Tuesday Empire Report

RACE 1 – Wide open! (2) MORNING HAS BROKEN seems to race well every week, and usually it all boils down

to trip – Kakaley has a lot of options from this spot, so maybe he can find a winning one. (5) WHOS PERFECT has

benefited from some pretty good trips this year but it’s also hard to ignore her 5 wins, especially dropping down to

25s tonight – dangerous player. (7) JENDEN STRIKE A has been doing excellent work vs. the 30s so it would be

hard to ignore her chances with tonight’s drop to 25s – the only real knock is the draw, but that should also result in

a much better price. (6) WOODMERE HARRIET used to struggle to win races here but she’s taken her last pair, and

3 of her last 5 starts – tough draw and the loss of Bartlett make things a little tougher, though. (3) TARGARYEN

EMPRESS was “sneaky ok” in 3 recent starts and picked up a 3rd in PA last week – good bomb for 3rd/4th. (4) ON

THE MONEY GB capitalized on a perfect trip in that win 2 back but may not be as fortunate tonight – still a threat

for a piece, though. (1) BIG BETTOR HANOVER was no threat in her last but raced well in her prior pair – may

need a bit easier, though. (8) TWIN B ECHO draws Post 8 after missing 3 weeks- that has us leaning towards others.

RACE 2 – (4) THATS A HUGE BEACH made the top from Post 7 upon arrival last week, yielded to the favorite

then almost was able to hold 2nd as the dominant winner drew off in the lane – could be sharper the 2

nd time around, and this may also be an easier spot. (5) GINGER TREE LIZ can be unreliable for sure, but she throws enough good

miles to at least consider in a field like this, as long as the price is fair. (6) BEE OKAY A flashed her first life in a

while 2 back and was able to build off that and pick up a victory last week, even if helped tremendously by a perfect

trip – tough draw, but still a legitimate threat. (2) DISARONNO HILL cashed in on a perfect trip 3 back but was a

no threat 4th in her next two – willing to include underneath. (1) GOT BEACH BODY shocked when 2nd at 51-1 two

back but tired badly when driven more aggressively in her next – maybe she can bounce back for a piece with an

easier trip? (3) WILDCAT ANTONIA was claimed for $25K last start and immediately drops in for $20K tonight –

hard to endorse with a red flag like that! (7) NITE TIME DEAL seemed to be in a live spot last week but really fell

apart in the lane after her bid was turned back – tonight’s draw won’t help. (8) HARPER SEELSTER reversed form

in that upset win 2 back but quickly reverted to her lesser form last week...and now lands Post 8.

RACE 3– (3) BEANZY FRESH came into his last with an 0 for 17 career slate but still was an easy winner,

breaking his maiden with ease – faces essentially the same bunch tonight, and there’s no reason to think he can’t

take another. (2) AVENGER FORCE seemed way overbet last week (3/2) but did race much better, even if a no

threat 2nd best to the top choice – looms the one with the best chance to knock him off tonight. (6) LENNON HANO

VER gave it a decent speed try in his local debut last week, holding well for 3rd behind the top pair – suppose he can

give then a bigger tussle tonight, though the draw won’t help his chances. (4) HURRIKANE MIKI is just 1 for 27

lifetime but races well enough for pieces at times– possibility for the bottom of exotics. (1) PINE BUSH UP DRAF

T has 5 local starts and never earned a purse check – at least he may be able to grab a tiny one tonight. (5) FOLLY

ME didn’t function in his local debut, finishing distanced – he really should have been made to qualify off that mile.

RACE 4 – (1) RACEY RACH N has been back her on game but stuck in some bad spots – she was actually a fast

closing, pretty close 4th last week (the beaten lengths on the charted line are incorrect), and may be able to pull off

the mild upset if things go her way. (5) PEMBROKE SOUTHIE took 5 weeks off after a disappointing try on 4/1,

qualified back behind TWIN B JOE FRESH, then was a nice 2nd in NJ last week – she started off this year 6-4-2-0

locally, and deserves plenty of respect returning to YR. (4) AMBUSHED saw her 5 race winning streak snapped last

week when #3 was able to get to her from the pocket – would surely be no surprise to see her start a new one tonight

(3) YS SENSATIONALCITY had been stuck chasing #4 a few times and was finally able to turn the tables on her

last week – another who would be no surprise at all. (2) MALUKA MISS N raced well in her last pair and another

easy trip could see her land somewhere on the ticket. (7) IDEALINFUN missed 3 weeks but a few barnmates in the

same boat raced well Monday night – tough spot, regardless. (6) CRÈME DELIGHT has been struggling a bit.

RACE 5 – Tough race: (2) TYRA MAKES BANK has been going some big miles (with brutal trips) but hasn’t been

able to get her picture taken in a while – she could easily outrace that 15-1 ML price, and is one of several with a

chance here, depending on the how the race plays out. (3) ONEDERFULBEACH was a good one to play against for

a while but she comes into this off two straight wins and deserves legitimate respect in her current form. (5) COALF

ORDSNSHINE GB came up a little short (as the favorite) in her Hilltop return last week – she could be sharper here

and absolutely is worth considering if the price is decent. (1) TWIN B ALLURE is hard to gauge right now but she

gets major post relief and could come up with a much bigger effort. (6) REAL LADY SADIE was a game 2nd to the

runaway winner last week and seems to be back on her game – she draws outside several live rivals, however, and

will need some trip luck for a chance from this spot. (4) JUST ROSAS LUCK moves to another new barn but has

burned too much $$ this year – leaning towards others. (7) FREESTARFLIGHT is having a rough year – she drops

in for $20K tonight, and may have gotten a bigger look with a better draw. (8) I LOVED HER FIRST may improve

in her new barn but may need a much better spot before we see her best.

