We’re headed deep into the holiday season and we’ve got some chilly racing from Aqueduct for Thursday where we’re expecting fast and firm conditions. Let’s not waste any time and get right to work!

Aqueduct:

Race 8: Andiamo A Firenze - 1 pt win (US Morning Line Odds: 10/1)

New York bred allowance runners sprint 7 furlongs here and Andiamo A Firenze has always been a favorite of mine. A half to multiple Grade 1 winner on turf Firenze Fire, Andiamo A Firenze has been a bit of an underachiever compared to his brother but he doesn’t have to be Firenze Fire to beat this field. What I like best about this runner is the high speed he possesses. By far faster than anyone else in this field - at least early on. He drops to the lowest level in his career and has a bullet work since his most recent start. I look for him to wake up in a big way today.

Best of luck to all our members playing Thursday’s races from Aqueduct!
