Happy Friday-- I apologize for the late start. That crazy day job....

Anyway, it doesn't take too much searching to pick out the top five races of the weekend-- and this weekend we ought to extend the list to at least seven by turning the three Burlington races into one "entry" here.

1. The three Burlington divisions. Races 3, 5 and 7 on the Mohawk Saturday card. Should be great.

2. The New Jersey Classic. A very even field for a lot of money. Race 8 at the Big M on Saturday

3. The grossly under-publicized 5th race at the Big M on Saturday, featuring Mister Big, Mr. Feelgood, Total Truth, Bono Bests and South Park Hanover. Hey, even if the Big M doesn't want to spring for more than $42,000 for this "winners-over" race it deserves better billing than it has received.

4. The Open Trotting Classic at Mohawk-- Race 8, which features Corleone Kosmos, Great Success, Arch Madness, Green Day.

5. The Classic Oaks at Mohawk-Race 10. Susies Magic, Falls for You, Godiva Hall.

Did I miss anything?

Casual Breeze at Mohawk - Even if Snow White is out, it should be interesting to see those 3yo trotting fillies...

From Andrew: Thanks, Jessica. And thanks for contributing.

Andrew, you asked for an update on my colts (DALI, On The Brink) coming into the Burlington divisions.

According to Duane, the horses especially Dali are coming into tomorrow's races in exemplary form. Duane is raving about Dali and is very positive......anyway all systems are go and I hope the horses can perform up to out expectations.

From Andrew: Thanks, Aaron. And good luck.

That pretty much covers it except for all of us with our own horses racing somewhere. They immediately jump to the #1 spot...haha!

Even if they didn't want to spring for more than $42,000, a gathering of that magnitude deserves a name.

Who knows, an Editor might be persuaded that it's truly a gala night with three super features and perhaps somebody might actually show and watch.

Or does that not fall under the heading of MARKETING ?

Consolation prize to the Three Year Open Filly race #10 tonight at Mohawk which has Stylish Artist, Cuz She Can, All Accounted For, and Shake That Junk. Could be the cream of the crop for a very talented and competitive filly division.
