Aqueduct - 12/1

[pmacdaddy]

Finally got COLD in NY. Supposed to hover around freezing today with a stiff breeze. Hope they stay on the Turf.

Forecasted to get down in the teens tonight, so the Turf course may be frozen by tomorrow AM. Potentially last licks today for the Turf runners today?

No strong opinions for me in early races, but late pick4 looks playable. Gonna work on a set of tix with Pointman.

Happy to hear from anyone with opinions on the sequence or other races for that matter.

Good luck today!

AQU stays On Turf for Sat,

Just a couple worth taking a look at...
In the 1st, Jim Jerkens put's in Jack's Express.
In the 9th, watch for Wingman.

The jocks were not happy at all about running on it in the 6th yesterday - in fact had a meeting in the paddock and were thinking about refusing to ride unless it was taken off, then thought better of it...

This is the last day I imagine, even though there were some written in the book for Sunday all the races are on the inner...I'm sure Andy has the scoop

[gales0678]

The John Kimmell horse can run a bit in the 2nd , i'll use him with the Asmussen horse in the early DD

[pmacdaddy]

Woah...scratches change my pick4 pretty substantially. Time to upgrade some "B's and C's"...

Anyone know how the Turf races were won yesterday? Didn't get to watch them and running around this AM.

[pmacdaddy]

Good work above with Raynicks Fan!!!

Nice price to boot! $18.20

If someone can post how DD shakes out, I would appreciaate it. I had Raynicks with #4 and #5.

[hockey2315]

Thanks. Only had it for $2, but I will still take it.

[pointman]

In the 8th, Oprah Winny looks quite tough, but Trombetta usually brings them in live. Hope Steve hits this thread today, usually has a handle on the live Trombetta horses, would love to hear your opinion Steve. Andy, your opinion on this one would be appreciated as well.

[pointman]

I stink.

Punched those ticket before looking at the tote because I was running around. Also thought the 1A was in (which is just plain careless).

Knew I had to include JV horse in the 6th, but thought he was very beatable. No regrets keeping the #8 in there, but if I waited to finalize until I saw the board I likely would have used American Image. He was taking good action and I excluded him completely.

It was the llowest quality leg and the one I was most uncomfortable with. Yet I still played it without looking at the board. What a dip sh*t...

Don't be so tough on yourself we all do stupid things. Look at me leaving out the Favorite in last Saturday's Night Cap because he was trying Turf for the 1st time.

Anyway here are my Big A Plays for the Day:

All late Pick 4s:

3,4 / 2,8 / 2 / 2,7,8,9 - $16

3,4 / 2,8 / 2,6,8 / 2,7 - $24 (Had to include K. Starlet as I own 2%)

8 / 2,8 / 2 / 2,7,8,9 - $8

Also made some plays in the Calder all Stakes Pick 4 and an exacta in the feature at the Fairgrounds as it was the thorograph ROW. I've been doing pretty well playing their ROW.

Would have posted sooner but I was busy clearing some items on the honey-do list.

Good Luck to all playing along.

[pmacdaddy]

Good luck HH.

I guess if that what it takes for me to learn my lesson... It's not so bad...

I will NOT be playing any pick4's without watching the first leg tote. MAYBE if I have an exceptionally strong opinion in the first leg. Even at that, it just makes no sense to give up that advantage, even if you don't adjust your play.

[pmacdaddy]

Good luck HH and Pointman. Both live to 2,7 for a buck in the pick4.

I agree with the ability to look at the board for the first leg, especially if it is "weak" race like a MSW or Md. Claiming or two year old race.

Come on R Clear Victory.
