Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: MOONLIGHTANDROSES
Odds: 5-1

Race 1 Comments:  TOO MUCH SUN fast finisher chased strong front runner from the pocket and couldn’t gain late despite pacing :28.2 final panel on afternoon that favored speed. Gets in against that one again and a field that should force a more contested early pace and can roll by late on best.

Horse Name: IM A CHLOE

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: GLAMORGAL
Odds: 7-2

Race 3 Comments:  SPECIAL ACHIEVER left and tucked, made second move brushing to the top past :28.2 third panel and gamely held on to beat many of these last time. Mare has raced well in all Catskill starts and gets the nod to repeat.

 

Race 4

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: FLIGHT OF THE KIWI*
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: STARRYSTARRYNIGHT
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: QUICK SUMMER
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: BROADWAY PROMISE
Odds: 6-1

Race 4 Comments:  FLIGHT OF THE KIWI had a tough spot against better and was far back early, trotted a sharp :57.4 middle half but was too far back to menace, broke turning for home with no shot. Drops to more competitive level and can surprise these minus any miscues.

 

Race 5

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: TIPPERARY HILL**
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: BA BA BA BANANA
Odds: 3-1

Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: MISS QUALITY
Odds: 6-1

Race 5 Comments:  TIPPERARY HILL didn’t fade badly considering after being parked past opening :57.3 half. Mare continues to endure tough trips and has burned a ton of money but may be set to atone now.

Horse Name: CYCLONE MAXIMUS
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 5

Race 6 Comments:  ARCH CREDIT had no shot at Tioga and Vernon in recent. Returns to The Catskills at greatly reduced level and can prove best despite outside draw.
