Bob Pandolfo offers his picks for the Mohawk Racetrack card on Saturday, September 3.
Race 1: Notreadytobenice, Rockaround Sue, Bound To Rock, Azorean Night (5-1-4-2)
Race 2: Hypnotic Blue Chip, Major Hottie, Aracache Hanover, Meirs Hanover (1-2-4-6)
Race 3: Maureen Rocks, Dreamfair Eternal, Anndrovette, Laughandbehappy (1-2-7-9)
Comments: Maureen Rocks is an up and coming mare who now has 11 wins in 15 starts. Her last was an impressive career best 1:49.1 from off the pace over this track and she has a shot to upset the great Dreamfair Eternal.
Race 4: Livefreeordiehard, Bestofbest Hanover, Warrawee Koine, Ok Commander (2-1-5-6)
Race 5: Pastor Stephen, Luckycharm Hanover, Blue Porsche, Traverse Seelster (5-4-1-3)
Race 6: Mcboogie, Shakerattlenrock, Special Forces, Escape The News (3-8-4-6)
Race 7: Economy Terror, American Jewel, Romantic Moment, Big Mcdeal (6-5-2-4)
Comments: Economy Terror turned in a solid two move effort from post six when second best behind undefeated American Jewel in last. That race proved that she is the real deal and she has a shot to upset.
Race 8: A Rocknroll Dance, Speed Again, Hurrikane Kingcole, State Treasurer (5-3-7-8)
Comments: The Metro is a tough race. A Rocknroll Dance broke early in last, chased a wicked pace in a good spot and drew clear with a quick final quarter to post a big upset. That was only his third start and he showed sharp improvement. Speed Again is a hard hitting grinder but no lock here. Hurrikane Kingcole set a blazing pace and excusably tired in last. If Luc can leave and sit in he can upset and his chances also move up if the speed is holding.
Race 9: Highbeta Blue Chip, Lennon Blue Chip, Grin For Money, Cole Diddy (2-5-7-6)
Race 10: Foiled Again, Won The West, We Will See, St Elmo Hero (2-5-4-6)
Race 11: Charlie De Vie, Whiskey Tax, Slip Into Glide, Windsong Hercules (9-5-2-4)
Race 12: Bradley Scott**, Big Bay Point, Twin B Warrior, Red Star Zoro (1-8-2-5)
Comments: Bradley Scott has been facing tougher at the Meadowlands, takes a key drop and can upset.
Race 13: Faucon Stena, Power Off, St Pete Star, Windsun Callum (3-10-1-5)
**Best Bet — Bradley Scott 12th race
