#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Nena's Gone Wild (Hernandez, Rhone)118/5-1

2: Kool Karma (Wade, Rengstorf)118/3-1

3: Sassy Mama (Murray, Bethke)118/12-1

5: Cloudless Blue (Quinonez, Padilla)118/5-1

6: Charley Paints (Santos, Berndt)118/2-1

7: Island Bender (Roman, Rengstorf)118/4-1

ISLAND BENDER (7) flashed some speed in her career debut racing in the slop against special weights. Drops down to claiming and the experience she gained will be beneficial. CHARLEY PAINTS (6) debuts for the leading connections and has looked good in the morning but racing first-out for a tag is curious. KOOL KARMA (2) has a full brother who won his debut by four lengths for these same connections.

2 Minnesota Turf Championship. 11⁄16 miles on turf. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Purse: $75,000.

1: That's Not Funny (Bridgmohan, Berndt)119/3-1

2: Jose Patio (Hernandez, Biehler)113/6-1

3: Angel's Magic (Lindsay, Van Winkle)119/5-2

4: Stagecoach Boys (Quinonez, Berndt)119/9-5

5: Bens Malice (Roman, Van Winkle)119/10-1

STAGECOACH BOYS (4) has been close this year with a win and four seconds. Should be enough pace in here to setup his closing kick and the added distance is a bonus. THAT'S NOT FUNNY (1) makes his third start of the summer and beat his stablemate and top pick in last. Bridgmohan has been hot on the lawn lately. ANGEL'S MAGIC (3) will attempt to establish a clear early lead and dare them to catch him.

3 Minnesota Sprint Championship. 6 furlongs. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Purse: $75,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Xavey Dave (Gallardo, Robertson)123/7-2

2: Thealligatorhunter (Roman, Padilla)123/3-1

4: Roses by Liam (Santos, Padilla)119/10-1

5: Bayou Benny (Hernandez, Scherer)119/8-1

6: Sir Sterling (Wade, Rengstorf)119/5-1

DOCTOR OSCAR (3) ran spectacularly when last seen on the dirt cruising to a nine-length victory while posting a triple digit speed figure. If Quinonez breaks cleanly, he'll be tough to pass. XAVEY DAVE (1) is a versatile runner from the tough Robertson barn. May not be his ideal distance, but if the top pick falters, watch out for this one. THEALLIGATORHUNTER (2) loves the Shakopee strip winning nine-of-eleven in his career but hasn't been able to beat the top sprinters lately.

4 Northern Lights Debutante. 6 furlongs. State bred. Fillies. 2-year olds. Purse: $100,000.

1: Xtreme Diva (Gallardo, Robertson)120/7-5

2: A Primera Vista (Cedeno, Raven)120/2-1

3: On Speed Dial (Quinonez, Van Winkle)120/9-2

4: Go Lee Ann Go (Santos, Berndt)120/5-1

5: Pearl Button (Hernandez, Richard)115/8-1

XTREME DIVA (1) graduated in style in her debut as she splashed away in the slop by a dozen lengths. Two workouts since that win and Robertson knows how to prepare them for an optimal effort. A PRIMERA VISTA (2) ships in from Delaware Park where she broke her maiden in a turf sprint. Was very professional in her debut and will try to stalk and pounce. ON SPEED DIAL (3) won easily in her first start back in July. Will need to improve to compete.

5 7½ furlongs on turf. State bred. Open. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $32,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Gabriel's Legend (Harr, Donlin, Jr.)123/5-1

2: Artie Below Zero (Santos, Donlin)123/15-1

4: Passing Time (Murray, Tracy)119/10-1

5: R Voo's Taboo (Berrios-Lopez, Westermann)118/8-1

6: West Island (Hernandez, Rengstorf)119/9-2

7: Angel of Attack (Gallardo, Berndt)119/6-1

8: Color Me Legendary (Wade, Lund)123/5-2

2: Lock It Down (Roman, Martinez)119/5-1

3: Midnight Current (Hernandez, Berndt)119/7-5

5: Scent of Success (Gallardo, Robertson)117/8-1

6: Thunders Rocknroll (Wade, Rhone)119/4-1

7: Molly's Angel (Quinonez, Padilla)119/12-1

MIDNIGHT CURRENT (3) absolutely hates to lose and hasn't done much of it lately only losing twice in her last ten starts. Top jock climbs aboard again and her tactical speed makes her versatile. LET'S SKEDADDLE (4) starts for the leading barn along with the top pick. Has beat her barnmate this year but comes off a two-month layoff. SCENT OF SUCCESS (5) is good but hasn't been able to beat the top two.

7 7½ furlongs on turf. State bred. Fillies and mares. 3-year-olds and up. Allowance. Purse: $32,000.

1: Strabella (Berrios-Lopez, Donlin)118/12-1

2: Diggs Won (Bridgmohan, Peters)123/12-1

3: Shezonezestreet (Hernandez, Roberts)123/10-1

4: Harlow's Harmony (Quinonez, Biehler)123/5-2

5: Roundabout (Sosa, Wolff)118/15-1

7: Miss Carmen Cibo (Roman, Chleborad)119/6-1

8: Burnt Match (Murray, Rengstorf)123/9-2

9: Ana (Wade, Scherer)119/4-1

BURNT MATCH (8) easily broke her maiden by ten-lengths in last while under a hand ride. Is third off the layoff, had a bullet work on September 1st and is bred for the lawn and the added distance. ANA (9) has a win and two thirds in three tries on the Shakopee sod. Has tactical speed to be involved early and retains Wade. DIGGS WON (2) would appreciate a hot early pace to accentuate her closing kick.

8 Northern Lights Futurity. 6 furlongs. State bred. Open. 2-year olds. Purse: $100,000.

1: General Battle Axe (Quinonez, Padilla)120/12-1

2: Jonny B Goney (Santos, Berndt)120/5-2

3: Outofthedark (Roman, Padilla)120/8-1

4: Hat Trick Jack (Murray, Bethke)120/12-1

5: Superstar Swank (Gallardo, Robertson)120/4-1

7: Mach Two (Hernandez, Biehler)115/15-1

8: Westdakota (Sosa, Bedford)115/30-1

9: Frosty View (Hernandez, Berndt)115/3-1

10: I Wish I Could (Wade, Biehler)120/8-1

FROSTY VIEW (9) ran extremely well in his debut while breaking from the rail a tad slowly, rushing up to challenge and tiring late. Now has experience, gets an outside post and top jockey climbs aboard. SUPERSTAR SWANK (5) won his debut professionally while stalking the leaders and pulling away late. Comes from a family of good sprinters. JONNY B GONEY (2) has speed and comes from the same barn as the top pick and the trainer has won this race the last three years.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Clickbait (Cedeno, Robertson)119/7-2

2: Saint Sarena (Roman, Biehler)119/12-1

3: It's Her Time (Hernandez, Robertson)117/8-1

4: She's My Warrior (Quinonez, Padilla)123/4-1

6: Charlie's Penny (Wade, Berndt)123/3-1

CUPIDS CRUSH (5) returns to her preferred distance after trying two-turns in last. Faces a tough group of elders but adds blinkers and last two workouts jump off the page. CLICKBAIT (1) is fifteen-for-sixteen in the top two locally with eight wins. This tough mare can never be dismissed. CHARLIE'S PENNY (6) is back to defend her title after winning by five-lengths last year but her current form can be questioned.

10 5 furlongs. State bred. Open. 2-year olds. Maiden claiming: $40,000. Purse: $16,000.

#: Horse, Jockey, TrainerWt./Odds

1: Latin Force (Santos, Sweere)118/5-1
