In a 20 horse field, I tend to avoid the closer types. I think I learned my lesson with Dialed In. I think he finished last. However, I did bet Strike the Gold and he was a closer, but I think that was when the field usually had some speedy sprinters that got in based on money won and not points. All that said, it does seem to me that the times at Aqueduct always seem a bit slower than the same horses might get at another venue, but even so, the Wood seemed to be a pretty slow race.

Mid packers with a strong early-late pace, relax and finish with gusto. Have I described anybody???
