Aqueduct spring meet has arrived and it’s already one we like so much. The Turf racing will add additional competition and spice up the daily card. So it’s time to get back into NYRA racing as we go through this month and “prep” for Belmont.
Talking Kentucky Derby:
With the absence of Big Mac and The Bolt seeming to struggle in the late stages of his race with Justify the feel of the upcoming KD has started to shift more than just a little bit. The list I am keeping has “shrunk” dramatically and it’s getting more ordered now. Before I was simply putting up horses with their best figure… while that remains the same, you can see I have dropped The Bolt a few pegs, because he keeps coming up short of his own 2 year old accomplishments. Of course, I know there will be a full field of 20 – most likely – this list is now only 9 deep… but it will change some more after the Ark and the Lex…
The TRUE Kentucky Derby Contender’s List!
| Justify | 79.8 -> 3 yr |
| Audible | 78.8 -> 3 yr |
| Mendelssohn | 78.0 -> 3 yr |
| Good Magic | 76.8 -> 3 yr |
| Bolt d’Oro | 2 YR –>79.8 |
| Blended Citizen | 77.3 -> 3 yr |
| My Boy Jack | 76.5 -> 3 yr |
| Noble Indy | 75.3 -> 3 yr |
| Magnum Moon | 74.5 -> 3 yr |
“Race Day Las Vegas” Plays
I didn’t post from 3/30 through 4/8… during that period I had a bit of a tough run, with $24.00 in plays and only $7.40 returned from our winners… definitely a weak period! Now it’s time to get back to winning.
Thursday
Race #5 at Aqueduct…. saw our Featured Play, My Bronx Tail get crazy and ultimately scratched… no harm, not foul…
Race #7 at Aqueduct…A True Giant, off at 5/1, broke sharply, taking the early lead and holding sway for the win… exacta and trifecta filled… the win money was a solid $12.40.
