SAT - AQU & CD PK4s, HAW, WO, & HOL

[Bogey]

Aqueduct POST SCRATCHES


R6 – MSW 43k (2yo 5.5F)

#1 Make History – Steady string of works including a bullet from the gate on Monday 11/16. 2nd
#6 Forward Harch – Violette 23% with 1sters and this one has been training well at AQU for his debut. 3rd
#7 Citizen’s Arrest – Gets a much better draw for 2nd race after being stuck on the rail on a sloppy sealed track at BEL. WON
#2 Sunrise Smarty – West Point 1ster runner attracts Dominguez. Hushion red hot to start the meet.

R7 – OC50k / N2X (Turf 8.5F)

#5 Harlow’s Court – Lightly raced 4yr old has 2 wins and 2 seconds in 4 career starts.
#10 National Kid (Brz) – Last seen on opening day at GP in January; Undefeated in two starts.
#1 SCR
#4 My Man Lars – The cut back in real estate might due the trick for this NY bred. 3rd

R8 – G3 Discovery Handicap

#5 Gone Astray – Has been handled with care and is strictly the one to beat here. Has the potential to make some serious noise in the handicap division in 2010. 3rd
#3 Birdrun – Crushed Alw company at BEL in last.
#4 Haynefield – Was life and death to hang on in the Empire Classic. Might show the effects of that race in the final furlong. WON

R9 – MSW 44k (Turf)

#4 Target Locked – Coming off a 2nd at MED in an off the turf affair. Fits well. 2nd
#2 Academy Run – Has been a tough luck 2nd in both career starts. WON
#8 En Fuego – This money burner can’t be left out in the gimmicks.
#6 Fearless – Not thrilled about the layoff, but Donk/Johnny V are hard to leave out.

PK4 – 1 2 6 7 9 / 4 5 6 8 10 / 5 / 2 4 = $50


Churchill Downs POST SCRATCHES


R7 – MSW 46k (2yo f 8F)

#2 Pirate Queen – Tried the sod in debut earlier in the meet with little success. She’s fired back to back bullets since that effort for this.
#7 Jackpot Joanie – High regards when Asmussen put this filly in a G3 at WO as maiden. WON
#4 Rendition – More than capable of waking up on the stretchout to a mile. 4th
#8 Toll – 2nd to a runaway winner in debut from a difficult post. 3rd

R8 – Bet On Sunshine 60k

#7 Custom for Carlos – Missed by a nose in the Gallant Bob at Philly (Earned a 111BSF) and ran a scorching 1:08 flat in the G3 Jersey Shore at MTH this summer. WON
#2 Grand Traverse – Won his comeback at KEE on Halloween.
#1 Wild L – Makes 3rd start of the year after taking a year off. Matz trains this Iowa bred.
#6 Due Date – A definite off the pace threat and Margolis wins at a 30% clip Turf to Dirt.

R9 – G3 Cardinal Handicap (Turf 9F)

#2 Tizfiz – She’s won her last two turf races, which includes a stake at Remington Park versus the boys.
#5 Long Approach – Hall of Famer Sheppard starts her right back against graded company for her return. Desormeaux up. Enough said.
#9 Lemon Chiffon – Only beaten 2 lengths in G1 Yellow Ribbon at OSA. Ships in with a purpose. 3rd
#1 You Go West Girl – Proctor absolutely on fire and this mare is trying for her third victory in a row. 2nd

R10 – Alw 50k N2X

#2 Warrior’s Reward – Towers over this field on paper as he goes 6 panels for the 1st time. 2nd
#5 Escrow – His best races have been on the dirt (4-2-0-0).
#3 B Z Warrior – Went to DEL to get his 2nd win and now cuts back to 6F. Great looking animal (Check out the blaze this chestnut sports underneath the blinkers).
#8 Posse Cat – Wikes second runner should be closing late of a piece. 3rd

PK4 – 2 4 7 8 / 1 2 6 7 / 1 2 5 9 / 2 5 = $64 ($.50 play)


Hawthorne POST SCRATCHES

R4 – OC50k / N1X (2yo 8.5F)

#5 Officer McNeal – Catalano a lethal 42% Sprint to Route and this 2yr gelding is by Milwaukee Brew out of a Awesome Again mare. 3-1 or better is worth the plunge. 2nd
#4 Beenie – Makes 6th start at 6th different track. Won his only dirt race around two turns.
#7 Iron Champ – Graduated in 4th start when going two turns. 4th
#8 Devient Behavior – Should be in good position turning for home. 3rd

W/P - 5
Tri Key - 5 / 4 6 7 8
Tri P/W – 4 6 7 8 / 5 / 4 6 7 8


Woobine


R8 – G3 Kennedy Road

#10 SCR
#1 Jungle Wave – In very good form and his biggest BSF (103) came from this post.
#8 Field Commission – Switches back to the poly where he’s had success as well. 2nd
#9 El Brujo – Impressive in Kentucky, but now must face elders for the 1st time.


Hollywood Park


R8 – G3 Hollywood Prevue (2yo 7F)

#3 Indian Firewater – Makes amends for odds on defeat with better draw.
#5 Macias – Baffert looking to complete the exacta.
#7 Tribal Face – Looking for him to add some value to the Tri.
#4 American Lion – Playing against sharp winner at KEE as he faces more experienced runners. I do like the fact he’s been in SoCal for about a month.

Good Racing Luck

HH, I'll wait until the scratches are announced because the two AE's deserve serious consideration. Thanks
