#1 VALEDICTORIAN (8/1) IS THE LEADER OF THE SPEED BRIGADE FOLLOWED BY #8 XENOBIA (8/1) AND TAPIT TODAY (9/2).  CLOSERS ARE LED BY #2 FEEL GLORIOUS (6/1), #5 BEAUTIFUL LOVER (2/1). AND #4 VARENKA (6/1).  OBVIOUSLY A WIDE OPEN SCRAMBLE WHERE THE CLOSERS PROBABLY HAVE THE EDGE AT THIS DISTANCE ON THE TURF COURSE.

10TH RACE  – MONMOUTH CUP (G3) $300,000

#10 BODEXPRESS (6/1) IS EXTREMELY FAST AND SHOULD BE IN FRONT A LONG WAY. #9 BAL HARBOUR (7/2) AND LONGSHOT #7 JOEVIA (20/1) WILL BE IN HOT PURSUIT. #8 JUST WHISTLE (6/1) IS THE LEADING CONTENDER FROM BEHIND ALONG WITH ML FAVORITE #2 MONONGAHELA (3/1). HARD TO IGNORE LONGSHOT #5 MATH WIZARD (10/1) AS HE SPORTS THE HIGHEST CLOSING FIGURE. WE WILL SEE IF THE MAIN TRACK FAVORS THE FRONT RUNNERS.

11TH RACE – UNITED NATIONS (G1) $300,000

IN A RACE THAT IS GOING TO BE VERY SLOW EARLY, THE COME FROM BEHIND RUNNERS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STAY CLOSER. #2 STANDARD DEVIATION (7/2) AND #1 ARKLOW (5/2) ARE THE BEST OF THE CONTENDERS. LONGSHOT  #8 CORELLI (10/1) MAY BE A THE SURPRISE PACKAGE IN THE DRIVE.

12TH RACE – HASKELL (G1) $1,000,000

#2 AUTHENTIC (4/5) SEEMS TO HOLD THE EDGE OVER #7 NY TRAFFIC (7/2) EARLY. A PAIR OF LONGSHOTS #4 AND #6 AT 20/1 WILL HAVE TO OUTRUN THEIR ODDS. THE ONLY CLOSER THAT SEEMS TO HAVE A LOGICAL CHANCE IS #1 DR. POST (5/2).

13TH RACE – WOLF HILL STAKES $75,000

#11 AMERICAN SAILOR (5/1) SHOULD GET THE LEAD WITH #9 SHEKKY SHEBAZ (5/2) IN CLOSE PURSUIT. #5 DUBINI (9/2) SEEMS THE TOP CLOSER, WITH #2 LONHTWIST (8/1) AND #4 SMART REMARK (8/1) NOT FAR BEHIND HIM.

14TH RACE – MOLLY PITCHER (G3) $250,000

THE FAVORITE #1 SHE’S A JULIE (5/2) IS THE TOP EARLY SPEED AMONG THE TOP CONTENDERS. HOWEVER, LONGSHOT #3 GOTHAM GALA (12/1) MAY BE QUICKER WHILE #9 SWEET SAMI D (15/1) AND #7 OUR SUPER FREAK (12/1) CAN APPLY EARLY PRESSURE AS WELL. TOP CLOSER IS #5 VAULT (9/2) JUST AHEAD OF #6 QUEEN NEKIA (12/1).
