Thursday’s playaround

[Alabama Stakes]

Aqueduct 2
10 WP 7

I wasn't paying attention to Aqueduct but tuned in to watch Jose Ortiz lose on a 6/5 while Irad sailed by him down the stretch on an 8/1.

Perfect set up as 2 faves dueled early and often.....

Pouring rain with a forecast of pouring rain and they wait till then to take the remainder of the races off the turf ? Why not before the pick 5 ?

Yes, not ideal for the horse player. Those races probably should have been taken off sooner.

Keeneland 5
Pick 5
9,11,12 / 1,2,5,7,8 / 8 / 1,2 / 2,7,8,9,10

Think I'm done for the day after this one. Good luck all.

That Irad is a better jockey than Jose. I didn't look at the horses at all, but seeing Irad at 8/1 while Jose is 6/5 is sort of shocking.

Maybe I'm being unfair but I've started downgrading horses when he's aboard.
