AQUEDUCT Race 1- Pick 5 play Thoughts: In Race 1, it is going to be fun to see who wins the race between the #1 OCASEK, #2 SHREVEPORT, #4 HARRODSBURG and #5 ARMY TIMES.  They are all well-bred, especially OCASEK who Spendthrift dropped $440K on.  All four of these horses are going to have successful futures.  […]

AQUEDUCT Race 1- Pick Five play Thoughts: In Race 1, I am hoping the speed of #3 QUALITY STONES will outlast the up-and-coming success of #1 MELTING SNOW.  Stones will probably go off 2nd or 3rd choice and she gets a weight break with the bug jockey and the trainer is 18% with the blinkers off.  I spread […]

AQUEDUCT Race 2- Pick Four play Thoughts: In Race 2, I will be keeping it simple with the two morning-line favorites #4 LONG TERM and #8 PIONEERING SPIRIT.  They are the only two horses in the field dropping out of maiden special weights and either one could get the job done based on their past form.  […]

GULFSTREAM PARK Race 2- Frostedbird #4 Thoughts: #4 FROSTEDBIRD is dropping in class and stretching out which are two angles I love in these cheap maiden claimers.  The Bird did not have the best start either in the last race when getting out a bit tardy, but showing good speed which should lend well in this […]

AQUEDUCT Race 3- Pick Three Thoughts: In Race 3, #4 GRANNY'S CONNECTION has been too tough for anyone to handle as of late, trouncing two consecutive fields while in hand.  In Race 4, I feel that #3 IN TRAFFIC has the best potential after breaking her maiden two back and then throwing in a clunker last […]

AQUEDUCT Race 8- Pick Three Thoughts: In Race 8, I am taking the entry of #1 FULL MOON FEVER/#1A OUSTER who form a very strong pair for the level, with Ouster being the best of the two after pairing up back-to-back 90+ Beyer speed figures in his last two races.  I am also taking #5 WHITTINGTON […]

AQUEDUCT Race 4- 50 cent Pick Five Thoughts: In Race 4, #5 SPELTERINI is a money burner but has the best overall figures in the field.  This is her race to lose unless #1 COOLCALM COLLECTED is a runner and I will definitely be covering with her.  In races 5 and 6, I am taking the […]

GULFSTREAM PARK Race 1- Heathguard #5 Thoughts: I think #5 HEATHGUARD made his move a bit prematurely in his debut causing him to get caught late in what was an excellent first showing on the turf at Tampa.  He now ships in and gets Castellano in the irons which I think is a major upgrade.  if […]

AQUEDUCT Race 1- Spatial Reality #7 Thoughts: This is a perfect spot for a first-time starter to win because the form in this maiden claiming field is very average, so we have the "first-timer against pukes" angle in full effect here with #7 SPATIAL REALITY.  And with further diagnosis, this filly has been working out very […]

AQUEDUCT Race 1- Global Image #3 Thoughts: Bobby LaPenta and Madaket Stables saw fit to throw down $300K on #3 GLOBAL IMAGE, which is a lot for a New York-bred horse.  Brad Cox is easily one of the best trainers in the game and has always been known for his strength in the debut and maiden […]
