Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
MO DONT NO (5) Resumes after a 29 week break. Ran home strongly to win last start at this venue but down in distance. Have to respect the recent stable form. Serious contender. PARTY POOPER (3) Led all the way when winning by a margin of 1 1/2L last start at Mahoning Valley. Rocco Bowen and Timothy E Hamm are a combination worth noting. Strong chance. MUTINY (1) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at Mahoning Valley and drawn well. Should be going forward early. Respect in this event. DARK VADER (2) Finished well when 3rd beaten by just short of 8L last run at Mahoning Valley and has a positive gate. Jose A Bracho rates highly. Possesses the talent and has some chance. Something for the Multiples: SAMMY'S SMILE (8) QUIET AMIGO (6)
