2ND RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
4 7-2 FOX RIVER LUCKY – takes key drop and may
show improvement at this level for 31% barn.
6 5-2 GREAT THUNDER – amazing 13-year-old remains
in sharp form and won’t go down without a battle.
5 12-1 FOX VALLEY GABRIEL – has tailed off
following some solid Catskill miles. Dangerous on best.
2 3-1 WEN MAR’S HANDSOME – had 8-hole, trotted a
solid third quarter making up 9-lengths, finished evenly.
Better spot but will need best effort to be close.

5 shot, dug in gamely for place in huge mile.

alertly. Moves inside and figures to be well placed.

8 4-1 DESERT SUNRISE
5TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
3 9-2 REALIZELINDAJOY – has had outside posts in
last two after a powerful stretch rally to beat these three
back. Finds a good spot to set up her late kick and can
upset.
5 7-2 TEARSGETINTHEWAY – returns to winning level
and looks like the one to beat.
2 5-2 MAGIC Z TAM – 13-time winner over past two
seasons is hard to knock and usually races best at this
level.

6TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
8 7-2 BUM SOLEIL – draws 8-hole but takes sharp
drop and can leave for position.
7 3-1 WOLF’S FAWN – moves into April’s barn off
sharp wire to wire score against weaker. Chance at this
level.
6 5-2 DYNA RAIL
2 8-1 FAST JOHNNY
7TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
1 9-2 ROLL THE DI – tough spot in last, gets the
rail and may work out a trip in race filled with early
speed.

2 6-1 EASTERN PHOTO
5 5-2 IC LINDA
8TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
6 5-2 ALLIKAIT FIGHTER – was used in fast pace at
Yonkers. Returns after missing 4 weeks but seems fastest in
here if not in need of race.
7 3-1 HALEY AND TAYLOR – much improved mare has
shown speed in last two but is capable of coming from off
the pace as well.
5 4-1 EAST COAST GIRL – is just 1 for 21 on the
year but was a solid second in local debut and may have
found a good fit at this level.
2 6-1 MCDONNA – broke in first try for April.
Capable of better and can be a factor from this spot.
9TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
3 7-2 KZ BEZZ – held well despite long uncovered
grind in fast mile. Gets “Zeke” back and can brush past
these.

6 5-2 ARMBRO BRACKEN
10TH RACE
