Race 1
5-Lindy’s Creditline - $43,000 yearling showed stark improvement kicking home in :57.4 + :27.3 for Tetrick, worth a swing despite tackling post 9
1B-Caveat Emptor - $60,000 yearling rebounded & steamrolled through a :57.3 back half + :27.3 kicker, trouncing Order By Keeper, part a strong three-ply attack for Ray Schnittker
2A-Corky - $100,000 yearling by Muscles Yankee finished with increased vigor in :57.3 just behind Lindys Creditline, any one of Takter’s trio is eligible to step up & win this
Race 2
5-True Day Dream – a Jean Pierre Dubois bred filly by a son of Pine Chip, shows two outstanding baby race wins at Tioga Downs, the latest with a handy :57.4 back half, let’s take a shot at the chalk
6-To Dream On - $200,000 Harrisburg yearling out of a half sister to two-time Dan Patch Award winner Pampered Princess, impressive in both outings, with a :26.4, then a :56.1 back half, Takter said she is really special & if she stays focused she could be anything
4-Andie Sophia - $5,700 Blooded Horse Sale yearling cruised in her latest trial, complete with a :27.4 final quarter with Tetrick, debuts against a potential monster
Race 3
3-Morningstar – Brittany Farms bred second foal out of the two-time Dan Patch Award winner & Oaks champion Passionate Glide, typically improved & won her second qualifier with plenty for Jimmy Takter
1-Royal Assets - $45,000 yearling sister to Take My Picture (1:53.3, $574,831), out of a sister to millionaire Civil Action, jogged in both baby races for Schnittker, the latest with a :57.1 back half
4-Lady Riviera – Richard T. Banca homebred, second foal out of a mare who made $2,430, the first is world champion Chapter Seven, sire is double millionaire Sand Vic, her two qualifiers were solid
Race 4
5-Dewey Lane – from the first crop of 2008 Hambletonian champion Deweycheatumnhowe & a Bob Key homebred won her latest baby race with confidence in a :59.2 back half at The Meadows
2-Sturdy Muscles – Muscles Yankee miss draws well off two perfect romps in the morning, the latest with a :58.3 back half over Lady Riviera
1-Muscles Secret - $55,000 Harrisburg buy is a full sister to millionaire & Breeders Crown champion Strong Yankee, won her third outing with a nice late burst for Schnittker
Race 5
5-Obsessive Artist – chased better at Pocono, used up in a :27.1 second quarter & held second to a huge favorite in Ace of Pace, retains Sears
8-LR Dancing Dream – caught in a bad shuffle then hooked wheels with longshot Superstar Dream, dropping further trying to shake off the stigma of that 1 for 20 record this season
9-Cheap N Easy – suddenly Tracy Brainard has shipped in a string, most of her stock seems to win on the lead just like this mare’s latest at Tioga
Race 6
10-Remissionofsins – trounced a camera-shy bunch in a lifetime best of 1:53 on Saturday for the red-hot Tony Hall, moves farther out, but faces another blank field
3-Southwind Tyrant – 15-time winner & hot item at the claim box at Pocono last season, tough to gauge of those Harrington qualifiers, and the nine-month layoff probably means the 7yo will need one or two
8-Art’s Jimmy Ray – romped in three of four at Harrington, steps up slightly, tackles a demanding post, but gets Pierce in a question mark field
Race 7
2-Red Light – another sharp Tracy Brainard shipper looking to rebound off a miscue at Tioga Downs, his previous form at Vernon Downs matches up well here from an inside post
1-Gold Walker – son of Ken Warkentin launching another comeback here after a long layoff & a pair of tightening miles at Harrahs Philadelphia
10-Bambino Hall – was dismal in his first start for Rene Allard on Lasix, but now this former stakes caliber son of Tom Ridge drops to rock bottom
Race 8
10-Lindy’s Madonna – her Big M debut chasing Weekend Vacation was an acceptable acclimating mile, reunited with Tetrick with a chance to improve
9-Weekend Vacation – shook loose with a nice late burst to break her maiden from the rail, while beating the favorite She Wears It Well
6-She Wears It Well – was hammered down to 6-5 favorite, raced aggressively by Pierce & tired late in :30.2, need to see more stamina
Race 9
3-Another Amaretto – ridgling was a solid third in the Historic at Tioga, draws another inside post in a soft field to improve further
9-Bluff – third foal from the millionaire Blur who did well in much tougher PASS action, the Arch Madness team finds a prime spot for this filly
6-Quarantine S – seemed to put it all together in her latest qualifier, but miscued at Tioga Downs, iffy prospect with some talent for a top barn
Race 10
1-Smokin N Grinin – offered excellent speed in a much needed tightening effort at Pocono, 10 for 22 last year, looks like a slam dunk from the rail with Sears
6-De Vins Girl – take note of that strong improvement in her second start here with the driver change to Yannick Gingras, possible upsetter
5-Chatty Kathy – another Tracy Brainard trainee with strong, speedy form on smaller New York tracks, seems to match up well with these
