Not Very “Pretty” At Aqueduct (12/13)

Dec 13th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

A dreary day at Aqueduct on Sunday and we will be dealing with a wet track all day long!  Yesterday, I was shut out on the win end, but had a good run in races 4-6 where I listed two doubles, a $423 pick 3 and a $81 exacta box in race 6.  As usual, my best bets were shut out, so beware until I get hot.

In race 9, Pretty Boy Freud (#8) has tactical speed to overcome his outside post and has run well on a wet track — I’m playing an exacta box with Rises The Phoenix (#10) and Writingonthewall (#4) and keying in the late double and pick 3.

In race 7, Extinguish (#10) can wire the field at a decent price.  I’m playing an exacta box with Fiddlers Patriot (#5) and Won Great Classic (#4) and keying in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 and 3

Race 2: 6, 9 and 7

Race 3: 6, 2 and 1

Race 4: 5, 10 and 1

Race 5: 5, 3 and 9

Race 6: 8 and 2

Race 7: 10 (Best Bet) with 5 and 4

Race 8: 4 and 1A

Race 9: 8 (Best Bet) with 10 and 4



A Winner On “Tap” At Aqueduct (12/12)

Dec 12th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast at Aqueduct today as we go deeper into the inner track season.  In race 7, East End Tap (#1A) is the in form closer in a race packed with speed.  He can handle two turns and will be a good price — I’m playing an exacta box with Brady Baby (#6) and keying in all doubles and pick 3’s.

In race 2, Montecore (#4) can stalk the pace at 6 furlongs and prevail — I’m keying in an exacta box with Rereadthefootnotes (#3) and keying in all doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 with 4 and 3

Race 2: 4 (Best Bet) and 3

Race 3: 5, 1 and 3

Race 4: 7, 13 and 10

Race 5: 2, 6 and 9

Race 6: 1, 2 and 6

Race 7: 1A and 6

Race 8: 3 and 2

Race 9: 1 and 10



Something Worth “Reading” At Aqueduct (12/6)

Dec 6th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

A drying out track at Aqueduct on Sunday (currently rated good).  A decent day yesterday with two winners and a flat bet profit of $1.20 — even with my two best bets just getting beat at the wire.  Oh well, a pretty competitive card today so here goes!

In race 7, The Damon Runyan, Reading Group (#6) should appreciate the switch to two turns and more distance — he may be the one in a tough group of statebreds. I’ll box him in exactas with Golly Day (#8) and City Trooper (#5) and use in doubles and pick 3’s.

In race 5, Victory March (#8) ran well in only dirt start, gets a good pace to run into at 1 mile and 70 yards. I’m playing an exacta box with The Mayor (#2) and using in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 4 and 5

Race 2: 5 and 3

Race 3: 6 and 2

Race 4: 5 and 9

Race 5: 8 (Best Bet) and 2

Race 6: 6, 9 and 11

Race 7: 6 (Best Bet) with 8 and 5

Race 8: 9, 10 and 2

Race 9: 9, 3 and 6



The Odds Are “Even” At Aqueduct (12/5)

Dec 5th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

The inner track will be wet for part of the card today as bad weather approaches and there is no turf racing for the rest of the year. Here are my picks before scratches are announced so please check before betting.

In race 3, Even Raise (#2) loves the inner track and likes it wet — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Stealth Missle (#6).

In race 8, The Garland of Roses Handicap, Distorted Passion (#3) had a nice prep off a long layoff and gets back on the track she loves.  I’ll play her to win at a nice price and key in all doubles and pick 3’s, plus play an exacta box with All of Her Twist (#9) and By The Light (#4).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 and 2

Race 2: 3 and 2

Race 3: 2 (Best Bet) and 6

Race 4: 8 and 1

Race 5: 6 and 2
