Race 3
THE $100K THORS ECHO AT SIX FURLONGS
At one time No. 4 Big Macher would have crushed this field as he won the Grade 1 Bing Crosby back in 2014, he’s not the same horse nowadays but could get there off the long layoff, Peter Miller claimed No. 5 Got Even for $50k and now sends this 8yo gelding vs. this tough group, he will try and take them wire-to-wire. No. 1 Gold Rush Dancer also comes off a long layoff and could pop here. 1-4-5
Race 4
Optional $75k claiming 3yo go six furlongs. No. 5 American Pastime finds a field loaded with early speed as does No. 6 Kimbear, look for both of them to be mowing them down late. 5-6

Race 7
