Race 1 Comments: SOUTHERN MEMORIES hasn’t been seen since July when she made career debut chasing stakes company in Excelsior Series at Tioga. Returns to action at The Mighty M where she paced a fast final half in useful qualifier on 1/20, gets the rail and wouldn’t have to be much to handle these. SHAKE N GO Meadows shipper has the most experience of any in here and may be fastest but draws post 8 in local debut and may need race over half-miler even though lifeime mark was taken around four turns last year at The Somerset County Fair in Meyersdale, Pennsylvania. Interesting note about this track, harness racing resumed there last year after a hurricane devasted the grounds way back in 1953.

Race 2 Comments: PROUDAMERICANGIRL was stakes placed on the Maine and Massachusetts circuits and earned better than $58G’s as a three-year-old last year.
