Race 1 - NW22401L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot
(6) UNEVERGONNAGETHIS double drops out of the Invitational in his second start for trainer Jeff Cullipher and won the last time he was in this class. (3) OVER AND BACK has been sharp for quite a while and rallied to finish second at this level a week ago. He also moves in from post seven to the two-hole. (2) DIAMANTE TRIO IT defeated NW20000L5 base class rivals on June 5 and slides in from the eight-hole to post two this week.

Race 2 - NAADA Summer Series Leg #2 Trot
(6) FANATIC merits another chance tonight as he gained nicely in the first leg of this series last week and has hit the board in four straight outings overall. (5) WINDSONG PIONEER hasn't won yet this year but finds what should be a softer spot than what he has been in and picks up one of the top amateur drivers in Tony Beltrami. (1) ITSONEOFTHOSE finished second to a well-meant favorite in his division of this series last Wednesday and starts from the pole.

Race 3 - NW20000L5 / Winners in Last Start of the Base Class NW15000L5 / NW10 PM Races LT / 60000CLM Trot
(1) INFINITY STONE never got involved from post eight in the Open at Saratoga last time out but was racing well in this class prior to that, drew the pole and gets reunited with Yannick Gingras. (3) LUCKY MUM N was second at this level on June 5 and comes out of a solid second-place finish to a well-meant favorite in the F&M Invitational a week ago. (2) MA ISABELLE came in third in that F&M Invitational last Thursday and also shows a third in that NW20000L5 tilt that LUCKY MUM N was second in back on the 5th of June.
Race 4 - 30000CLM Pace
(7) BILL HALEY N moves out on the gate this time but won handily in this class on 6-12 and makes his third start back after a bit of time off. (3) WELL THAT'S MARKY just missed by a nose in an age-restricted $30,000 claimer last week and faces open company here, but I don't think it's the strongest group and he drew well. (6) MAXIMUS RED A shows a win at this level two back and has hit the board in five of his last seven appearances overall.
Race 5 - 25000CLM Pace - *$75,000 GTD. PICK 5 w/$22,198 C/O*
(7) OZONE BLUE CHIP starts from a bad post again but has closed out his last three miles well and drops a notch from the $30,000 claimers. (2) BURNHAM BOY N picked up his first win of 2025 in this class last Wednesday and slides in on the gate from the five-hole to post two. (4) BETTORBUCKLEUP shows a couple of seconds against $25,000 claiming company in his lines and was Brent Holland's choice in this race.
Race 6 - 40000CLM Trot
(1) BAR COINS got around the track without an issue last Thursday in his first pari-mutuel outing back in Joe Bongiorno's stable, and I'll hope for some improvement from the pole position here. (4) JUST LIKE MAGIC was a gaining second in his second try for leading trainer Per Engblom and gets Jason Bartlett back in the bike. (3) MAX overcame a break a week ago to pick up his third victory in four tries against $40,000 claiming company and should be one of the main contenders again.
Race 7 - F&M 20000CLM Pace
(2) RACIN FOR ROYALTY hasn't been outside the trifecta in four tries since she was claimed by Scott Di Domenico and won at this level two back. She moves in on the gate from post six to the two-hole this time as well. (4) FIGHT NOT FLIGHT is another sharp mare in here as she's only missed the board once in her last seven outings. She debuts for new connections here off another claim. (5) COALFORDSNSHINE GB should have picked up some confidence with a driving win between foes in this class a week ago.
Race 8 - 3-6YO 30000CLM Pace
(4) BETTOR MAKE A WISH came in fifth in this class on 6-12 and that was a quick mile for this level. He was in good form at Monticello prior to that and gets a driver switch to Gingras. (2) LYONS BENJAMIN is now on a three-race win streak after he defeated age-restricted $30,000 claiming foes last Wednesday and stayed in Di Domenico's stable after he wasn't claimed. (3) TO THE HUNT has been second or third in his last three appearances and gets significant post relief this time. He was also Scott Zeron's choice.

Race 9 - NW5746L5 who are NW L3 Starts / 12500CLM Pace
(3) ARMYCAPTIN HANOVER burned money as the favorite in his debut for Engblom at the Meadowlands on 6-14 but had been off for just over a month coming into that mile. Horses often improve in their second tries for this stable (like Just Like Magic back in race six) and he gets Bartlett in the bike. (4) STAG PARTY was third with a good last quarter in a NW7500L5 tilt at Yonkers last Wednesday and drops a notch tonight. (2) CASINO ACTION N shows a couple of on-the-board results in this class at Yonkers and moves in a couple of slots on the gate tonight.
Race 10 - F&M 20000CLM Pace
(1) DW'S DARLENE was unable to threaten from the eight-hole last week but closed out her mile well and has hit the board in five of her last seven tries overalls. She starts from post one this time and gets a driver switch to Gingras. (2) EBONY LADY drops out of the $25,000 claimers and won handily the last time she raced at this level back on 5-6. Add in some post relief and she's an intriguing option. (4) DISTANT LOVER has a similar profile to EBONY LADY as she cruised to victory when last seen in this class back on the 20th of May and reunites with Bartlett for Engblom.
