Race 1 - #7 Legion of Boom - last 2 show readiness after short layoff..assuming Vinny is leaving tonight for position..using with 5,8,3
Race 2 - #7 Winemaster Hanover - a Harmon claim and should be upclose..using with 2,9,8
Race 3 - #1 My Spirit Soars  moves in and drops..needs to avoid a first up trip..using with 2,6,7
Race 4 - #9 Jacksrluckytoo - rounding into shape and has left in previous Big M efforts..hope  he is tonight..using with 2,3,6
Race 5 - #4 Rockin Robert - steps up off wire to wire win but movesin and get BM tonight..using with 7,3,2
Race 6 - #9 Calvin B -CC gets along well and loves this track..Ready?..using with 1,8,3
Race 7 - #4 Elrama N - proving to be a great claim..just missed in big last 1/2..using with 8,1,3
Race 8 - #6 Ontario Success - roughed up in latest back down to class he handled..2 hole trip ?..using with 9,3,8
Race 9 - #3 Pickwick - toss latest effort..gets BM back and will be upfront..using with 6,9,4
Race 10 - #1 Mr Blissful - moves in and not a lot to beat in here..using with 10,3,2
Race 11 - #3 Ring Warrior - used hard thruout and steps up..pace should be easier..using with 6,4,1
Race 12 - #5 One More Miracle - hopefully leaving as race is void of speed..using with 3,2,4

Another fabulous piece of harness racing judging in Race 10 last night.
The 2 horse clearly drifts out into the 10 and sticks a wheel squarely under the 10 turning for home.
The drifting was unprovoked and cost the10 a better placing.
Instead of taking the 2 down (Little Jimmy Marohn had to get at least 4 wins last night), they ruled that the 1 drifted off the rail.
It took them 10 minutes to figure this out.
The 1 did indeed drift out, but AFTER the alleged "non interference."
After 35+ years of watching and wagering, I'll say that I've seen far more races than the judges. And I still cannot understand how some of these clowns keep their jobs.
As they straighten for home, Marohn clearly has his wheel in the center of the 10.
From all angles it looks as though he never reacted to the phantom "drifting of the 1 horse, the great Drew Monti driving. Monti does drift when tired, but only AFTER the subject of the inquiry.
Not only is bad racing being jammed down our throats in NJ, but now bad judging is taking over.
