RACE 1

1ST – SHMALON(NY) – makes third start in three weeks, something she has successfully done before and has won this level against state-breds before

2ND – PARISIAN LACE(NY) – never won two turns before but seven times second could catch a break in here

OUT – LOST BOYS(NY) – WHAT? multiple stakes winner goes off at odds of 18-1, something’s wrong. Three year old filly will have her work cut out for her, but who’s going to question an Eclipse Award trainer

SHMALON is making a habit of beating NY local breds on short rest, clicked again $5.00…Note, multi-stakes winning 3yo LOST BOYS was well up the track with a 15 speed figure taking on older rivals in local event.

RACE 2

OUT – ROCK OF TURFSTARKE(IRE) – comes in one win short of the conditions but pair of near misses is enough to get top vote here

3RD – FLEETWOOD FLOWER(KY) – could wake up for new connections at big price

1ST– FIGHT WITH SWORDS(KY) – almost shook loose in last against this kind, logical favorite

top pick ROCK OF TURFSTARKE ran evenly throughout but 2nd pick, 30-1 FLEETWOOD FLOWER(KY) hit the board for a $9.00 show payoff. While 3rd pick won like a favorite should.

RACE 3

2ND – LUCKY BAY(KY) – no excuse in last, turns back to six furlongs and should be up in time

OUT– MAJESTIC FLAME(KY) – from multi-stakes winning mare who made a living sprinting albeit turf. Unlike mom, this one prefers, and returns, to the dirt

1ST – SWEEP THE MAIL(JPN) – broke maiden last out after nine tries, but usually in the mix

Third pick SWEEP THE MAIL was best down the stretch while top pick took the place. $25.80 on the exacta box

RACE 4

3RD – RAVEN’S REVENGE(IRE) – came charging fast late in last, from multi stakes winning turf router mare

OUT – CASTING SPELLS(KY) – throw out last, makes turf debut two turns, sib to SADDLE DANCE(IRE), multiple stakes winner on the green

top pick was out-hustled to the wire just missing and settled for the place with an $8.30 return

RACE 5

1ST– DESTINY MAKER TED(GB) – overmatched in latest but is a perfect two for two when racing in company on the turf

3RD – DANDYDIX(PA) – PA bred is racing in top form and boasts a pair of triple digit speeds in two of his last three

2ND – PASSIONATE CHANT(IRE) – wired the field in his last over the off-going while posting a career best speed figure, must not falter

top pick DESTINY MAKER TED returned to a winning level ($13.30) heading 3rd pick PASSIONATE CHANT at the wire. Second pick DANDYDIX got the show giving us a $239.90 Triple for the box

RACE 6

3RD – DEUS SPOUSE(KY) – speed from the rail, shakes loose here

2ND – MY VOW(KY) – full of run last out in dirt return, needs to overcome slow start

1ST – CAT STORIES(KY) – may have bounced in last off that triple digit win, dangerous if top choice falters

RACE 7

3RD– DEVIL’S MOON(KY) – caught up in a speed duel in last, racing in top form

1ST – I LOVE MONEY(AUS) – has come back running after being freshened from disappointing derby campaign

OUT – WV DANCER(IRE) – looks like a tired horse, beware

class prevailed here as second pick I LOVE MONEY held on by a nose. top pick settled for the Show.

RACE 8

2ND – REGAINED FAITH(KY) – fits well with these, trip digits last three

OUT – BILLY KEY(JPN) – winless six months but gets softest spot in in last six starts

1ST – ROYAL SANDS(ENG) – seven year old just keeps plugging away, ITM six of last seven, always dangerous

third pick ROYAL SANDS was giving lessons as top choice settled for the place. Exacta $25.80

RACE 9

1ST – WHO DAT SAINT(KY) – winner of 21 of 45 including the G3 Fall Midweight HCP last out, top connections, today’s best

OUT – ISLE OF WIGHT(IRE) – been racing longer but has proven to get it done in a sprint when right

2ND – ROCKPORT GOLD(KY) – moves up in the off going, but no rain today

WHO DAT SAINT, the days Best Bet, rallied past the leaders for a neat $6.00. Exacta paid $18.00…nice to see stoners around

RACE 10

1ST – MEETMEATMIDNITE(KY) – four year old filly with a sprinters pedigree is well spotted for debut, choice

3RD – MIDNIGHTS CAT(KY) – makes ninth start this level, now or never

top pick MEETMEATMIDNITE was always close and won easily when asked, the $13.20 winner is the kind you like to empty your pockets on and then go home

RACE 11

OUT – EXTENDED POWER(KY) – Grade I winner returns well-rested and should be better than these even at RTG

1ST – TANGLED LIES(KY) – third start following a layoff, had no excuses in last, one more try

2ND – CUPS(KY) – sounds like a horse Chandler Bing might own, six year old makes her 40th start but still might have a good one left

second pick TANGLED LIES made amends while third pick CUPS came from far back to still show he has some fight for the place. exacta box pays $39.50

RACE 12

1ST – SKUNK IN THE GRASS(KY) – recent starts have been spread out, best if fit

2ND – CONSUMED BY CHAOS(KY) – comes back of a well needed rest after a steady diet of Graded Stakes

OUT – MAN OF STEEL(KY) – just missed this level in last, gets second chance

top pick SKUNK IN THE GRASS overcame the outside post and got up in time to pay $5.00 for the win while CONSUMED BY CHAOS held on for the place for a cold $14.40 exacta.

RACE 13

2ND – ROAD CAT(KY) – undefeated three starts, hop aboard

top two picks finish one, two in inverse order, not a lot of money to be made here

RACE 14

1ST – TIZWEST(KY) – returns to the dirt and could control the pace on the front end

3RD – EVIL OF THE NORTH(KY) – stretches out and should benefit from her debut but will have to avoid a speed duel with top choice

OLD DIMENSION(KY) and AGAINWITHAWESOME(KY) are both impeccably bred and could be anything in here

top selection TIZWEST proved much the best paying a sweet $17.00 for the score. First time starter AGAINWITHAWESOME got the place and third pick finished out the trifecta for a nice $338.00 Tri.

RACE 15

1ST – K’S UNSTOPPABLE(KY) – has been facing better and shortens up at winning level

OUT – CURLINDY(KY) – belated rally in last make second start off a layoff, chance at a price

2ND – ENFORCE THIS(KY) – just missed this distance and level two back, looks to be reaching top form cycle

RACE 16

OUT – OVERDOSE ON YOU(KY) – returns to a route where he is 11 for 37 lifetime, six year old still getting it done

top choice never got rolling as third pick turned things around for the win.
