CATSKILL STEVE’S MONTICELLO PICKS
TUESDAY, JULY 20, 2010
1ST RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
5 7-2 YOUBETTERBELIEVEIT – slipped out late and
finished full of pace making up close to 6 lengths in the
stretch over sloppy surface. May try to control it from
this spot.
4 5-2 LENNON NZ – has been chasing fast miles at
Yonkers and Freehold. Moves into good barn, gets “The Kid”
and should be tough.
7 6-1 LEMON DROP HALL – draws tough post but
takes slight drop in class and may go well at this level.
2ND RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
7 5-2 LISA MARIE’S DREAM – seems the most
advanced of these and can overcome post.

2 7-2 WINSMITH DELIGHT
4 5-1 PRINCE ARDENT
3RD RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
1 5-2 MT VERNON HANOVER – former class master
gets the rail shooting for 5th straight at this level and
is hard to go past.

in the slop when dropped to proper level.

4 6-1 BASSO HANOVER
4TH RACE

pace before faltering over tiring surface. Two back went
down the road in fast mile against this type.

3 4-1 ANOTHER MIKE
5TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
2 4-1 CAIDEN’S COLT – was overmatched in 1:52.1
mile at The Meadowlands, did well to miss by less than 4
lengths. Two back was used hard early from 7-hole and held
show at this level in fast mile. Moves inside and looks
tough to catch.
4 5-2 DEMPSEY – made wide move against streaking
pacer, finished evenly in blistering mile.
5 7-2 BAIL BOND HANOVER – paced a fast middle
half overland but couldn’t sustain rally against tougher.
Drops and could be dangerous in second local try.
6TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
4 5-2 MILLION DOLLAR BAY – finished in :28.2
against tougher. Drops to level of three straight wins and
should be able to wear down the speed.

10TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments

2 4-1 SNUFF BOX
11TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
2 3-1 BLUERIDGE D’BANG – left well from 8-hole
and tucked, made second move to follow live cover at the
half, was blindswitched down the backstretch when cover
stopped and ducked back to the pylons, slipped out turning
for home and finished well. Moves inside in second try at
reduced level and seems set.
5 5-2 JADESTONE
8 5-1 HEARTY FELLOW
7 4-1 BEHIND ENEMY LINES

13TH RACE
# Odds Horses and Comments
