CATSKILL STEVE’S MONTICELLO PICKS
THURSDAY, JULY 8, 2010
1ST RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
3 3-1 FOX VALLEY VALHALA – has a solid uncovered
try through fast pace from similar spot two back sandwiched
between two 8-hole trips. Seems better than this weak group
right now.
4 7-2 WALKINANDLAUGHIN
2 5-2 JD’S TYCOON
7 4-1 BLUE TIME FROSTY
2ND RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
6 5-2 PLAYA TULUM – ships in from Pocono off some
good speed tries. Lacks small track experience but
gets “Zeke” in local debut and can go down the road with
clean trip.
5 3-1 PAY TO PLAY
4 9-2 TOE SOCKS
2 7-2 RED OAKS SAMMIE
3RD RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments

now and can take 4th straight at this level.
2 3-1 LIFE OF RODDY
4 7-2 TIME SLIPS AWAY
1 9-2 GEORGIE’S ORGY
4TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
4 5-1 PUZZLEMENT – hasn’t shown much in three
career starts but two have been against sophomore stakes
colts on the NYSS circuit. Ships to The Catskills with
plenty of room for improvement.
8 3-1 LAKE VIEW DALE – Meadows invader broke
early and often in last after showing decent speed in prior
two. Debuts for top connections and draws 8-hole with
little or no experience on the half-miler but doesn’t face
much and trotters from The Meadows seem to always race well
here.

1 4-1 GO GAL GO
