Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: SHOWME SOME MUSCLE
Odds: 3-1
Race 1 Comments: HOME’N DRY had no shot from 8-hole last time following a strong qualifier two back and some solid efforts against far tougher prior. Drops to lowest level in a while and moves inside.
Race 2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: HOWLENTHEHILLS
Odds: 4-5
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: ESCAPE TO AMERICA
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SPRING BLAKE
Odds: 4-1
Race 2 Comments: HOWLENTHEHILLS 3-year-old NY bred colt and geldings in the spotlight this afternoon and this one has paced in 1:53.3 at Yonkers and 1:51 at Saratoga already this year after going winless as a freshman. Looks faster than the four others in here and will be hard to beat. ESCAPE TO AMERICA paced a :56.2 final half to win an Excelsior Stake at Goshen in lastest and may be the only one with a shot at top one here. May complete $3 exacta. Note: Monticello track record for 3-year-old colt pacers is 1:52.1 set in 2007 and 3-year-old pacing geldings is 1:52 set in 2014. Both records could well be in jeopardy with the right conditions.
Race 3
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SEEN HERE
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: WITHIN THE WILD
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: CHOOSE CAREFULLY
Odds: 3-1
Race 3 Comments: SEEN HERE has shown the most in here and is undefeated over the half-miler as a sophomore. Should continue the “chalk” parade here. WITHIN THE WILD uncorked an amazing :53.3 final half to score over 7/8’s track in Indiana in third career start. May have best shot at an upset with speed like that.
