Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: R T LANGE
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: PENNEY’S SPITIT
Odds: 5-2

Race 1 Comments: GIDDYALLYOUGOT has had tough spots in both starts off Devaux freshening and looks like my best guess in weak opener. PRECIOUS BLUE CHIP had even pace through :58.1 final half but is just 1 for his last 48 and a woeful 7 for 141 lifetime and will have to show more.

Horse Name: INTENTIONS
Odds: 3-1

Odds: 9-2

Race 2 Comments: AMERICAN ERA has shown vast improvement since arriving in The Catskills and went down the road to set a lifetime mark last time. Hard to go past here.

Race 7 Comments: CANDELL has had tough posts/trips through stepped up final halves in all recent starts. 7-year-old is 0 for 28 on the year but may be sharper than form indicates and can surprise for hot barn.
