Horse of the Night

FIGHTING GYPSY (12th): : She was much the best last week and she has the back class to also handle this hike. Moving inside is a big plus for her. She’ll go as fast a sneeded to get and keep the lead and can also hold off this field and key tonight’s Pick Five wager.


Press Box Parlays

WIN : Dancingwithwolves (5th) Fighting Gypsy (9th).
PLACE : E Michelle (2nd) with Tommys King (10th).


Tonight's Long Shots

BRENNA’S HANGOVER (2nd Race)
MAN OF INFLUENCE (6th Race)


Keep an Eye On These

BON IRISH (1st) : Dropper has been bucking post further out.
R U THERE (4th) : He got stuck inside and pushed back as the favorite.
ONE WIRED BUNNY (8th) : Never in position to rally in time.


Backstretch Info

ODDS ON TEAL (3rd) : A well-bred Arstplace first starter out of a Western Hanover dam. This filly was un-raced at two after she sold for $75,000 at the 2006 Harrisburg Sale. Her sister is Southwind Tio (1;51.4, $153,150), a Breeders Crown freshman finalist in 2006 when she won a Champlain and Great Lady stakes in Canada.
