GULFSTREAM PARK

POST-SCRATCHES

5th: OC/N3X, F&M-4+, 1m-T/60′ (Jackpot Rainbow P6, P3, DD)

Tremendously intriguing group with surface switchers possessing decent back form on grass (20-1 Molly Morgan; 5-2 Via Villaggio), a trio of barn movers (3-1 Long Face and 6-1 Euro Import Triple Charm to Clement; 4-1 Alaura Michelle to Pletcher) and a pair of medium priced ‘shots with races two back that can win (10-1 Gamay Noir; 8-1 Royal Fury). No bad combos for you to try here and be thankful this isn’t in the P5 or late P4..

Best Value: #3 Gamay Noir 10-1 7th
Next Best: #8 Via Villaggio 5-2 9th
Exotics Use: #2 Long Face 3-1 3rd

Super Add: #1 Sinorice 8-1 3rd

7th: MCLM/$50k, 3yo-F, 5f-T/60′ (P4, P3, DD)

Torturous set of $50k maidens featuring eye-crossing assembly of turf movers, barn switchers, class droppers and first time starters. There are some gaudy trainer stats in tow here that may be clues or may confound including Herman Wilensky (20-1 When We Act) hitting at an astounding 50% W’s with his last 24 acquisitions ($3.17 ROI). If you want to go back further, he’s still good for a 26% clip with his last 148 for a $2.73 ROI..

Most Likely: #5 Rogue Lady 3-1 6th
Best Value: #4 When We Act 20-1 8th
Next Best: #7 Claque 8-1 9th
Exotics Use: #3 Starship Journey 6-1 WON ($17.60)

8th: OC/N2X, F&M-4+, 1m (P3, DD)

Slightly awkward group of fillies and mares with potential for a surprise. Eastern Atlantic (Stormy Atlantic) makes a late-in-life first start on dirt and there is reasonable expectation that she might like it. The 5yo mare is out of Echo d’Or, a full sister to the excellent Meyerhoff-owned, Buddy Delp-trained sire Western Echo. Echo d’Or herself was a good dirt sprinter and Eastern Atlantic merits an upset look..

10th: OC/S-ALW, 4+, 5f-T/60′ (Super Hi-5)

Wire Funds appears very imposing here. Consistent and already fastest coming in, he should get targets to stalk as well. First turf Full Moon’s Back mildly interesting with unraced dam Moonshot a half sis to very nice Drysdale GSW & G1PL mare Cat By the Tale..

‘Aqueduct Mondays’ kick off with $60k C/O

Monday, January 13th, 2014

First of 3 months of Mondays at Aqueduct starts this afternoon and has added incentive of $60k double carryover in tow. Track punished attempts to utilize the inside path Sunday, so it will be worth monitoring the early races (2 sprints; 1 route) ahead of the P6 to see if the situation carries into today’s action. Andy Serling on ATR this morning at 10:40a to set the stage for this new scheduling wrinkle of Thursday-Monday racing..

AQUEDUCT

POST-SCRATCHES

1st: CLM/N3L, F&M-4+, 6f (P5, P3, DD)

2nd: MSW, 3yo, 6f (P4, P3, DD)

Highly notable pedigree on display as KMc/Darley unveil Sublime (Medaglia d’Oro), first foal out of the wonderful Hystericalady. As well as McLaughlin barn is going, hard to expect this onw to win at first asking, though dam did win early going just 4.5f at Golden Gate in ’05..

4th: NY-MCLM/$25k, 3yo, 5.5f (P6, P3, DD)

$60k DBL P6 C/O starts here..

Pletcher dropper has shown little in NY-MSW tries, but this seems like right level. Firsters Channel Bot (Rodriguez) and Astronomo (Kenneally) won’t have to be too special to impact this and Rodriguez has handsome numbers debuting in MCLM’s (25%; $2.06 ROI on DRF trainer stats)..

Joking is the likeliest winner, yes, but there are 5 others here within a couple of lengths of him. I struggled with this race and believe it is more perilous than it might appear at first glance..

GULFSTREAM PARK

POST-SCRATCHES

2nd: OC/$100k, 4+, 1m (P4, P3, DD)

High level OC lures return of LA Derby/Withers winner & KY Derby show pony Revolutionary, but also the seasonal debuts of SW’s Reveron (’12 GP Derby), Honorable Dillon (’13 Hutcheson) & Falling Sky (’13 Sam Davis). While Revolutionary is working well for first start since Belmont, this is a prep for the Donn and his style may leave him with a lot to do on a track that isn’t typically kind to off the pace rallyers..

