Race 1 Comments: In a field begging to be beat, LOOK N FABULOUS made two moves and held show through :29.1 final panel, seems best of these.

Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: SHAMELESS ART
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: ASTOUNDED HANOVER
Odds: 4-1

Race 2 Comments: KEYSTONE MICAH has been chasing fast miles at Dover and is the only one in here that’s ever visited the winner’s circle. Ships to The Catskills to meet a field that’s a combined 0 for 120 careerwise and note that win was in 1:56.3 over a half mile track in Virginia. Draws tough slot but just seems faster than these.

Horse Name: HIS EXCELLENCE
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 4

Horse Name: SIR JAKE’S Z TAM
Odds: 4-1

Race 3 Comments: STEUBEN GLADIATOR had sub par qualifier here on 1/13 which followed a game two-move placing from 7-hole in 1:54.3 mile. Gets the rail and Bruce and gets the nod.

Horse Name: ROCKIN RAMBARAN
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: BRIMFIELD
Odds: 7-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: PREACHER OLLIE
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: CC BIG BOY SAM
Odds: 4-1

Race 4 Comments: ROCKIN RAMBARAN hard hitting 11-year-old has rounded into top form for 36% barn and looks to make it four straight at this level, another tough chalk.

Race 5

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: DRAIN DADDY
Odds: 9-2

Horse Number: 2
Horse Name: FIERY LUSTRE N
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: MAN HE CAN SKOOT
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: OK ICON
Odds: 4-1

Race 5 Comments: DRAIN DADDY missed by a head after being parked the entire mile in monster try. Should be set now in second try at reduced level.

Race 6

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: ER SOPHIA
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 8
Horse Name: COOL CLIFFORD
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 1
Horse Name: SOME ROYALTY
Odds: 4-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: SOUL TRAIN
Odds: 10-1

Race 6 Comments: ER SOPHIA razor sharp mare has developed a fondness for The Catskills scoring for the fifth time in six starts with an eye-opening wire to wire score in one of the fastest trots of the new year last time. COOL CLIFFORD Northfield shipper is another speedball capable of giving top one a battle but draws 8-hole and has not been minding his manners as of late. Threat with clean trip.

Race 7

Horse Number: 6
Horse Name: CASH N CHROME*
Odds: 6-1

Horse Number: 5
Horse Name: SIX BAX
Odds: 5-2

Horse Number: 4
Horse Name: COCO HALL
Odds: 3-1

Horse Number: 3
Horse Name: AWOL HANOVER
Odds: 7-2

Race 7 Comments: CASH N CHROME lacked a rally through stepped up final half over speed favoring track last time. Two back was dead game rallying uncovered for place through :58.4 final half. 7-year-old appears faster and sharper than form and looks worth a shot at a price.
