Fast and good at Gulfstream with a competitive holiday card on tap.  In race 7, Ms. Thanksgiving (3) may give you a reason to celebrate with the cutback to a turf sprint — can stalk and finish at a decent price.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Halcyon Days (#10) and Draw a Blank (#2).

In race 9, a deep optional allowance at one mile on the turf, Lemon Cream Pie (#4) likes the local course and may have a tactical advantage on the closers to get first run and score.  I’m keying in the late double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Carson Hall (#5) and Alezzandro (#3).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1 and 2

Race 2: 8 and 1

Race 3: 6 and 3

Race 4: 12, 5 and 1

Race 5: 3, 2 and 8

Race 6: 8, 5 and 2

Race 7: 3 (Best Bet) with 10 and 2

Race 8: 9 and 6

Race 9: 4 (Best Bet) with 5 and 3

Clear and fast at Aqueduct on President’s Day.  Hope to continue picking some winners and hopefully get my best bets to run better today.

In race 6, Freud’s Notebook (#2) can repeat off maiden victory tracking stretch some stretchout sprinters at a mile and 70 yards.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and plyaing an exacta box with Every Little Thing (#7).

In race 5, Scale (#5) makes second career start after showing good speed in debut — Linda Rice has great stats with maiden second starters and I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Conflicted (#9). Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 4 and 2

Race 2: 6 and 4

Race 3: 5 and 1

Race 4: 2 and 6

Race 5: 5 (Best Bet) and 9

Race 6: 2 (Best Bet) and 7

Race 7: 3 and 5

Race 8: 3 and 7

Race 9: 3 and 6

Race 10: 8 with 6 and 7

Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day.  I went 8 for 20 combined at Aqueduct and Gulfstream (4 winners at each track) with a combined return of $28.90.  Unfortunately, I went 0 for 4 on Best Bets, but I’m still way ahead for the year on those wagers.  It’s President’s Day today, and I will be handicapping both the Aqueduct and Gulfstream cards so I hope to see all of you later.
