Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: COCO HALL
Odds: 5-1

Race 1 Comments: BANK GUARD was used hard to get the top, carved out a lively pace before folding past three quarters against Open Company in local debut. Drops, finds a good spot to utilize his speed and should be set in second Catskill start. SKYWAY TINACIOUS was a powerful wire to wire winner in local debut. Steps up but is more than capable of repeat for barn that’s winning at an astounding 42%.

Horse Name: SB MIKES HOT BEACH
Odds: 9-2

Race 2 Comments: SHARP RAZOR has had tough trips in all recent starts. Finds a good spot in field full of early speed and can get up. ADMIRAL blew out lesser last time. Steps up and could well repeat.
