Race Two:

VIRADIA. This Callie’s Joy-bred filly by Distorted Humor (the mare had three winners from four starters) should take to Aqueduct’s wet surface like a “duck takes to water”. I also like the outside starting post. This Sky Mesa-bred filly is making the precipitous drop from MSWs to today’s 30k claimer. Two races back this 3-year old nearly broke her maiden , that despite hitting the gate. The filly’s trainer, Linda Rice, does particularly well with horses that were beaten favorites. One caveat: Don’t expect much in return at the windows. This filly should likely be used as part of a double, exotics, or multiple-race wager. Straight bets are likely reserved for the more “well-heeled” among us. Junior Alvarado is in the irons. Frankly, finding horses to put in behind my top choice is, at the very least – difficult. Others: , ,

Race Three:

THE CAKE IS A LIE. I believe this Sir Whimsey-bred bay filly moves up on an “off” track (a surface she’s never run on before in her, thus far, four pari-mutuel starts). This is this lightly-raced filly’s third start off a layoff (I like that angle). In addition, this 4-year old appears to like the Aqueduct oval, as evidenced by her two board-hitting efforts in her two “Big A” starts. Gary Gullo – boy is he having a solid meet! – is this filly’s conditioner. This Jump Start-bred filly has been sliding down the claiming ladder. Paco Lopez reprises the ride. Others: , ,

Race Four:

GORGEOUS CHARLI. This Speightstown (Gone West)-bred gelding should relish the wet Aqueduct oval. This 6-year old’s breeding says he should glide over the “Big A” surface like a waterbug. All this Hi Beautiful-bred gelding need do is to break alertly from the gate and let his jockey, Paco Lopez, ration out his speed. I don’t expect much value, but a win is a win (multi-race wagers or exotics may be in order). The most capable conditioner, Chris Englehart, is this gelding’s trainer. Others: , ,

Race Five:

OUR WHIM. Another Sir Whimsey (Jump Start)-bred should enjoy the wet going. The outside post should help (I believe if there’s a track bias, it will favor outside starting horses, especially in sprints). Steve Asmussen, the Hall of Famer, from both Gettysburg (that’s South Dakota) and “the streets of Laredo” is this mare’s conditioner. It’s “Manny Being Manny” (not Senor Ramirez), but the very capable jinete, Manny Franco. Others: , ,

Race Six:

SUSAN’S FUNNYBONE. She drops out of MSWs, albeit at Finger Lakes, into the claiming ranks. This gelding’s pedigree, especially “on top,” suggests she should handle the wet going. That top-side lineage includes: D’wildcat (as Cole Porter scripted in “Anything Goes!” that’s “De-Lovely”. Charley Baker trains; Junior Alvarado is in the irons. Others: , ,

Race Seven:

ANALYZE YOUR LUCK. I like this aptly-named 3-year old colt’s connections: jockey Manny Franco; trainer Todd Pletcher; and the Repole Stables. I’m of the belief that this morning-line longshot has a shot in this non-graded NY-state-bred non-graded stakes, the Rego Park. I also like this colt’s outside starting post. In this colt’s only sloppy-track start, he won. I belief a repeat of that effort, albeit at one panel less, is a possibility. I’m always looking for value. Others: , ,

Race Eight:

CONQUEST TWISTER. Until recently, this bay horse has been competing against much better. I guess my only concern is that I’m not enamored with this horse’s starting post (I still believe that the outside will be the place to be). It’ll be up to Manny Franco to work out the trip. Jeremiah Englehart – he does well with both sprint and dirt starts – is this horse’s conditioner. Now, that I look back at the DRF, he also does well with horses entered in claiming races. Others: , ,
