Odds: 6-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: BREEZING PRAYER
Odds: 5-2
Race 1 Comments: IM A CHLOE has shown the most of any in here and gets the rail, edge. DEVIOUS HANOVER has missed a few months and now returns off of two less than impressive Catskill qualifiers. Mare lacks much small track experience but did finish second in 1:56 mile at The Meadowlands last October and must be considered a key player if she can negotiate the turns.

Horse Name: BLUE LINE
Odds: 7-2
Race 2 Comments: BLACKTREE razor sharp 10-year-old has been pacing consistently faster than these in recent starts, looks best. TRACK MASTER D followed a lame scratch up with solid try in fast mile. Veteran has a class edge on these and looks like toughest foe.

Horse Name: GLORY JEAN
Odds: 7-2
Horse Number: 1

Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: LYONS WOODLANDS
Odds: 4-1
Race 5 Comments: MISS WATERBUFFALO was parked past a :28.4 opening panel in local debut, didn’t fade badly considering. 5-year-old gets 8-hole in second start for leading barn but takes a key drop and can surprise with some racing luck.

Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: AMERICAN ISLAND
Odds: 5-2
Horse Number: 4

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: RANSOM DEMAND
Odds: 4-1
Race 6 Comments: WAR DADDY was first up against razor sharp 3-10 leader past a wicked 1:25.3 three quarters, excusably tired. 8-year-old retains sharpness and should be riding live cover from this spot.

Horse Name: EPAULETTE A
Odds: 3-1
Horse Number: 8

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: IM A DIRECTOR N
Odds: 9-2
Race 7 Comments: WEEKEND ATNANNIES speedy 6-year-old has been speed tightened and sharpened at Buffalo and now returns to the Open Company in The Catskills where he had some tough spots/posts in last visit.

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: BETTER UP
Odds: 5-2

Horse Name: LULU DE VIE
Odds: 6-1
Race 8 Comments: MV OK PALACIO BR took a ton of money and endured a wide trip through fast mile in first start of the year. 5-year-old raced well here in two starts last year and may be sitting on a big mile for barn that’s winning at an unbelievable 41%.
