10/29 SATURDAY

AQUEDUCT seems to be going through a stretch where the favorites are hitting, due for a change today?
R1 - #10 Pimenova (4-1) can make every post a winning one.
R2 - #1A Golden Purchase (20-1) sprinting is more in his wheelhouse - low pct. connections insure price will be right.
R3 - #2 Luni Sima (6-1) has shown an affinity for the one-turn mile.
R4 - #7 El De Chimi (9-2) he's got the speed, does he have the heart to hold it?
R5 - #3 Morello (4-1) Baby Yoda will be tough to beat, but this guy won a Gr 3 on this course in March.
R6 - #7 Stop War (7-2) seems like I'm landing on a lot of speed horses today, pray the track is kind to frontrunners this afternoon.
R7 - #6 Icy Stare Down (12-1) high percentage angles for Cox all over this one.
R8 - #2 Boston Post Road (9-5) I can't find any reasonable scenario where this one loses.
R9 - #4 Jaxon Traveler (7-2) you give a horse like this to Irad? its almost unfair.
R10 - #10 Frenchboro (10-1) hard to tell how good he is, I'll be watching the tote.

HORSESHOE INDIANA
R7 - #10 Tizzy Jojo (12-1) back to sprinting, she's sitting on a big one.
R8 - #5 Too Bad Justice (8-1) burned a lot of money since return, but better odds on tap today make him playable - the Eggleston double.

investing $48.00
Let's go!

Still chalky at Aqueduct and the speed wasn't holding - made for an ugly day. I should have posted the whole Indy card - killed it there.

11/2 WEDNESDAY tough card, but I'm going to give it a try

R1 - #1 Bet On Drama (3-1) has been a money burner, banking on the blinkers making a difference.
R2 - #4 Isabella Smile (10-1) best efforts have been when going sprint to route - not much to beat, so I'm drawn by the price.
R3 - #4 Murricane (6-1) may be overmatched, but looks to have the best closing kick in a race where speed should break down.
R4 - #6 Ageless Endeavor (4-1) despite Andy Hernandez.
R5 - #3 Stormy Bonnie (10-1) lone speed, competent bug boy.
R6 - #1 Yellow Dress (7-2) Linder can get them ready off the break, hoping for a fair price.
R7 - #1 Mythreebutterflies (9-2) back to back on Linder as I cross my fingers and hope the two favorites falter.
R8 - #3 Birchmount Rd (6-1) throwing out the last debacle as a fluke.
R9 - #1 Jamminwithbrandon (8-1) Best Bet
R10 - #2 Flashing Diamond (2-1) in great form, tough to beat here but may not be the post time favorite.
R11 - #7 Creme Caramel (5-1) would like a good start for a change.

11/6 SUNDAY hangover day

AQUEDUCT
R1 - #7 Words of Praise (6-1) Pletcher, Brown, Clement, and Maker all with runners dropping to claiming ranks for the first time. I'll take Rosario on the speed horse.
R2 - #1 Mercante (2-1) logical favorite - working like a champ.
R3 - #6 Rosie's Alibi (7-2) had a pretty easy go of it to break her maiden at Parx - stepping way up here, but bred to improve with the added distance.
R4 - #5 Scramble (7-2) has shown plenty of interest in first two tries, now brings a bullet to the party.
R5 - #4 Smokin Hot Kitty (6-1) Kitten's Joy filly has improved with every race. Now stretches out and drops in class.
R6 - #6 Nabakov (4-1) won his last on 9/17 and hasn't raced since - but has FIVE published works in that time. I see a big run coming.
R7 - #4 Cascais (5-1) troubled trip in a sloppy debut, a good start and he could make every post a winning one.
R8 - #1 Tapple Cider (12-1) I've backed her in her last two tries and lost, but willing to go one more with the addition of JC to the team.
R9 - #4 Champion's Dream (3-1) obviously didn't care for the slop in the Champagne - rebounds today.
R10 - #3 More Than Work (7-2) hasn't been seen since February at The Fairgrounds - raced well there on a turf track that favored closers. His style plays better here - as long as he's fit.

WOODBINE
R1 - #7 Newport Agent (10-1) improving (66,74,80,82) - no reason to think he's hit his ceiling.
R4 - #7 Classy Whisper (10-1) always in the mix - I'm taking anything better than 5-1.
R9 - #5 Green Fleet (12-1) claimed by a brutal trainer so the odds will stay high, but Stein stays so I will, too.

Great Job here Mel
Great thread.
Lots of close calls
Respect
Thank you, YY, you're right - a lot of near misses. Looking forward to making a run back toward the black once Fairgrounds opens.
