Aqueduct Plays Of The Day

Race 1: Texting is cutting back in distance and taking major drop.. two back is better than the rest.. Jacapo is consistent in last four tries..second time against winners and should improve from third place finish.. Golden Luck needs a good break and a good ride..any moisture in track will help this one.


Race 2: I am going with the firster in this spot. Woodford Pine draws the talented Carmouche in the irons and runs for top trainer Chad Brown. The horse gets Lasix and has steady works. Stone Crab.. Rudy knows how to get them ready..coming off month break..Ortiz is back..Pierce's Prize disappoint last out as fave..took a time out and could be ready to put it together.


Race 3: Shayjolie came back in Affectionately and ran out of gas in the lane..may have needed that one..should be ready to rumble. Penwith got nailed last out at the wire..will once again be tough. Moment In Dixie gets Alvarado who vacated Holiday Jewel for this spot.. steady growth in last three.


Race 4: I am taking the horses that were beaten by Read The Mirage in their last.. Prince Raja steps up a tab..should be best.. To Erin Again was beaten by seven lengths  in last but should improve..Qui C'est Moi.. slight drop..appreciate the distance.


Race 5: Go On Darling comes off freshener..broke maiden as fave by neck.. Zenstone could bust out of there for hot barn and keep on going.. I just Wanna Win could be best of all..needs a settling ride for best effort.


Race 6: Ekhlass gets Lasix and will take them wire to wire with the bug boy.. King Rontos needs to grow up and put it all together. Carry The Beat is getting Lasix for second start..will improve


Race 7: Run A Dubb Dubb will cut the corner under Rice and do the reggae waltz to the wire..Bileaps And Bounds is the one to beat..stronger races than the top pick.. Ah Gaga is coming off win..mild freshener..could be ready.


Race 8: This is a tough race or Via Strata could make a mockery of it.. Via Strata was impressive last out and will love the stretch out even better. Pebble Beach Baby is a consistent runner.. Checkupfromzneckup will get better second time against winners. Lucky Nancy E draws Carmouche..cuts back in distance.. Wraith is a runner I always love..Box all five and enjoy.


Race 9: Last of the day is wide open..don't care much for those who already had a chance...Our Posse gets Lasix..Jara will put the son of Posse on the lead and turn them away.. Fortunate Sky looks ready for a starring roll.. Louie Luck should get a piece.

Santa Anita's Plays

Race 1: The first of the day offers up runners who just doesn't like to win..you can put all their names  in a bag and pull one to find the winner... I settled on Nothing To Hide with the back class.. My Develish Diva dropping to level she competes at well... It's Aine beat my Develish Diva two back and is worth a look.


Race 2: Alston first drop to this level showed improvement.. expect further progression... Townminster... is yet to finish in the money after four starts but he is stretching out... could take them all the way. Lone Warrior has done nothing in two starts.. willing to give another try against this bunch.


Race 3: Commute working well for his debut..love the barn who knows how to get them ready.. Distorted Humor in family lines works for me. Z Besha.. Baffert.. Espinoza.. Zayat.. familiar. Gimmie Da Lute another firster out of Baffert's barn that has been working well. Midnight Lute/Casino Gold..will be ready to fire.


Race 4: Shy Rosa wasn't shy in 2014...six starts and four in the money finishes...coming off healthy break..should fire. Denotation could blow up this entire field and win for fun..main threat to top choice. Bow Tie Belle..cutting back..won last out..top jock sticks.


Race 5: Brescat.. don't know much about this one but I know about Stevens and Mcanally..enough for me. Koukle.. throwing out last race... should relish this spot.. Lady Of The Nile attracts Elvis which is a major upgrade and jocks do make a difference...Jerry may do the trick.


Race 6: I am leaving Big Macher out of the top three spots.. Distinctiv Passion is breaking from the rail and will have the services of "Money Mike" in the irons..he will get every ounce out of this one who has only one bad try in last ten starts.. Secret Circle has burn money ..did not find winners' circle all last year..I hope bettors bail so I can inhale the profits that will come.. Wild Dude ran super last out..will come after them in the stretch but will have to catch the top choice who is working lights out.


Race 7: Za Approval was disappointing last out at Gulfstream Park. He came out in stretch under Joel Rosario but failed to catch the top three. Mark Casse made trip last time to see run at Gulfstream Park..he was disappointed but that will change come Saturday. Baccelo goes back to turf after last two tries on dirt..will appreciate the surface switch.. Kaigun the other Casse runner has been doing well and I have appreciated this horse since the Churchill Downs run when he got blocked in race against Wise Dan. Will come running in the lane.


Race 8: I am expecting the Casse barn to have a big day on Saturday. I have been waiting on Miss Mandate to put it all together. Loved her at Churchill..nothing... Delta Princess is a throwout..came back in last to finish nice second.. Talamo sticks on the Pioneerof The Nile filly..today is money time... Callback is a major player and could be the one that will defeat Miss Mandate.. second last out in grade two company..blinkers off... Garcia/Baffert... Cha-Ching! Glory gets the services of Mike Smith.. the money man will take over the reins of this maiden winner who finished second to Callback two back.. the Tapit filly will only get better with the distance..


Race 9: Solomon Northup won't be held in maiden captivity very long..expect this one to find his way home...  Eckersley will be firing strikes with Lasix and the extra ground... Steam Play needs to sit off pace and make one run..

