12/27: AQU Returns (4th-9th)
Wednesday's Santa Anita Opening Day ended as one of the year's highlights with a lucrative late P4 score for more than $1,700 on a $1 play. Outstanding prices on very logical Kip Deville in the Sir Beaumont ($16.20) and Latent Heat ($13.40) in the Malibu drove the bonanza quad with post time favorites Pirate's Deputy ($6.00) and Silk Kerchief ($11.60) bookending the Baffert and Frankel stakes winners.
The surprising return, nearly twice the parley, more than made up for Friday's silly $9.00 loss in the Calder P4. It also represented the third time in five days we were able to steer through a four race gauntlet. If there was any question that the P4 is the best wager for modest investors at the track, Tuesday's return should be a reassurence. Hope some of you had it... Wednesday brings the return of NY to the scene after a nine day break, and a good group of events in the P6 skien invited attention... SELECTIONS -- Aqueduct, 12/27 (R4-9) 4th: NYB-MSW, 2yo fillies, 6f (P6, P6) Tough way to start a P6 ticket if you're playing it.. 1. #9 Freakazoid 10-1: 3rd Hills' miss goggled, cuts back; Faced some decent gals 2. #3 Positive Charge 3-1: 2nd Ramon sticks with Pregman bay by Jump Start A. #4 Abbyroar 9-2: WON Rice reaches out to hustling Lopez for Forestry filly B. #1 Timely Punch 7-2: Arroyo great with Bush LONGSHOT ALERT: #10 Nantasket 30-1: 4th Scary outsider from capable Micelli drew 13 hole in debut and 'off slow/wide'..

I watched a Maker trained horse (Montstar) last night roll away in a 3 yo allowance - but I didn't see that coming today from Baby Yaya.
