Horse Number: 5

Odds: 6-1

Race 1 Comments: KJ ERICH has been finishing fast against tougher in recent. Takes key drop and should be hard to beat at this level.

Odds: 3-1

Race 2 Comments: WARRAWEE PREFERRED classy old guy has looked better in recent weeks, finds a good spot and can work out a trip. CASTYOURCROWN showed speed against best trotters on the grounds in local debut. 4-year-old won better than $80Gs last year, draws top upstate driver to The Catskills and appears the one to beat taking slight drop.

Race 3

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: LONG TRAIN RUNNIN**
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: KING OF HEROS N
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: BRIMFIELD
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: WAR DRUMS
Odds: 4-1

Race 3 Comments: LONG TRAIN RUNNIN had 8-hole and was far back early, uncorked a :57.4 final half making up a ton of ground but had too far to come. Takes on lesser, gets better spot and reunites with pilot who steered him at Buffalo. Should be of some value and looks worth a shot.
