Race 1 Comments: MEAN PAULINE has been super sharp at this level and now gets the rail off easy gate to wire score. ELECTROCUTED is sharp in her own right and chased top one home for place last time. Mare has raced extremely well since arriving in The Catskills and will likely complete $5 exacta to start the new week off. PENNY GIRL has missed over a month but raced gamely in both Catskill starts and now returns off useful qualifier for barn that’s winning at 33%. Post only knock.

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: DREAMING SILLY
Odds: 7-2
Race 3 Comments: BESTGIRLFRIENDEVER made wide move past :29.2 third quarter on sub-freezing Catskill afternoon, understandably tired. Drops off that effort and is interestingly JD’s choice over the 1 in here who he won with last time.

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: LACARMELILIANA
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: TIPPERARY HILL
Odds: 9-2
Race 5 Comments: EDEN PAIGE N had a nightmare trip in local debut caught three wide past a :57.3 half then continuing on uncovered past a 1:27.1 three quarters before weakening but did well to miss by less than five lengths considering on a 24-degree Catskill afternoon. 11-year-old has some back class and looks worth another shot with likely better trip.
Race 6
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SHOOT THE THRILL
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: VANISHING ACT
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 5

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: BARN STAR
Odds: 4-1
Race 6 Comments: SHOOT THE THRILL was in tough and had 7-hole in latest following a giant parked the mile effort at this level two back amazingly missing by less than a length. Returns to that level and could give owner/provisional pilot a good shot at rare win.
Race 7
Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: TOPVILLE OLIVIA
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: REALISTIC
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 3

Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: P L NOTORIOUS
Odds: 4-1
Race 7 Comments: TOPVILLE OLIVIA had no shot from tough third over spot in last following a :57 final half rally two back. Consistent mare draws another tough slot but returns to winning level, appears deceptively sharp and should be charging late.
