Have A Good “Nite” At Aqueduct (3/7)

Mar 7th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast on a beautiful day at Aqueduct.  Only went 1 for 11 on Saturday so I will try and do much better today!

In race 8, The Stymie, Nite Light (#4) drops back to 1 1/8 miles from all those marathon stakes, is 2 for 3 at the distance and can rate just off the leaders and post the victory.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Giant Chieftan (#3) and Reflect Times (#2).

In race 7, Good Karma (#6) gets plenty of pace with some stretch-out sprinters at a mile and 70 yards — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Hittin the Note (#3).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 and 5

Race 2: 6 and 1A

Race 3: 4 and 7

Race 4: 9 and 5

Race 5: 5 and 8

Race 6: 2 and 7

Race 7: 6 (Best Bet) and 3

Fast and firm at Gulfstream with another difficult handicapping card on tap.  Only went 2 for 10 on Saturday so I will try and do better today!

In race 10, Show the Way J (#7) can stay close to a moderate pace, goes out for Bill Mott who reaches for his main man Desormeaux — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Saint Jude (#4).

In race 3, Jocata (#6) needed last and gets a good pace to run at — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Buckleupbuttercup (#1).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

A touch of Spring today in New York where it’s sunny and fast at Aqueduct with a competitive 11 race card on tap! In race 4, The Grade 3 Toboggan, Elusive Warning (#2) is 2 for 2 on the inner track and gets an insane pace to run at — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Wall Street Wonder (#4).

In race 1, Indymine (#6) can stay close enough to a decent pace and run down the leaders with a good trip.  I’m keying in the early double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Stungbythestorm (#9) and Gentle Edwin (#2). Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Getting The “Upper” Hand At Gulfstream (3/6)

Mar 6th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm — a beautiful day in Florida with a very competitive card at Gulfstream and lots of great ways to make money.  In race 7, The Grade 3 “Herecomesthebride” at 1 1/8 miles on turf, Upperline (#6) closed a lot of ground in her last against many of these, even with a slow pace, gets an extra 16th today, goes second off the layoff and puts the blinkers on — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Check The Label (#3) and In The Rough (#4).

In race 1, Georgian (#2) isn’t exactly a win machine, but gets the perfect pace scenario today to score from off the pace at 6 1/2 furlongs.  I’m keying in the early double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Sir Winston (#8).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 (Best Bet) and 8

Race 2: 2 and 7

Race 3: 6, 9 and 3

Race 4: 7 and 4
