Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: IAQUINTA
Odds: 3-1

Race 1 Comments: PROUDAMERICANGIRL beat many of these with a game uncovered score, remains sharp and looks hard to beat. PRINCESS BRISA drops off some good tries against tougher and should offer some value here.

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: SHAMELESS ART
Odds: 5-1

Race 3 Comments: Don’t know how much TRIBAL SPORT has left in the tank after a giant parked the mile placing in last and a :57.4 final half rally from impossible spot two back but, hopefully it’s enough to handle these from first decent spot since arriving in The Catskills.

 

Race 4

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: ROLL WITH FRED
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: KJ ERICH
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: SPORTY REDHOT
Odds: 9-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: MISTER TRUTH
Odds: 3-1

Race 4 Comments: ROLL WITH FRED ultra sharp 8-year-old gets away from arch rival and equally sharp Epaulette A and looks best for leading barn. KJ ERICH drops out of the Open and looks to have a big shot from this spot.

 

Race 5

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: EMMA’S SUNSHINE
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: OPT OUT
Odds: 5-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: JACANA
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: OREANTHI
Odds: 7-2

Race 5 Comments: EMMA’S SUNSHINE was overmatched in stakes race at Goshen last time following some competitive tries here prior. Finds a nice spot against maidens in return and looks set for diploma this afternoon.

 

Race 6

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: JUST WAVE GOODBYE*
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: JUNIOR’S DEW
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: MACHTU N
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: ART NUKEM
Odds: 7-2

Race 6 Comments: JUST WAVE GOODBYE has been finishing fast in sizzling miles at Yonkers and The Meadowlands. Ships to The Catskills, gets Bruce and, despite lacking much small track experience, looks worth a shot against these.

 

Race 7

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: FAR BETTER
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: FOO FIGHTER N
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: VENIER HANOVER
Odds: 9-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: NUI BA DEN N
Odds: 4-1

Race 7 Comments: FAR BETTER returns from Yonkers where he had 7-race Catskill win streak snapped in 1:51 mile over sloppy surface. Was an easy winner at this level in last visit and looks capable of rebounding here.
