Race 4 – Aqueduct – Feb. 18– As  I ndicated Stakes – post time: 1:45 p.m. EST

First – Isn’t he perfect (1): Many would ask why I’m picking this horse. San Pablo beat him both of his past two races. He has been getting progressively better as shown in his Beyer Speed Figure and at 6-1 that’s a very fair price. He is a sneaky horse that could up any multi-race tickets…

Race 9 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Feb. 6 – Sweet  Envoy Stakes – post time 4:05 p.m. EST

First – Summer Breezing (6): This is the type of horse I love everything about. It stands out to me statistically speaking. His first race was a big one, stumbled at the start and came back to win it, Clemente clearly liked what he saw to spot him here. Another sign for me is that…

Race 4 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Feb. 11–  Dearly Precious Stakes – post time: 1:45 p.m. EST

First – Singlet (4): A very impressive winner last time out over this track, not moving up in class. The horses that she beat both came back to have very solid wins, which backs up that it was a legitimate stakes’ win.

Second – Lisa T (2): This horse is a horse that has been…

Race 8 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Feb. 4 – Grade 3 Withers – post time: 4:05 pm. EST

First – Alpha (7): This is the horse to beat. I know the connections still have high hopes to get this one to the Kentucky Derby. A romp in the Withers would be a big help, he’s been working like the monster he is. He should be able to sit a tad back of…

Race 8 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Jan, 28 – Affectionately Stakes – Post time 3:57 p.m. EST

First – Love and Pride (2): This is the higher price of the two Pletchers. I happen this one more should be longer odds than Katy Now. She is going to be the pure speed of this race. The only other horse that I can find speed in is the other Pletcher, but I highly…

Race  8 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Jan. 21 – The Evening Attire Stakes – Post  time: 3:37 p.m. EST

First – Jimmanator (3): I picked this horse because I believe that he is rounding into form with his past three races being much better. He will need a hot pace to run into but I believe that he will get that pace and at 8-1 morning line, I’m willing to take a chance…

Aqueduct – Race 7 – Saturday, Jan. 14 – Ruthless Stakes – post time: 3:09 p.m.

First – Better Lucky (7): This horse made its debut on the slop, coming from about five back to win and will only step forward from that race in this spot. There will be lots of speed in this race coming from the 5,6,8,9 and10, who are all a accustom to going to the lead. This race…

Race 8 – Aqueduct – Saturday, Jan. 7 – Count Fleet Stakes – post time: 3:37 p.m. EST

First – Alpha (5): This is a horse that I know the McLaughlin barn had derby hopes for after breaking his maiden at Saratoga impressively like he did. After not doing much running in the BC Juvenile he should be able to get a great trip with Ramon aboard. The McLaughlin barn is always…

Aqueduct – Race 8 – Alex M.Robb Stakes – Saturday, Dec. 31 – Post Time 3:37 p.m. EST

First:  Stormy’s Majesty (1): There is not much speed in this race so I’m looking for this horse to get on the lead and go all the way. If the five-month layoff is a concern to you, don’t let it be. Gallusico has great stats when coming off a layoff of 61-180 days and should…

Aqueduct – Race 8, Saturday Dec. 17 – Gravesend Handicap – Post Time 3:37 p.m. EST

First – Pretty Boy Freud (2): This horse show a good efforts last out and at a similar level. He doesn’t have the class of a few others in this race but he will be worth a shot at the fair price you will be getting on him.

Second – Rule by Night (4): This horse is…
