This is the richest night of racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The headliners are the Metro Pace and the Mohawk Million, and the supporting cast is also very strong. Races 7-10 are big money stakes which include two Pick 3 sequences that will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7 Metro Pace Final-$1,000,000 Purse (9:15 PM EST)

5-Fallout (5/2)-Did get a cozy trip, but when asked, exploded down the lane to roll by in its Elimination. Won't be 7-1 here but could offer some value. Tim Tetrick should have the Tony Alagna pupil close to the leaders at the top of the lane. Draws a choice post and will look for the upswing to continue at a fair price.

Race 8-Shes A Great Lady Final-$532,000 Purse (9:44 PM EST)

2-Chantilly (3/5)-Might not have the pedigree of others. But the Nick Gallucci freshman filly is a perfect 6 for 6, and didn't do it with mirrors. Looks solid to make it 7 for 7 at Mohawk with regular pilot James MacDonald in the bike.

Race 9-Canadian Trotting Classic Final-$713,000 Purse (10:13 PM EST)

1-Paquet (6-1)-Looking for someone who could upset if the fractions are extra spicy, and the probable odds-on chalk Highland Kismet gets a taxing journey trying to stay on the point throughout. Jody Jamieson needs an alert beginning and to be within reach of the leaders around the last turn. If so, the Muscle Mass colt closed in 26.1 in the Elim and probably has more to give.
4-Highland Kismet (6/5)-Karl is thought of as the best 3-year-old trotter, but the margin could be shrinking and there are still some big stakes on the calendar. Kismet is a perfect 2 for 2 since the trotting hopples have stayed in the barn. He was very good before the equipment change, could be getting better and this is his race to lose.

Race 7-8-9 $10 Pick 3

5/2/1,4
Total Bet=$20

Race 10-Mohawk Million-$1,000,000 Purse (10:45 PM EST)

2-Maryland (9/5)-Won the Wellwood at Wbsb, went off at 17-1, drew off by over 4 lengths and looked like a 2/5 shot. Then shipped to Hoosier for the Haughton, was bet down to 6/5, and performed great again. The Marcus Melander trainee has been dominant in the last 2 races leaving from post 8 and 9. Has booked over $575,000 so far and appears to be getting better.

Race 8-9-10 $10 Pick 3

2/1,4/2
Total Bet=$20
