Nothing like good ol' cappin' to get way from bitter bantering.
I gotta hand it to Aqueduct thus far this meet, I'm no spring chicken, but this has been a fantastic meet thus far. I simply can't ever remember a Big A card in the Fall/Winter meet with this many horses running in big, solid and competitive fields. Kudos.
Catch a Cab: Form looks a little sketchy, but it really isn't that bad. Sure, you have to go back 8 races to find him a winner, but he has a number of races under his belt that are more than competitive in here. Not without a chance.
Zapperini: The supposed better half of the entry supposedly has some serious Class over the rest of this field. With that said, he is 3 for 32 lifetime. And has only hit the board 13 of 32 tries. I have little doubt both will go to the gate, and this is obviously a strong entry.
Lucky Ramsey: Been beat by almost everybody in the field at one time or other. Has never won at the distance, but has solid AQU and turf numbers. I see enough speed in here to make him interesting in the bottom of exotics. Hard to see on top.
Seanow: Front runner gets back to turf again, but would likely want it to switch to an off track. 4 for 9 lifetime, so can't be completely dismissed, but if this stays on the green stuff, he is hard to back unless you believe he will wire the field.
River Deep: Interesting shipper that takes action. Those Laurel races aren't all that bad considering the crew here. This is my must include bomb in exotics.
Wicked Freud: Maybe the one to beat. The 6/1 ML has to be a mistake. Servis horse should be coming late. Possible PT favorite.
Hieroglyphics: As solid a horse as there is in the field. Impossible to leave out of exotics. Johnny V is struggling, so maybe I need to see him beat me on a horse like this?
Siding Spring: Could be a scary lone speed in this field. Decent 1st out claiming angle on the trainer, and Rosario gets the mount. Really tough entry, and needs large consideration on top.
Mills: MTO wants it to be on the main.
Krewe Chief: Seconditis to an extreme. 34-3-10-4. Could win but from this post I have to simply look at for exotics and bet against. Can't make a solid case to bet this one from the outside at any kind of short price.
