Gulfstream Park:
Race 8: 2nd@ 1.00/1
Liam’s Kiss went to the early lead then was taken back to stalk. She took the lead again turning for home but was overhauled by Nostalgic who was just better today.
We’ve been getting battered and bruised at Gulfstream this week, albeit with minimal selections. I’m going to take the day off from Gulfstream as I don’t love their Friday card and head to Aqueduct for a quick race. After looking at two race cards I only liked one runner for the day and she’s below. I’d rather not push it when I’m not feeling these races and save our bullets for the classier races coming up this weekend. In the meantime we’ll look to make some money with:
Friday pick for Aqueduct:
Race 3: Awesomenewyear - 1 pt win (US Morning Line Odds: 20/1)
Bottom level fillies and mares sprint 6 furlongs and I’m hunting for a bomb in this field because let’s face it, our 7/5 favorite lost by 21 lengths last time out and our 5/2 second choice put up a speed figure last out that was 6 points lower than our longshot selection. Awesomenewyear hails from a low profile barn and while she hasn’t set the world on fire with her races, she has shown some consistency in that I expect her speed figure to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 while the favorites have been inconsistent. The other benefit she has is that with all the speed signed on, she should have every opportunity to close from off the pace. Bombs away!
Best of luck to everyone playing Friday’s races from Aqueduct!!
