“Run” To The Window At Aqueduct (1/10)

Jan 10th, 2010 | By | Category: Today's Picks

Fast and brutally cold again at Aqueduct — watch out for the speed to continue to dominate.  In race 3, Run With The Lark (#1) was scratched yesterday to run in this spot, goes second off a layoff and can stay close with the rail post to run down the two speeds late.  I’m keying in doubles and pick 3′s and making an exacta box with Raceland (#2).

In race 5, Crafty Mark (#6) gets a fast pace to stalk and ran very well on the inner track when last seen here — call to cash at a decent price. I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with J.J.’s Profit (#4).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 with 4 and 1

Race 2: 4, 6 and 1

Race 3: 1 (Best Bet) and 2

Race 4: 6 and 8

Go Fall Off A “Cliff” At Aqueduct (1/9)

Jan 9th, 2010 | By | Category: Today's Picks

Fast and extremely cold at Aqueduct where speed has controlled things during the brutal weather.  In race 5, Cliffy’s Future (#2) has back class and gets great new connections today — can stay close enough to beat these at a decent price.  I’m playing an exacta box with Ziptronic (#3) and keying in all doubles and pick 3′s.

In race 8, South Fourth Street (#8) loves to win and had an excuse in last — I’m keying in exactas with Writingonthewall(#10) and RisesthePhoenix(#1) and keying in all doubles and the late pick 3.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Day To “Advance” At Gulfstream (1/9)

Jan 9th, 2010 | By | Category: Today's Picks

Raining at Gulfstream today and not sure how wet the track will be throughout the day.  I’m handicapping for a wet main track and for a good turf courses — all races left on turf.

In race 8, The Gulfstream Park Turf Sprint, T.D. Vance (#6) is the classy closer in a race packed with speed.  He handles a soft course just fine and can run down the leaders even at 5 furlongs.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Little Nick (#5) and Hockeythehayman (#8).

In race 6, The Sugar Swirl, Bold Union (#1) can wire these with an alert start from the rail.  I’m keying her up and down in exactas with Thunders Dove (#8) and Warbling (#3) and keying in all doubles and pick 3′s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1, 3 and 8

Race 2: 7

Race 3: 12, 4 and 5

Race 4: 8 and 5

Race 5: 5 and 2

Race 6: 1 (Best Bet) 8 and 3

Race 7: 8 and 4

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

Race 9: 7 and 5

Race 10: 8 with 4 and 3



A Case Of The “Blues” At Gulfstream (1/3)

Jan 3rd, 2010 | By | Category: Today's Picks

Fast and firm on opening day at Gulfstream with a very competitive card on tap.  In race 7, one mile on the turf, Blues Street (#4) will benefit from Pechito getting in to run down the speed.  I’m keying in doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Exchanging Kisses (#7) and Lemon Cream Pie (#3).

In race 6, Birdrun (#12) can control the pace from the outside — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with Alma D’Oro (#7).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 and 9
