Race Day Plays for Thursday:

Aqueduct — Race #5 :  Storm Pursuit  —  Off at odds  23/1, SP showed very sharp speed, dueled with Rockford to the 3/16th pole.  Maybe we went to this one a race too soon.  At the price, it was a decent play.  Finish was out of the money.

Los Alamitos — Race #4 :  Day In The Sun — Off at odds of 3/2, D-I-T-Sun ran very well to Win, paying $5.00.  Our total play of the 1 over the 4,5 ran for a cold exacta and trifecta, for those of you who tried to bump up the payoffs… 

Bias Alert at The Big A:  

The Inside part of the track was totally dominant during the first 7 races, it started to get a bit more honest in the 8th and 9th…

Thursday’s races were very good at The Big A, the Inside Bias made the running in the stretch really interesting, especially for horses coming up the rail to try and snatch the underneath placings.  While at Los Alamitos, the phrase MOTO comes to mind.  While the Top RATED horses ran to 5 wins, 1 2nd and 1 3rd out of the 8 race card –  the fact of the matter was the prices were very short.  Even my Race Day selection, with an M/L of 5/2 went off a skinny 3/2.