RACE 6 – (2) BOORAA N had been sharp every week for this $30K tag and finally got her picture taken last time –

we’ll give her the edge to repeat, though she definitely faces some legitimate competition. (1) LADYCORONA was

an ok 4th for a $50K tag 3 back and should be an excellent fit here – her barn has also been hot lately, and that makes

her worth some extra consideration. (3) DISTANT LOVER elects to take a double jump after a form-reversing win

(as the favorite) in her first local start, after joining our leading barn – deserves respect, even against these. (4) STAY

HAPPY should appreciate the drop from 50s to 30s but she’s off her best game, and may end up overbet – has to be

respected, but make sure to get a fair price if using on top. (6) STORMY SERENA was moving up in class off

losses last week but was still able to deliver the 24-1 upset – will be tougher from this spot to replicate that mile. (5)

SALE EL SOL has been good for a long time but the month off makes her hard to endorse with any confidence here.

(7) PI NE BUSH MAGA is racing well every week...but the class jump AND 7 hole may be tough to overcome. (8)

AT THE HOP is another that’s racing well, but ends up with a bad draw while up in class.

RACE 7 – (1) DEETZY had no chance after drawing Post 7 last week but still managed to take home a check –

moves all the way inside and he’s racing as well as any 13YO we can remember...lots of appeal at that 8-1 ML price

as he continues his quest to make it to $1M in career earnings (he’s at $917K right now). (4) BOILING OAR was

helped by a “fall apart” race last week but any 8th to 2nd rally deserves respect...gets Kakaley back, a better draw,

and worth a look tonight. (5) PEACE OUT POSSE never goes a bad one, can handle any trip, and always one to

consider whenever the price is fair. (2) NIGHT HAWK was an absolutely opportunistic winner 2 back but that luck

went the other way when he got roughed up into submission last week – looking at a good trip here, and that could

help him snag a piece. (6) TRENDY TEEN made only 2 starts last year but he’s back racing every week now and he

brings a 2 race winning streak into this – he also draws outside while moving up another class, and that may slow

him down just a bit. (3) MYULTIMATEBAXTER N is in the best form of his U.S. career right now but he’s also

making a big class jump – he’ll need to prove that he can be as effective with these better ones.

RACE 8 – (6) ESCAPE TO AMERICA was shut out of any holes last week, forced to race parked every step and

still was battling to the to the top of the lane– he’s sharper than he looks, and may be able to pull off an upset tonight

if some racing luck comes his way. (3) THE BIGBOSS A makes his U.S. debut for a barn that has really thrived

with their imports for the past couple of years – deserves automatic respect. (4) MY ULTIMATE BYRON A looked

beat last week but was able to battle back and knock off KINGSVILLE...who came back to win first over on

Monday night – he jumps up in class, but has beaten better in the past...possibility. (1) STELLAR YANKEE is

moving up 2 classes but the rail draw could help in that department - he’s very sharp right now, and not out of the

question here. (2) YOROKOBI N has raced well a bunch of times in this class but he remains winless on the year

and may be better used underneath, rather than on top. (8) RACING RAMPAGE has struggled this year bit finally

picked up his first win of the season at PcD last week (in a lifetime best 1:50 mile)– it could help him build back

some confidence, but tonight’s draw may burst his bubble. (7) SHAZAM BLUE CHIP has been unable to get back

to last year’s top form and is still winless in 2025 – Post 7 isn’t going to help his cause. (5) EUPHORIA N drops a

notch but may still find this bunch a bit tougher than he’d like.

RACE 9 – (2) QUICK MENU has been holding form very nicely as she moves to another (top) barn for tonight–

she gets major post relief, and that may be enough to get her over the top here. (1) IRIS SEELSTER took a while to

get rolling last week but was actually pacing very strong at the wire – has to be worth a look at that 15-1 ML price

with the good draw. (8) FIGHT NOT FLIGHT lands all the way outside but she won from Post 7 two back and was

a close 2nd from Post 8 last week – hard to ignore at that 12-1 ML price. (5) IRON MISTRESS has missed 3 weeks

but that didn’t seem to affect barnmates in the same boat on Monday night – she’s a proven winner in this class

when on her best game. (4) NIKASA N is on the upswing, though she would have won off last week’s trip if at her

“best” – ok for underneath. (6) DELITFULCATHERIN N drops back to 20s after a dismal effort in her last –

sticking with others, for now. (3) PINK RUBY wasn’t “good” last week, but she was “less bad” than she has been –

we’ll see if she can continue to improve. (7) CHARMING VIXEN lands Post 7 and is 5-0-0-0 here this year ($0 in

earnings).
