Aqueduct Thursday

[cees with dees]

In the first, Indy's Forum is back in the basement after a pretty good run of good races.
Handles these easily if still in one piece.
Chippewa Court should be a nice price after one tough trip and one wet track since claimed by Contessa. Probably the right beneficiary of a pace collapse with the presence of Calling My Colors at the rail.
In the second, Motor City Mama is much better than her morning line makes her out to be and would be extremely tough if Maragh gunned her from the bell.
In the third, McVictory draws well in a paceless race and someone has to inherit the lead. If not she than maybe Dana's Bell.
In the 4th, Franklin Delano has the best turf form of the bunch which isn't saying much. Gilt Edged and Long Con are the most likely to improve on turf.
Skipping the fifth though will be spreading deep for the pick 4.
In the sixth, Ruling Decision takes a massive drop in class but for barn that is unreliable at best.
A single for me but without confidence.
In the 7th, Seperatist gets the call for hot barn and need only work out a voyage to the hedge to be a major factor.
In the 8th, Wadi Suki was scratched the other day in easier spot but draws well here and has a huge shot in wide open race.
In the finale, Southside Babe is up from Florida with a stretchout and class drop. Tough field but inside draw should work to her advantage.

Good luck to all.

in the 6th i like timber cat because it looks like he is improving and was racing wide of regal court who seems to be decent for that level. if timber don't go that wide this time he wins.

[theguarantee]

1 - Thinking a price in the first is likely. Only going to use 2: 1 Calling My Colors, last race fractions were sizzling and hung alright...looking back at the record on a fast track and I think Jaqi might wire them. If Spunky is anywhere near right is the class of this field so will use in case, but likely for a price anyway.

2 - Doremif looks to be back in form for Dutrow and just can't leave out. Not a Peep is the other use for me...Motor City Mama I think has a chance but going to make the cut there and will probably play an exacta Not a Peep / Doremif, MCM.

3 - McVictory I really think is in the right spot today.

Nothing on the card today that I really love, probably play a few bucks here and there, good luck.

Ah, forgot, yes I agree here. Actually, this and McVictory are my two favorite plays, probably with a lean to Timber Cat. Good luck, hope you are right.

I agree Spunky can whip these if the horse is back to form. Generous ML I think. Horse ran well over track before too. I will have to see Spunky's warm-up first.

EARLY PICK 4 : :1: :2: :4: :5: :6: / :2: :6: / :1: :4: / :1a: :5: :7:

LATE PICK 4: :3: :4: :8: / :2: :6: :7: / :3: :5: :10: / :3: :8:

[46zilzal]

In the opener there is only a single legitimate closer BUT in a sprint that is a lot to make up for the :2: If either the :1: or :4: get away unmolested, that might be too much to overcome...
The :3: would have to become, all of a sudden, the horse it was 7 races ago to contend here.

[rmania]

In the 8th, Wadi Suki was scratched the other day in easier spot but draws well here and has a huge shot in wide open race.
If I were a betting man I'd have my money on Wadi Suki too... :ThmbUp:

[46zilzal]

on paper, before looking at what is winning, that one is a strong contender, but I would wait to see the styles getting their picture taken first

1-3-2 and Ramon nowhere in the top three

[nostradumbass]

Wow, Motor City paid more to show than to win!

[mistered7]

Race 1 was a bridgejumper special!

[Robert Goren]

Race 3 might get some more bridge jumpers.

late movers could spoil things for the chalk....5 or 6

Great Start to the Day;)

Not all bridge jumpers lose, even so I am going with the :6: to show

6-2-5 will make you happy then

[Robert Goren]

Well at least I cash. Which is the whole idea when going against a bridge jumper.

maiden turfer 4th :8: :1: :7:

Nice hit. Also liked the :8: based on previous turf races.

[HUSKER55]

THAT WAS AN AWFUL SPILL, HOPE THE JOCKEY IS OK

[Robert Goren]

I like the :7:in the 5th race. I was hoping for a little better odds.

[46zilzal]

I liked this one at first until I saw what direction his pace was going...If the third race back was in a vacuum, that one would be the top pick.

race 9 :6: to hang on

[PhantomOnTour]

he looks like he's in too tough, but this :4: was a big money earner for me last year...small bet on him for old times' sake...wish him well.

race 9 :6: to hang on
Aw Rob! Your boy shut me off, but he probably isn't coming down.

[tzipi]

Aw Rob! Your boy shut me off, but he probably isn't coming down.

Actually I thought the same thing but when they showed the head on :6: did nothing to the :4: . Looks like the 4 just went into the rail all by himself for some reason. I was wondering why there was no inquiry until I saw the head.

[cuzimahustler]

^^ This was a horrible beat for me today had the 4 in 2nd and 3rd spot on the $1 dollar super no 9 for 3rd. :(
