Thursday, September 12
ALEXUS EH (NW3000) trotter was nowhere to the lane, wheeled wide and flew home to just miss in huge closing effort.
MACHO POLO (CLMHCP15/18000) went down the road at over 7-1 and dug in gamely but was nipped by the odds-on favorite.
BETTORS WESTERN (NW3350) tucked, sat to the lane, angled out closing stoutly but just missed to the pacesetting favorite.
OCEANVIEW MAGNUM (CLMHCP12/15000) closed a ton from third over to win going away.

NAUGHT LADY B (NW3100FM) tucked early, got shuffled, rallied gamely over the sloppy track and just missed.
UNDERCOVER STRIKE (NW6900) roared home from second-over to win going away.
BENS JENNA (NW2FM) closed stoutly from third-over and earns a look in next race or two.
BUTTERMILD HANOVER (NW6100FM) followed wide from far back and got up for second in 4-horse photo.
Saturday, September 14
BETTOR UPS (NW11000) wanted out passing the third panel but got stuck on the rail, finished mildly and might have done more if he had gotten out when he wanted.
ROYAL RENEGADE (NW18000) finished late and wide in quick last panel.
EASY LOVER HANOVER (PRF) tipped wide and rushed home with strong pace. Can take another.
ROCKIN IN HEAVEN (NW11000) wired the field in strong effort and should be hard to beat in next.
Monday, September 16
CARLISIMO (NW3) was fourth over in the flow to the stretch, rallied gamely and handily between horses and bears watching in next race or two.
DAY DELIGHT (GRASSROOTS) yielded twice, sat pocket, tipped heading home, challenged, appeared beaten but refused to fold and battled back to the end.
LOVEDBYTHEMASSES (2YO) finished best from third-over but just missed.
DELIGHTFUL TERROR (GRASSROOTS) left to the lead, yielded and was shuffled, tipped passing the third call and closed strong to earn a long look in next race or two.
Tuesday, September 17
HALO ITS ME (GRASSROOTS) rallied game, kept coming and nailed it but was taken down for cutting some cones. She did what she did but the game rally had to be remembered.
NOTHING BUT MUSCLE (NW5) rallied gamely uncovered and just missed. Stay with the thoughts and do not ignore.
MANHATTAN NIGHT (OntS) put in a ferocious rally fron the back of the pack and was a very game second at 56-1.
SPLURGE ON ME (OntSS) was a huge wire to wire winner in last and should win some more.
