Race 1

ARUSHINGCHILL comes in off a nice win here at Turfway against similar in her second start back form the layoff and is the choice for the win. PROM THEME drops in class and looks like the one to beat. JUDSONPRETTYGIRL didn’t show much around two turns last time out and returns to sprinting tonight.

Race 2

CAHOKIA makes her first start since being claimed by Baez in early December when she won impressively in her first attempt on the Turfway Polytrack. A return to that form should make her a winner against a short, but well-matched field. IZZAEVEN has also been off since early December when she won against similar here at Turfway. She gets in light again today with Wright and is a definite contender. WILD CARD HIT comes in off a nice win in her first start over the Polytrack and would be no surprise here.

Race 3

FIDDLELINA ran a nice second at this same level in her last start and looks like she’s in a good spot to pick up the win today. DANUBE RIVER finished just behind the top pick a few starts back and is a threat. MEAGEN’S HOLIDAY has a chance.

Race 4

SUCKER PUNCHED ran a nice second behind an impressive winner last time out in his career debut. He should move forward off of that one, give him a slight edge to pick up the maiden win here. HOWLING WOLF has been second in three of his four career starts and is the one to beat on the move in for a tag for the first time. HIGH DRIVE didn’t show much in his debut, but drops in class and picks up Jimenez.

Race 5

FUJITA FIVE was second best at odds on last time out on the drop in class. He figures to be a short price again today, but still looks best here with Jimenez keeping the mount. T C’S LUV was a...

Race 1

MI ERMANA TINA ran a decent race last time out coming back from a layoff since May. She figures to move forward off of that one and is the choice for the win here. SPEND AND SPREE showed some improvement in her second start back from the layoff. She has five wins over the track her and looks like a contender. KAABOND was third against similar last time out and would be no surprise here.

Race 2

FAMOUS JAMEIS moves back down in class to the same level where he was second two starts back. He picks up Jimenez tonight, give him a slight edge to pick up the maiden win here. PHILLIPS BEST DAY has been second in three of his last four starts and looks like the one to beat. CRITICAL SUMMER shows two solid efforts in his last two starts and looks capable of winning here.

Race 3

ALWAYS LOVE APRIL drops in class after two even efforts in her first two starts over the track. She shouldn’t mind the move back around two turns tonight and should be able to pick up the win here. TUCUPITA is inconsistent, but has beaten the top pick in the past. MY REGENCY LADY hasn’t shown much recently, but has to be considered on the drop in class.

Race 4

Race 5

CASCATA, GOLDSTAR RAIDER TAKE OPENING LEGS OF MIDNITE HARDY

Pompano Beach, FL…February 1, 2016…Cascata and Goldstar Raider were victorious in their respective divisions in the opening leg of the Midnite Hardy Late Closing Series at Pompano Park on Monday night.

Cascata, an eight year-old gelded son of American Ideal, was last half way through the mile but rallied late with a :29 finale to nail the photo finish win in 1:52.2 for Dave Ingraham, subbing this night for owner-trainer-son Dustin Ingraham.

Cascata’s winning margin was a neck over Van Gundy Hanover (Rick Plano) with Bold Willie, cutting panels of :27; :55.1 and 1:22.3, third, just a nostril back in the picture.

Mr Right Now was fourth after being prominent in the garden spot all the way while Mystical Valentine picked up the nickel in the sextet.

After the event, driver Dave Ingraham said, “He’s just a rugged war horse. He’s got a lot of starts under his girth—almost 200” –actually 191—“so I don’t use him too hard early hoping for a lively pace. We got it tonight going three-quarters in (1):22 and a piece and he picked up the marbles at the end. It was an ideal trip for him.”

Cascata now has 33 wins in his 191 career starts with earnings of $155,239.

It was the initial victory for owner-trainer Dustin Ingraham since he...