Gulfstream Park Plays Of The Day

                                                                  Gulfstream Park

Race 1. Not in love with any of these so I am shopping for a price...Palace Gate has burned more money than a spoiled rich kid..hoping today is the day I can make a profit...Golden Rivet is coming off month break and should be prime to gallop..Vasco Da Gama should explore a spot in the top 3 because I needed someone for the third slot

Race 2. Leverage Loan has done best work on dirt..shortening up from last..should repeat...Jack Wagon is coming off break..I like playing horses coming off extended breaks in these conditions.. Master Achievement deserves a shot against this bunch and Lezcano hops aboard for the trip.


Race 3. Battle Red is going against a bunch that he should handle with ease..I am weary of the many tries though... C'mon Boys will love the lawn and Rosario takes the call... Rimbaud is trying turf second time..last effort wasn't bad... Albertrani and Maragh are deadly.


Race 4. I love this race.. Pletcher's charges will steal all the money at the window..Blame and Overcontrol will be deserving faves but there is no fun doing things the easy way.. I am trying to beat them with Gorgeous Bird who broke maiden last out and Morgans Harbour who is coming off a fourth place place finish in the Spectacular Bid.

Race 5. Media Savvy will be best if that one is able to draw in... Get Air Lex switches to Rosario.. shortens up.. will be live.. La Moskette is bred for speed top and bottom.. should enjoy turf.

Race 6. Once again Pletcher's firsters will take the bank roll.. Porch Pound and Khozan both look ready to roll and I look forward to beating them with another firster from the McLaughlin barn... Wisecracker is out of Distorted Humor and I love playing Distorted Humor first time out..horse has been working well and trainer knows how to get them ready.

Race 7. Hutcheson... If Bluegrass Singer goes in this spot he will be my top play.. I love him in this spot and like him in the Holy Bull... the horse is going for three in a row..he is the real deal.... Barbados will be tough if Bluegrass Singer stays or leave.. He will also be going for three in a row and will be a hard nut to defeat off that spectacular win in the Spectacular Bid... Dom The Bomb..love the name..should not be ignored and I will watch board and how this one looks on the track.

Race 8. Sweetest Chant.. Can I get 5/1 on Ol' Fashion gal right now..love this filly.. Casse barn is one of the tops anywhere.. Lezcano is that quiet giant who doesn't get the ink he should..masterful turf rider... Miss Temple City is going for three in a row and the Masterful Motion knows how to stir the winning ocean.. Quality Rocks is coming off break..finished 10th in Breeder's Cup race..should be ready off the break.

Race 9. Holy Bull.. I am looking for an upset winner in this spot and First Down is the one who is talking to me.. he should rebound off the fourth place finish against Blofeld.. Albetrani can get them ready to roll and Maragh climbs aboard..a combination that has paid off for me.. I like Bluegrass Singer but wish he would go in Hutcheson.. Frosted is the star of the field.. he could blow this field away or lay an egg.. the son of Tapit who has never been off the board in three lifetime starts will once again be consistent.

Race 10. Forward Gal.. Seduire will be strong in this spot but I will try to beat her with Birdatthewire who ran game race at Churchill last time out..took time off..have been working well for return.. tough spot to come back to.. Ekati Phaeton ran super last out and should step forward once again.. By The Moon will enjoy everything about this setup.. should come running.

Race 11 Kitten Joy... Dr No who had miserable trip last out will be Dr. Yes when the wire approaches.. will run monster race if given a clean trip...Croninthebarbarian.. is very consistent..draws Castellano... Dubai Sky rising numbers..warriors heart..will be a force once more.

Race 2. Be Bullish will be bullish amongst this bunch... Doc Almond is rising and will continue to do good work.. Hurry Up Alan will be produce late by Jara.

Race 3. Regal Minster and Defecit Hawk are rightfully the morning line faves. Both will be tough in this state bred company.. I find Drama King intriguing.. if that one can settle then he can take the biggest slice.

Race 4. Ekhlas get Lasix.. will need to be tucked in and settle..love the barn..top pick.. King Rontos had a few tries..today maybe the day.. Jackson P gets front end rider Lopez..nice break from last... should be ready to cook.

Race 5. Spring Court is very competitive at this level.. goes back to mile.. in form horse... Moonluck will be the one to beat.. the numbers lean in his favor.. Big Town is at the right level and should get a piece.

Race 6. Giantinthemoonlite will love the stretch out.. 5/2 is a gift if you get it.. will romp.. Adams Note has had many tries against this level..keep on ticket.. Sea Raven will be a player with this bunch.

Race 7. I am going price shopping in this spot.. Irish Sweepstakes will enjoy the extra distance.. Wriath was game last out..had three weeks off and should be ready to fire.. Lucky Nancy get Carmouche..she will be coming for a piece.

Race 8. Percussion will sit a great trip..will scamper away when they turn for home.. Classic Sense looks like the danger here to Percussion..consistent traveler over the track.. Wealth To Me will take money and will be a factor with steady numbers.

Race 9. Mop Head looks like the logical play in this spot.. should get the top money.. Dr. Disco coming off break.. if ready should fire.. Tummel's last three starts before break were all in the money.. break should only make this one stronger.
