Race 1

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

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: TYRONBETTORSELLA N
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: TOPVILLE OLIVIA
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: MYLITTLESURFERGIRL
Odds: 4-1

Race 1 Comments: MEAN PAULINE set a modest pace, then flew home with :58.4 final half only to get nailed in the final strides on afternoon that saw only one winner go wire to wire. 10-year-old has burned plenty of money in last two but remains consistently sharper than any in here and is worth another chance

Race 2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: LODI BANK ROBBER**
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: WARRAWEE PREFERRED
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: ROSE RUN SPEEDSTER
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: RACINTOWARDADREAM
Odds: 3-1

Race 2 Comments: LODI BANK ROBBER drops and gets the rail following two no shot tries from 8-hole. 8-year-old doesn’t win often but beat better than these back in October and could be set for big mile.

Race 3

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: GLAMORGAL
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: MILLWOOD FAITH N
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: BROOKDALE JESSIE
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: THE NEW AMERICANA
Odds: 4-1

Race 3 Comments: GLAMORGAL was victimized by slow early pace, finished with solid late pace through :58.4 final half. Makes second start at reduced level and will likely try leaving from this spot.

Race 4

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: VERDI D EM
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: AWOL HANOVER
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: DEVIOUS HANOVER
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: DENTON
Odds: 3-1

Race 4 Comments: VERDI D EM blasted to the top from 7-hole, set a reasonable pace and gave way grudgingly late on poor afternoon for front speed. Gets the rail and can take these down the pike.

Race 5

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: UNIQUE SPENDOR
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: SPECIAL ACHIEVER
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: DADS FILLY
Odds: 6-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SMARTYS FILLY
Odds: 4-1

Race 5 Comments: UNIQUE SPENDOR was the only wire to wire winner on last Monday’s card. Steps up but has raced well since arriving in The Catskills and looks like a good acqusition for the Messengers.
