement and will likely get the top easier.

Odds: 9-2
Race 2 Comments: JESSICAS BEACH BOY had 7-hole and was far back early, raced overland and went wide down the backstretch pacing :58 middle half and finished evenly on sub-freezing Catskill afternoon making first start since November. Drops off that needed effort and looks best against tough group.

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CARTERS CAPER
Odds: 9-2
Race 4 Comments: BIG N BAD Harah’s shipper had no shot from 8-hole in last following a series of solid closing tries through fast miles prior. 12-year-old has plenty of back class and was second here at this level back in November. MACHLICIOUS Reynolds win machine had long winning streak snapped last time but it took a tough uncovered trip to end it. Very much the one to beat here.

Race 6 Comments: KING STREET speedy 5-year-old came off the bench and a bout of lameless to crush this level in wire to wire fashion. Draws tough slot but can take another with anything close to that last.

Odds: 5-2
Race 7 Comments: AWOL HANOVER had a tough spot and tough trip trying to close off slow early fractions. Was caught wide through :29 third panel but couldn’t sustain rally doing well to finish fourth however. 8-year-old retains sharpness and can roll past from better spot.
