**RACE 1 — 2yo Colts/Geldings Pace, Maiden/NW1**
1. **Allpumpedup (#5, PP5, 9-2)** — comes off a wire-to-wire win last out for a hot
Steacy/Drury combo, the freshest form in the field.
2. **Whiskey Stinger (#3, PP3, 3-1)** — has been running competitively against
tougher New Jersey Sires Stakes company all summer and drops into an easier spot
tonight.
3. **Global Choice (#4, PP4, 7-2)** — a game closer in stakes company recently with a
strong Merner barn (12% win, $2.59 ROI) backing him.

Longshot: **Notre Dame (#10, PP10, 8-1)** — has been trending forward in real races
(not qualifiers) and gets a shot at maidens tonight instead of tougher Grassroots foes,
though the extreme outside post is a knock.

**RACE 2 — 2yo Trot, NW2 Races/$20,000**
1. **Houstonweavaproblm (#8, PP8, 8-1)** — most wins of anyone in the field (3) and
the driver/trainer combo (Jones/Etsell) is cashing at a blistering rate.
2. **Sumluckylady (#5, PP5, 5-1)** — won her last start driving hard off the pace, the
most current form in the race.
3. **Stormont Violet (#7, PP7, 6-1)** — sandwiched a win between two competitive
minor-share finishes, showing she's a threat any time she gets a clean trip.

Longshot: **Swingingchandelier (#1, PP1, 10-1)** — just broke through for a win with
a 28%-strike trainer (Blais) in the bike, a legit price play off that form.

**RACE 3 — OSS Grassroots Leg 4A, 3yo Pacing Colts**
1. **Exactly Correct (#1, PP1, 5-2)** — three wins in his last six starts including a sharp
victory over some of tonight's rivals, and he gets the rail.
2. **Tilthecowscomehome (#5, PP5, 2-1)** — finished second to the top pick last time
after a romping win two starts back, clearly in peak form right now.
3. **Hall of Fear (#7, PP7, 9-2)** — a win and a close second in his last two clean trips;
his only bad race came from breaking stride while actually leading.

Longshot: **Chow For Now (#8, PP8, 10-1)** — has two wins in his last six outings,
including a sharp closer last week, and gets an easier field tonight.

**RACE 4 — 2yo Filly Trot, Maiden/NW1**
1. **Snowdream Hanover (#8, PP8, 3-1)** — two of her last three starts were tight
minor shares, suggesting she's rounding into form right on time.
2. **Peachy Dee (#5, PP5, 4-1)** — broke through with a dominant qualifier win and
has banked checks against much tougher Grassroots foes since.
3. **Nine To Five (#7, PP7, 6-1)** — four straight finishes within four lengths and picks
up leading driver Doug McNair tonight.

Longshot: **Miss Molley Two (#2, PP2, 10-1)** — trotted a dominant qualifier win last
time and drops from graded Grassroots stakes into a plain maiden spot, real class relief if
her gait holds up.

**RACE 5 — Pop Up Series Consolation, F&M Claiming**
1. **Grand Circuit (#7, PP7, 5-1)** — two wins in her last four starts and a red-hot
trainer (McQueen, 21% strike rate) in her corner.
2. **Itll Be Alright (#4, PP4, 6-1)** — the only horse in the field who won its most
recent start.
3. **Jazzville (#1, PP1, 3-1)** — by far the most accomplished mare here this season (6
wins from 22 starts) and gets a fresh start off the claim.

Longshot: **Funny Business (#8, PP8, 8-1)** — won two starts back and has stayed
competitive at this level since, capable of closing late from off the pace at a big price.

**RACE 6 — 4yo & Younger Trot, NW1/$10,000**
1. **Broadway Star (#3, PP3, 6-1)** — three photo-finish seconds/thirds in his last six
tries shows he's been the most consistently competitive horse in the field.
2. **Stormont Friedboy (#10, PP10, 9-2)** — finished in the top two in five of his last
six starts without a single bad race on his card.
3. **Unsurpassable (#6, PP6, 10-1)** — won impressively two starts back and was a
close second before that, real ability if she rebounds from a flat effort last time.

Longshot: **King Trixton (#9, PP9, 15-1)** — scored a game win two starts back and
gets a firmer post tonight to try to repeat.

**RACE 7 — OSS Grassroots Leg 4A, 3yo Pacing Colts**
1. **Ryder Ross (#9, PP9, 5-1)** — romped home last out after a perfect following trip,
with a driver/trainer team (McNair/McNair) clicking at over 20%.
2. **Illicit Behavior (#5, PP5, 3-1)** — a winner two back and a closing third last time,
consistently finding trouble-free trips.

3. **Mega Moves (#2, PP2, 10-1)** — closed for a tight second last start paired with the
meet's hottest specific combo in this race (Roy/Beaton, 23%).

Longshot: **Walters Nip (#10, PP10, 15-1)** — trainer Frank Baker is running at a
scorching 42% clip this meet, and this colt already has a win and multiple seconds on his
page.

**RACE 8 — 2yo Colt/Gelding Trot, Maiden/NW1**
1. **Cornaro Kid (#9, PP9, 7-2)** — closed for third in his actual pari-mutuel debut
after a dominant qualifier win, real forward progress start over start.
2. **Bacio Blue Chip (#6, PP6, 5-1)** — has been facing much stiffer Millard Farms
stakes company and drops into an easy maiden spot tonight with a good post.
3. **Fallin For Muscles (#7, PP7, 6-1)** — a game closing second last time out with one
of the meet's most efficient trainers (Maguire, 20%+ strike rate) in his corner.

Longshot: **Manking (#3, PP3, 8-1)** — a $130,000 purchase who's faced killer
Grassroots company in both real starts and gets a big class break tonight against straight
maidens.

**RACE 9 — OSS Grassroots Leg 4A, 3yo Pacing Colts**
1. **Windor (#7, PP7, 3-1)** — just won impressively last week with an elite 22%-
strike driver/trainer team and drops out of Gold-level company into this easier field.
2. **Wholettthedogsout (#6, PP6, 5-2)** — has been racing well above this level most of
the year and gets major class relief facing Grassroots rivals tonight.
3. **Barracuda Hanover (#5, PP5, 5-1)** — third in four of his last six starts, including a
strong last-to-third closing move in his most recent try.

Longshot: **Sunset Loo (#8, PP8, 6-1)** — a dominant win two starts back and
competitive since, with enough late pace to factor if the top pair duel too hard early.

**RACE 10 — Pop Up Series Final, F&M Claiming**
1. **Missy Rocks (#6, PP6, 3-1)** — three wins in her last four starts including a career-
best mile last time out, clearly the class of this field.
2. **Half Fast (#9, PP9, 7-2)** — won in career-fastest time last out and nearly pulled
off a monster upset the start before with a huge closing move.
3. **Acefortyfour Daisy (#8, PP8, 5-1)** — won her last start closing hard and has
finished top-two in four of her last six tries.

Longshot: **Ak Black Badger (#10, PP10, 15-1)** — won by a nose last time and was nosed out herself the start before, racing as sharp as anyone here at a huge double-digit
price.
