1 CATSKILL STEVE'S PICKS MONTICELLO RACEWAY TUESDAY, JULY 22, 2014 CHECKING UP ON CATSKILL STEVE (MONDAY) 5 TOP WINNERS 10 LISTED INCLUDING $20.20 & $17.00 TICKETS. $ TRIFECTA TOPS EXOTIC HITS WHICH INCLUDE 4 EXACTAS, 3 TRIFECTAS, $297.00, $198.50, $ & $39.40 PICK THREES AND 2 DDS. RACE GOLDEN FOOL CAM DAN KADANDY ALLEMANDE HANOVER 2-1 GOLDEN FOOL had brutal parked out trip from 8-hole through hot pace against tougher; drops and finds better spot. CAM DAN KADANDY isn't exactly a win machine going 0 for 20 on the year and 6 for 111 lifetime but gets best post since finishing second at this level on 6/23 and switches to Bruce; may perk up in small field. RACE BURLESQUE LATIN LYRIC COMMUNITY SPIRIT BET ON LINDY 6-1 BURLESQUE brushed to the top and drew off with :57.3 final half. Two back missed by a head after pacing a :57.2 uncovered final half. Sharp mare looks faster than these at short price. RACE 3

2 1 5 RISE ABOVE IT ERICHS BEST MIXED MEDIA GONE BABY GONE 5-1 RISE ABOVE IT Pocono invader closed powerfully to win last in a lifetime best 1: year-old switches to the half-miler and should adapt quickly for high percentage barn. ERICHS BEST finished evenly chasing sparkling mile in Catskill debut. Will likely be following top one and may be a factor in the late stages. RACE JEANIE MARIE COME DANCE WITH ME FOUR STARZ CONWAY ER GRACE 5-1 JEANIE MARIE wore down lesser despite long overland trip from similar spot. Steps up but has rounded into form for top barn and can take another. COME DANCE WITH ME broke in the pocket at 6-5 in local debut. Mare is capable of giving top one a battle at a price but will need best effort and a clean trip. RACE THERON SEELSTER** GET YOUR OWN DIAMOND TIARA 9-5 THERON SEELSTER finished well rallying wide with :28 final quarter from tough spot. GET YOUR OWN was uncovered in same race as top one and missed by a neck in game effort. DIAMOND TIARA had her winning streak snapped when over matched against tougher. Returns to proper level looking for 17 th seasonal win but this a tough field and she'll have to prove she can bounce back. RACE 6

3 1 7 KZ BEZZ* ABLE YANKEE IM A NICE GIRL ROOTINTOOTINFILLY 6-1 KZ BEZZ has been chasing better fields through fast miles in recent; draws outside but can leave the gate and go down the road or sit the pocket. RACE DREAMLUCK GRANDPA DON GIDDYALLYOUGOT ROZEWOOD 6-1 DREAMLUCK was used twice to the top in :27.2, paced two back to back :28.4 quarters and gave way late in solid try. 11-year-old returns to best level and looks hard to catch. RACE REFLECTION OF BLUE AMAZING QUEST LAUXMONT CAPRI 7-2 REFLECTION OF BLUE just missed after going first up through :57.4 final half. 6-yearold loves this track and appears on edge in third start back from The Meadowlands. RACE NET JET PURPLE N GOLD DOC'S WHISKY DIAMONDSFOREMBER 4-1

4 RACE MACHS LITTLE FILLY CAMEO AND PEARLS TERROR RISING RED EYE BLUE CHIP 6-1 MACHS LITTLE FILLY grinded uncovered a long way through hot pace in much improved try in first start on lasix. Finds a good spot in what could be a contested pace and can brush past. RACE COOL FLYING BABY LIGHTNING MADISON PEMBROKE BOOGIE ONE MORE HUG 9-2 COOL FLYING BABY finished well in race she likely needed. Should be tighter off that mile and can move forward. RACE MAYFLOWERMOONSHINE NOBLE'S GRAND SLAM BETTORSLUCKYSTREAK LOLAS CRUISER 4-1 In a race loaded with former class masters that have amassed over $2M in their careers and an extremely tough race to handicap, I'll go with MAYFLOWERMOONSHINE whom, like the others doesn't win often these days. This one has always raced well in The Catskills, draws a good spot and should be able to outgun the 1 & 2 and try to control it or sit the pocket. RACE 13