POST SCR NOTE: SCR of Silver Menace takes earliest speed out of lineup..

Most Likely: #3 Honorable Dillon 3-1 5th
Best Value: #2 Reveron 6-1 4th

4th: MSW, 3yo, 7f (P3, DD)

Wild assembly of potential talent that features debuts from throng of expensive purchases with distinguished siblings: $700k Hartford SCR’D is a full to Dance Card (Pletcher/Stonestreet); $400k Constitution is a half to Emcee (Pletcher/WinStar-Twin Creeks); $550k Athens a half to Pomeroy (Mott/WinStar); $600k Indy’s Legacy a three-quarter brother to Cool Coal Man (Byrne/Sanfords). Note that Bourbonize won an Oaklawn ALW Friday flattering Ian Wilkes’ Ulanbator who was third to him at Churchill in November after a bad start..

Rather wide open event with explosive potential if the favorites falter. Beyond obvious Majestic Sunset and Double Whammy, several at prices can move up significantly in turf bows including Blarp (12-1), Downtownleroybrown (20-1), Notability (8-1) and my especially kooky longshot Caspian Sea (20-1). Maddy Bird (20-1) another oddball number that lures Lopez and is out of dam that is full sister of $8,000,000 yearling Mr. Sekiguchi. ML second choice Perky Kitten (4-1) may be a play against off series of morning efforts that weren’t viewed favorably..

Terrific group with virtually no auto-toss candidates. May not be a great deal of pace on here and if Simmstown is left alone, he’ll wire. Purple Egg may be the one to apply pressure to keep things honest.

POST-SCRATCHES

4th: CLM/N2L, 4+, 6f (P6, P3, DD)

$24,569 P6 C/O starts here..

Tricky Slam obviously horse to beat, but Jersey Jet (main track?), Chief Scout (more improvement to come?), Pepe (return to career best?) and Sonnyandpally (enough pace to close into?) all within striking distance if circumstances allow..

Most Likely: #5 Pepe 7-2 WON ($5.00)
Best Value: #1 Sonnyandpally 6-1 3rd
Next Best: #8 Chief Scout 4-1 2nd
Exotics Use: #7 Jersey Jet 15-1 DNF-Unseated rider

5th: CLM/N2L, F&M-4+, 6f (G/S, P3, DD)

Exotics Use: #2 Julesco 5-2 3rd
Super Add: #6 Raven Rise 3-1 6th

6th: MCLM/$50k, 3yo, 1m (P4, P3, DD)

Hard to believe that John Morrison will run both #4 Brendan G and #9 Qui C’est Moi SCR’D given on lead and pressing style of pair. Either could be on loose lead here without presence of other. Meanwhile, 2nd timer Oltre’ Oto and Pletcher/Repole dropper Village Warrior loom as obvious players. Zito Indiana-bred Percy’s Ambition, exiting MSW that produced Coup de Grace and Unknown Road, has look of one that will take to added ground. Will be a big number..

Most Likely: #4 Brendan G 3-1 6th
Next Best: #7 Village Warrior 2-1 2nd
Best Value: #2 (POE) Percy’s Ambition 12-1 5th
Exotics Use: #3 Oltre’ Oro 9-2 WON ($9.10)

7th: CLM, 4+, 6f (P3, DD)

This race (and 8th) keys to sequence with break and early jock decisions central to whether pace is simply honest or heated. Jacobson continues to play claiming game aggressively with $20k last out buy Rift dipping to $12.5k tag here while seeking $15k winner’s share of $25k pot. Exley, Money Only, Starship Captain, Alcomatch and Avenging Spirit are all jamming down in this set making your ticket exclusions very difficult..

Most Likely: #2 Exley 6-1 7th
Next Best: #9 Alcomatch 7-2 WON ($5.70)
Best Value: #4 Starship Captain 20-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #3 Say Mr. Sandman 12-1 2nd

8th: NY-OC/N2X, F&M-4+, 8.5f (DD)

Treacherous group confounds at each look as players like Downtown Hottie lure you despite a 14/0-4-2 inner track mark. Gloria Victoria may have put it all together and may just overwhelm this set..

Most Likely: #6 Gloria Victoria 5-2 2nd
Next Best: #3 Downtown Hottie 7-2 4th
Best Value: #5 City Gone Wild 5-1 6th
Exotics Use: #7 Hot Splash 6-1 WON ($17.40)
