Some insights into tonight’s stakes program (reminder, after this evening, we’re AWOL until Friday night, June 8. Do not panic…counselors are standing by)

3RD RACE – (1) MACON GEORGIA A has not resembled his previous self of late. Did last versus lesser three back from pole and may find way versus these.

4TH RACE – (6) SUMATRA has been ingloriously inconsistent of late, and being adult-table road kill last week didn’t help. Disposed of this level in previous.  

5TH RACE – (6) ALEXA’S POWER finally rids herself of pair of eight-hole efforts in nine-horse fields. Solid close in lone elim, wins Lismore with half a trip.

6TH RACE – (4) TRUMP NATION is timidly gazed to win 28th Art Rooney Pace. New co-owner (and new trainer) did not influence, but late elim moxie did.

7TH RACE – (4) LONG LIVE ROCK could not match strides with freakish runaway in last. Wins 4-thru-6 draw here, which ought to allow for some options.

9TH RACE – (5) SMALLTOWNTHROWDOWN gets a very generous venue after Sunday’s double-move, ‘peeked’ beat down. Taken to take another adult trot.

10TH RACE – (1) GIVENUPDREAMING went the distance versus lesser in last, one of half this field entering off win. Just missed this class two back, perhaps.
