(9) MIRACULOUS DESBI N hasn’t quite had the form of others in this field, but his turn of foot could easily allow him to track down rivals who are a touch stale at the moment. (7) JK BLACK GOLD has been consistent and you know he’ll be in the mix. He looks to build on a strong runner-up finish in his latest. (6) POSEIDON SEELSTER owns a recent runner-up finish and has tactical early speed with a good post.

Race 2: HARVEST SERIES: ONT SIRED OR BRED 3 YO C&G, NW $60,000 LIFETIME OR NW $30,000 IN 2026 (MIN 5 STARTS) AS OF SEPT 30TH 2026. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. LEG 1.

(4) STORMONT FRIEDBOY tried a salty bunch in his latest. He should fit much better here and get back to winning form. (3) PETE GREEN rallied sharply in his latest and has stayed consistent since the win three back. (2) UP TO NO GOUDA comes off a convincing maiden-breaking victory and could step forward in a spot where he has little to lose.

Race 3: 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 1 RACE (WINNERS FOR A PURSE OF $12,000 OR LESS 2 RACES) OR $10,000 LIFETIME. NO ALLOWANCES.

(10) MR MYSTIC has been figured out in just two starts for the new barn and looks capable of overcoming the outside post. (9) ROSE RUN CAPTAIN had little chance in his first Mohawk outing given that trip. Some early speed could set him up. (2) JETT OUT EARLY has repeatedly raced competitively at this level and gets a favorable inside draw.

Race 4: NW $2,900 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $9,000 LAST 8 STARTS. (W/O $26,500 LAST 8 STARTS N/E.) AE: N/A $1,980 P/S IN 2026.

(2) SMILES FOR MILES has put together an excellent season and is still firing quick miles as the calendar flips to November. He could easily bottom these out. (3) TRUMPSTER BLUES is second back now and held his own against tougher rivals. Hard to overlook a new shooter in a stale field. (4) ODDS ON BRAHMASTRA finally draws a better post and a different field that shouldn’t be as salty. I’ll use him underneath.

Race 5: NW $26,000 LAST 4 STARTS.

(3) DALTON SHARD N has back-to-back near miss finishes against Open company. I think he gets over the hump tonight. (1) JORDY N used another powerful rally to finish third in the same Open. He’s dangerous with a favorable trip. (4) DONT DROP THE BALL comes off a convincing victory and has enough early speed to challenge the established Open performers.

Race 6: HARVEST SERIES: ONT SIRED OR BRED 3 YO C&G, NW $60,000 LIFETIME OR NW $30,000 IN 2026 (MIN 5 STARTS) AS OF SEPT 30TH 2026. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. LEG 1.

(9) CHEESE DREAMS was a competitive fourth in a tougher Harvest Series. I think he has the class to be a major factor if those miles are repeatable. (6) LIQUID rebounded nicely last week and should be able to work out a stalking trip. (1) BELIEVE N SPARKS has been improving in every Mohawk outing and should be able to work into the mix regardless of trip.

Race 7: HARVEST SERIES: ONT SIRED OR BRED 3 YO C&G, NW $60,000 LIFETIME OR NW $30,000 IN 2026 (MIN 5 STARTS) AS OF SEPT 30TH 2026. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. LEG 1.

(5) STORMONT FAST BOY makes his Menary barn debut which could unlock more for this Muscle Mass gelding. (4) CRUNCHINTHEODDS was runner-up in the same Harvest final. He possesses the speed and draws much better than his latest which came against tougher horses. (2) IN THE BLACK enters off a victory at Flamboro and could add value to exotics with the right trip.

Race 8: NW $6,000 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $12,000 LAST 8 STARTS (W/O $18,500 LAST 8 STARTS N/E).

(2) SAULSBROOK VICTOR is second back at Mohawk and draws a much better post this week. He is the class of this field. (8) LITE UP THE WORLD was a strong runner-up in his return. That was a much better outing than what he was previously showing. (10) WHY WOULDNT YA was a competitive fourth in his latest start. He can get involved despite drawing the outside post.

Race 9: NW $12,000 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $24,000 LAST 8 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $80,000. AE: NW 6 RACES OR $115,000 LIFETIME.

(7) BORDERLINE MOBBY comes off a decisive victory and appears capable of repeating with another aggressive effort. (6) FIGMENT was a strong runner-up behind Borderline Mobby. He can turn the tables with a better trip in his second start back. (4) CODENAME CIGAR BOX won impressively with a wire-to-wire victory in his latest and should be a major pace factor again.

Race 10: HARVEST SERIES: ONT SIRED OR BRED 3 YO C&G, NW $60,000 LIFETIME OR NW $30,000 IN 2026 (MIN 5 STARTS) AS OF SEPT 30TH 2026. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. LEG 1.

(4) HALL OF FEAR has a nice turn of foot but needs to be given a better trip to allow it to blossom. Tonight could be the night. (3) COLD CREEK NACHO used a late rally to finish second in his latest. He has the closing ability needed to contend. (10) GOLDDIAMOND has plenty of early speed to overcome the outside post. It’s just a matter of if he can finish after taking pressure.

Race 11: 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 3 RACES OR $56,000 (OS $72,000) LIFETIME. AE: 3 YEAR OLD OPT. CLM. $60,000. ALLOWANCES FOR AGE.

(7) REALLY BRIGHT hasn’t had the trips go his way since shipping up North but clearly has the speed to pace with these. (5) ALCHEMY HANOVER enters with consecutive victories including last week from post ten. (8) BETTOR TALKER has a sharp turn of foot and could take advantage if the pace gets hot.

Race 12: NW $1,250 LAST 4 STARTS (W/O $8,000 LAST 8 STARTS N/E). AE: NW $24,000 IN 2026 (MIN 10 STARTS). AE: NW 2 RACES IN 2026 (MIN 35 STARTS).

(7) ACEFORTYFOURAPOLLO was a fast-closing third on in his latest which suggests he is ready to deliver a winning effort with the right trip. (5) CAPTAIN INCREDIBLE has been competitive in consecutive starts and possesses enough tactical speed to threaten throughout. He’s just a bit of a hot head at times. (4) MAJOR FERNCO N has just one win this year but has peppered the board and it typically comes against fields like this.

Race 13: NW $2,900 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $9,000 LAST 8 STARTS. (W/O $26,500 LAST 8 STARTS N/E.) AE: N/A $1,980 P/S IN 2026.

(2) LAKERS BANK has plenty of early speed to get himself into the mix. It could be all he needs to secure a perfect trip against many stale rivals. (7) WHATCHULOOKIN AT was a narrow runner-up finisher as the heavy favorite last week. He is well positioned to make amends. If (5) ITS MAJOR MAJOR A can stay healthy, he should be able to provide a better outing second back. Who doesn’t love a little 2-7-5?
