NY’s first P5 C/O could hit $1,000,000

Friday, December 18th, 2015

AQUEDUCT

POST-SCRATCHES

1st: NY-MCLM/$25k, F&M-3+, 1m (P5, P3, DD)

$163k P5 C/O starts here..

First NYRA P5 C/O could generate pool approaching $1,000,000 and despite reasonable field size sequence of 7x6x6x10x7, looks VERY slippery. First leg invites heavy reliance on Wild Image SCR’D, but how confident should you be in 5yo mare with very little speed? Adds blinkers and comes back 2nd/layoff with work in between..

Most Likely: #5 Bubbe Zena 6-1 3rd
Best Value: #1 Nagging Gigee 10-1 6th
Next Best: #3 Quibbler 5-2 WON ($5.30)

2nd: CLM, F&M-3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD)

Another spot that suggests opp to focus on heavy fave with Midnight Champagne (3-5) undeniable as speed and wire threat. But Rock Show and Little Gidding are within a couple lengths of the choice and with Kelly’s Prize and Swakopmund in possession of efforts that can win this..

Most Likely: #2 Midnight Champagne 3-5 WON ($2.80)
Best Value: #3 Rock Show 12-1 3rd
Next Best: #6 Little Gidding 4-1 4th

3rd: NY-OC/N1X, 2yo-F, 8.5f (P3, DD)

Nice group of credentialed NYB 2yo fillies and power players will buy the race with the all button as even 20-1 Finger Lakes invader Sacred Season is not without chance routing for the first time. On the topic of 2 turns, Singsong and ‘other’ Pletcher Queens Tiara are lone entrants with that experience, albeit on the turf..

Best Value: #2 Singsong 5-1 WON ($10.00)

Exotics Use: #5 Queens Tiara 6-1 5th

4-5 a hyper ML number on Zen Papa who may not necessarily improve off the debut when collared by sharp Dubb.
