Fast and firm for the July 4th card — had winner of first and last yesterday but not much else!  I just saw the card for Saturday and it’s fantastic — just a reminder of what NY racing should be and highlights all the terrible cards here in the Spring/Summer meet.  Can’t wait for the Spa, but let’s try and get some positive energy going before opening day next Thursday.

In race 7, Mr. Massena (#6) will appreciate the 1 1/8 mile distance on the inner — stalking a moderate pace and holding off the closers.  Key in all doubles and pick 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 7.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
