Aikenite Is No “Bull” At Gulfstream (1/23)

Jan 23rd, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm at Gulfstream with a difficult card to get your arms around.  In race 9, The Holy Bull, Aikenite (#8) could be Pletcher’s Derby horse, but one mile seems a better distance at this point and he breaks from a good stalking post today.  I’m keying in the late double and playing an exacta box with Winslow Homer (#6) who could be the main speed.

In race 4, Lemon Spice (#3) can benefit by the added distance on turf, moves inside, taken to repeat.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Uncle Indy (#1). Here’s the entire card and good luck.

Race 1: 8 and 9

Race 2: 5, 6 and 2

Race 3: 6 and 9

Race 4: 3 (Best Bet)

Race 5: 11 and 9

Race 6: 10 2

Race 7: 5 and 4

Race 8: 6, 7 and 9

Race 9: 8 (Best Bet)

Race 10: 5 and 7



Salute The “General” At Aqueduct (1/23)

Jan 23rd, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast on the inner track at Aqueduct on Saturday.  The inside continues to be best part of the track and speed is still an advantage — although closers improved yesterday.

In race 6, Four Star General (#2) moves to an inside post and can stay close to a fast past and wear down the leaders in the stretch.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Kickapoo (#3) and Fast Draw (#5).

In race 5, Kid Tornado (#4) ran well from the outside at a route — moves inside and gets the right flow.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Stargleam (#9).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 and 5
