RACE 1 — Pace, F&M NW$6,000/4 or NW$12,000/8 ($16,000)

Top 3

#3 Tamara Hanover (7‑2) — Fired her sharpest career mile last week, grinding first‑over after a taxing early journey. She’s clearly rounding into peak form.

#7 Madam X (9‑2) — Three straight runner‑up finishes at this exact level show she fits perfectly here, and tonight’s post gives her another chance to break through.

#9 Betterdoubledown (10‑1) — Closed strongly for third in her latest and reunites with the Holland/McNair team, who are winning at a powerful 39% clip this meet.

Longshot: #2 Shes A Streaker (10‑1) — Took a big class drop last time and made a bold mid‑race push before tiring. With another softer spot and an inside draw, she’s a legitimate price threat for a share.

RACE 2 — Pace, OSS Gold Leg 1, 2YO Colts & Geldings ($100,000)

Top 3

#5 Gogo Gadget (8‑5) — Looked professional in his first pari‑mutuel start, sitting close and blasting away in the lane with ease.

#2 Bulldog Xpress (6‑1) — A well‑bred $75,000 purchase who’s been right there in both qualifiers, including a narrow defeat by inches.

#6 Wheels Up (3‑1) — Fired home in 27 seconds in both preps and lands the ideal post for his first official start.

Longshot: #1 Calmbeforstorm (8‑1) — Displayed a sneaky good third‑quarter surge in his latest qualifier and enters a Gold division where debut form is unpredictable, making him an intriguing upset candidate.

RACE 3 — Trot, 2YO ($20,000)

Top 3

#5 Honcho (7‑2) — Won his qualifier with a late push and, despite a messy debut, still uncorked a sharp closing quarter. The talent is there once he stays steady.

#7 Great White North (4‑1) — Held his own in his lone qualifier against a highly touted foe and draws well enough to show early initiative.

#3 Sundae Royale (6‑1) — Knocked more than a second off his final quarter in his latest prep and proved he can sit and sprint effectively.

Longshot: #4 Prepare For War (8‑1) — Cut over three seconds from his first to second qualifier and adds Lasix tonight, hinting at another step forward.

RACE 4 — Pace, OSS Gold Leg 1, 2YO Pacing Fillies ($100,000)

Top 3

#6 Aceandaten (6‑5) — Crushed all three qualifiers, trimming more than six seconds from her first to her third. She’s the most visually dominant filly entering this race.

#5 Twin B Girl Talk (9‑5) — Overcame a crawling early pace and a five‑wide sweep to win handily on debut, flashing serious finishing power.

#1 Twin B Mayreau (4‑1) — Improved her time dramatically in her qualifier and comes from a proven stakes family, giving her tactical versatility.

Longshot: #7 Lyons Flurry (6‑1) — Won her lone qualifier with a strong stretch push from mid‑pack. Gold debuts for fillies are notoriously unpredictable, leaving room for a surprise.

RACE 5 — Pace, F&M NW$2,500/4 or NW$6,000/8 ($12,000)

Top 3

#4 Pretty Missy May (3‑1) — Delivered the quickest mile of her career last time, seizing command at the three‑quarter pole before getting nailed late.

#7 Glenboro (2‑1) — Drops again and has been finishing strongly in recent starts; also gets a positive driver change.

#1 Chiefs Dream Girl (6‑1) — Five top‑three finishes in her last six at this level show she’s ultra‑reliable even without winning.

Longshot: #9 Chelsis Choice (10‑1) — Scored at this class three back and now returns to a friendlier spot after tougher assignments. The outside post hurts, but her back class is better than most here.

RACE 6 — Pace, OSS Gold Leg 1, 2YO Pacing Fillies ($100,000)

Top 3

#4 Qued Up (9‑5) — The lone filly with a purse win already, taking charge mid‑race to break her maiden decisively.

#3 Money Carlo (8‑5) — A $175,000 yearling with a deep maternal line and two polished qualifying victories.

#5 Twin B Copacabana (4‑1) — Had traffic issues throughout her debut yet still finished with purpose, hinting at more to come.

Longshot: #2 Nzinga (6‑1) — Comes north after two improving Meadowlands qualifiers, and in a compact Gold field, any filly with live pace potential deserves respect.

RACE 7 — Trot, NW$1,000/4 ($10,000)

Top 3

#5 Buck Dancer (7‑5) — Controlled things from start to finish last time and turned back his only real challenger. He’s razor‑sharp.

#2 Crown Monarch (3‑1) — Improved noticeably in his first outing for a new barn, finishing with good trot late.

#9 Yes (8‑1) — A seasoned pro with over $639K earned and enough early speed to secure position despite the draw.

Longshot: #9 Yes (8‑1) — Even from the outside, his class and tactical ability make him a legitimate threat to land in the top spots at a price.

RACE 8 — Pace, OSS Gold Leg 1, 2YO Pacing Colts & Geldings ($100,000)

Top 3

#6 Stampede (9‑5) — Took a big step forward in his debut, shedding four seconds while chasing hard after a troubled start. Best post tonight helps.

#1 Th Benedict (9‑2) — Won his qualifier while buried until late stretch, then powered home. He’s a half‑brother to a millionaire and shows the same polish.

#5 The Swooper (7‑2) — Dug in bravely in his debut despite being uncovered around the final bend.

Longshot: #2 Tonite Show (6‑1) — A homebred with elite bloodlines who trained down south; his modest local lines may hide more ability than they show.

RACE 9 — Pace, F&M NW$20,000/4 ($30,000)

Top 3

#3 Carrera Sunset N (2‑1) — Fresh off a scorching 1:48.1 mile equal to a major stakes final, she’s simply the fastest and most dialed‑in mare here.

#8 Horizon Seelster (7‑2) — Also paced a huge mile while doing the heavy lifting on the front end, and now returns to a more manageable level.

#7 Madrid A (6‑1) — Riding a hot streak, including a career‑best win, and is dangerous regardless of class.

Longshot: #5 Grit N Grace (6‑1) — A legitimate Grade 1 mare who was boxed in during a blazing mile last time. With a better post, she’s poised for a clean trip and a big effort.

RACE 10 — Pace, F&M NW$9,000/4 or NW$18,000/8 ($22,000)

Top 3

#7 Avyanna (4‑1) — Finally gets a softer assignment after facing top mares, and her early speed can offset the outside draw.

#6 Absolution (7‑5) — Also finds relief after tougher company and has the tactical ability to sit just off the pace.

#5 Mybitcoin (9‑5) — Has been finishing well in her last two and should get an honest tempo to chase.

Longshot: #1 Kiss N (6‑1) — Last race was impossible for closers, but her back class is real. With any kind of stalking setup, she’s live.

RACE 11 — Pace, Pop Up Series Final, F&M ($30,000)

Top 3

#10 Sensationalize A (8‑5) — Swept both earlier legs and tightened up with a strong effort against far tougher on Cup night.

#9 Laneside Incontrol (9‑5) — Romped in her last two, proving she can win from anywhere — first‑over or on the engine.

#3 Swift Talker (4‑1) — Five straight in‑the‑money finishes show she’s perfectly suited to this group.

Longshot: #2 Stag Royal (8‑1) — Frequently hits the board against similar mares and could grab a minor share if the top two duel early.
