Iammrbrightside N (Jordan Stratton)
is back in town and poses a considerable threat from the rail after
unsuccessful trips to Tioga Downs and Saratoga harness for owner Blindswitch
Racing Stable. He took right to the Meadowlands mile with a pair of impressive
wins against lesser last month and his best might be good enough here.
Posted right next to him in an
attempt to twist the tongue of race caller Ken Warkentin is
Iwillmakeyousaywow (Dan Dube) who's been grinding out a decent living for
owners Oldford Farms, Buter and Marion. He dominated a Meadowlands short
series in April and has the versatility to adapt to any trip.

Ginsburg) leaves from post eight, is back in form after a short break and
was a 1:49.3 winner in his last start for Odds On Racing. In a demonstration of
great longevity, the now seven-year-old has paced faster than 1:50 in each
season that he has raced beginning at age two and is inching in on career
