Watch this space for info on the Lebanon Horseman Benefit and my $16 Campaign. Barn 16 at Lebanon was destroyed. I am asking everyone I know to contribute $16. Or add $16 (I am donating $116) to their check so we will never forget the Ronnie, Turtle or the horses who perished. Waiting for info from OHHA on specifics. Giss

Race 1: 5 Fiesty Times- Risky choice off the layoff and a $4k Delaware sale price, but this is good enough to beat these if fit; 4 Gone Shoppin- Risky choice with all the xxx, but must consider off the qualifier; 9 Great Song- Risky choice from the 2nd their, but hot barn gets Stahl.

Race 2: 9 Dude’s Express- Has done food work locally and drops; 6 Mel‘s Z Tam- Another class dropper, but hasn’t made a nickel last 5; 4 Dialo Hanover- Fresh off a good return, maybe.

Race 3: 5 Rebel Cheer- Very consistent and may break through; 1 Abc Flower- Needs to finish strong, but has ability; 2 Onewinginthefire- Start cost him in last, better tonight, I hope.

Race 4: 2 Camlit- Continues to race very well & has several starts left in this class; 9 Seshjuan Style- Good local debut and seems to be okay on a half; 1 Genesis See Yah- Big trip last time, always hands around; 7 Buckshot Cheney- Put him on top when Tye gets a catch-driver.

Race 5: 1 Ohoka Dale N- Has had success here in the past and gets the rail at the bottom; 5 Dragon Rider- Impressed with a big close from the snowman in local debut; 3 Allamerican Magic- Fried by the fractions last time, gets a fresh set of hands here.

Race 6: 2 Dublin Dollars- Not real sharp, but has nearly as many wins as rest of field combined; 9 Tropicante- Last 2 efforts were okay; 1 Nico Mirabel- Lots of bubbles, figures with a good trip.

Race 7: 4 Bigboppr Bluegrass- Drops to the level of a dominating win six back; 7 Saucy Brown- Stah;s surprising choice over the 2; 6 Liltycantbedenied- Can’t deny the change of scenery might help; 1 Mor Of That- Best post in ages and can close.

Race 8: 5 Free For Life- J.D. knows him better than anybody, easy pick back at $3K; 3 Flash Dancing- Perfect trip last time for Jennifer Beals’ favorite pacer; 9 Barratry- Best of the rest.

Race 9: 5 Goalline Stand- Massive drop last time helped, can still play with these; 9 Detective- His connections are too good to ignore; 2 Solar Power Lavec- Racing well, but his battery may not be fully charged.

Race 10: 4 Townline Powerful- It took the snowman AND a parked every step trip to end his 1-2 streak; 3 Chain Of Command- Beat better just two back, major player; 2 Elm Grove Gerson- May be a bit braver off two wins; 1 Davey Pockett N- Good draw and loses Lasix, could surprise.

Race 11: 3 Robin Dontget- Moves up in very good form for Cvelbar Farms; 1 Winbak Len- Very interesting horse to watch and drive, slow last 1/4s worry; 8 King Mouse- Just a hunch.

Race 12: 6 See Buns- No chance last time from the snowman, second time Lasix tonight; 1 Tj’s Red Devil- Monster effort after the break, needs to mind his manners; 2 Tricky Tactics- Wins as often as the Browns, but has been hanging around lately.

Race 13: 1 Dd Cam Ram- Miserable trip last time, one more chance; 9 Fortune Ho- Always does good work but would like his nose on the gate; 2 Real Easy- Has gate speed, must finish better; 4 Blue Rock Joe- Very solid current form, watch for a price – could move up.
