Weird for me to be playing on a Monday.
AQU
First race

Try as I might, I find it had to get past the favorite, #3, in the opener.

My knocks are that it was claimed for 30K last out and sat out the "in jail" period, returning at the very same asking price. It's also raced rather infrequently lately, but has been first or a close-up second in 5 of the 9 races showing.

The other knock is the odds, so this one may just be a mental bet.

Hey folks! How's it going?

AQU R1-

The 3 is real tough, but, I will go with the 3,5 here to win. Trillian #5 got bumped at the break last time out and still rushed up and was ridden out to win. Going for a nice price!

The 4 looked good to me, but I am hesitant as I think it might want more ground. But it made a monstrous move last out after a three month vacation and I noted it at the time.

I would take the 3 at 2/1, but it's 8/5 now and likely to go lower.

Good luck!

Chalk rules the opener at the Big A but :5: could run a bit

Strange but the inner bias has returned to somewhere near normal.


Don't know what made it go away other than the new maintenance crew.

Fine by me
that was a pleasant surprise

Word to the wise: DON'T USE PHILLY LINES FOR THIS RACE. I know it is tempting, i.e. on the Dutrow horses, but BEWARE

AQU R2- I like the 1,6 to Win right here. I hope that the odds stay decent.
