12/8: AQU & FG Late P4's

[Kasept]

Wednesday was a strange afternoon at Aqueduct with the serious inside bias making itself especially evident and emboldening a number of front-runners that ordinarily would quit. But exactas in the 4th and 5th and a nice trifecta in the nightcap made up for the whiffs in the 6th-8th. Thursday, though we offered no written selections, a live on-air capping of the Fairgrounds 8th on ATRAB yielded a huge score with a $50 winner keying a $3,800 superfecta, $2,600 tri and $264 exacta with the 4 horses we offered.

Friday we take to both ovals to swing at the Late P4's in Ovone Park and Orleans Parish...
