Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: LODI MACHETTE MAN
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: SPECIAL GRADUATE
Odds: 3-1
Race 1 Comments: AFTER THE LOVIN returns from Pocono where she had even pace in 1:52.3 mile last time and a steady rally from 8-hole two back after showing sharp Catskill form prior. Returns to reality, finds a good spot and reunites with Bruce. OURLITTLEGENERAL A has some back class and now ships to The Catskills after some no shot miles at Freehold and Yonkers. Likely to go well with these and figures to be close.

Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: SMARTYS FILLY
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: K J NATALIA
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: CHEAP THRILLS
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BLUE BELL BEAUTY
Odds: 6-1
Race 2 Comments: SMARTYS FILLY has been finishing fast in all recent starts. Drops and looks best in weak field. K J NATALIA also drops but is just 1 for her last 29 and will have to improve.
Race 3
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: MYLITTLESURFERGIRL*
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: MISS QUALITY
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: FEAR NO EVIL
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: BRENDA’S GOT IT
Odds: 7-2
Race 3 Comments: MYLITTLESURFERGIRL has had 7-hole against tougher in last two. Drops, moves inside and easily beat better than this level back in February. MISS QUALITY comes off an improved uncovered placing in fast mile. Looms the one to beat if she can overcome outside draw.
Race 4
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: BULLVILLE JONATHAN
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: IMAMAJORPLAYER
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SHAKE N GO
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: WIGGLEMEJIGGLEME
Odds: 5-2
Race 4 Comments: BULLVILLE JONATHAN narrowed in gamely with :29.2 final panel to just miss against 3-5 shot in second start since last September. May be developing for longtime Catskill mainstay and gets the nod. With Canadian tracks closed, we are going to see many invaders from north of the border. IMAMAJORPLAYER is one such example. Has failed to hit the board in six lifetime starts but that was against far tougher. Gets the pole and appears the main danger.
Race 5
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: MYSTICAL WALLY
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: MILADY DENVER A
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: AMERICAN ISLAND
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: SAMMY B HAPPY
Odds: 5-1
Race 5 Comments: MYSTICAL WALLY Ohio invader moves into 34% barn for Catskill debut and was pacing some sizzling miles at Northfield. Could prove faster than the locals. MILADY DENVER A was a judge’s scratch last time following a huge come from behind score from 8-hole at Freehold prior, something not done often. Gets the rail and looks like major player.
Race 6
Horse Number: 7
Horse Name: STOP ACTION**
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: ROZEWOOD
Odds: 4-1
Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: IM A DIRECTOR N
Odds: 9-2
Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: HEARTLAND ECLIPSE
Odds: 3-1
Race 6 Comments: STOP ACTION brushed to the top with :58 middle half, opened a clear lead but couldn’t hold on through :28.4 final panel. 4-year-old loves this oval and looks hard to beat despite tough draw.
