There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Saturday, including at Aqueduct race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and are up over 229 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Aqueduct race track.

11:50am Aqueduct (Race 1) – Classic Legacy 9/5 (2-star play)

The son of Into Mischief faded when finishing a well beaten fifth in a six-and-a-half-furlong maiden special weight at Saratoga when debuting in August. Took a marked step forward when four-and-a-quarter-lengths second over this course and distance in October on his only subsequent start. Raced from off the pace on both starts to date and is taken to employ similar tactics to break his maiden with Junior Alvarado, on board last time out again in the saddle.

12:52pm Aqueduct (Race 3) – Quality Stones 2/1 (2-star play)

Impressed when winning by eight lengths in a $20,000 claiming contest over six furlongs on a good main track here on her penultimate start. Faded having built up a three length clear early on when last of eighth in an allowance optional claimer over the same course and distance subsequently. The drop in grade here is a positive and Patrick J Quick’s charge looks capable of providing claiming rider Jason Huayas with a first victory at this meeting.

2:16pm Aqueduct (Race 6) – Julia Shining 3/5 (2-star play)

Out of a Grade 1 winning mare the Curlin filly made the perfect start to her racing career when coming from off the pace to deliver a two-and-three-quarter-length victory in a seven furlong maiden special weight contest at Keeneland in October. Has been kept busy on the training track at Belmont Park since including when delivering a 49.05 four furlong work there late last month and she can provide trainer Todd Pletcher with a third consecutive victory in this race. 

2:44pm Aqueduct (Race 7) – Tuskegee Airman 8/5 (2-star play)

A $290,000 yearling purchase in October last year John Servis’ charge delivered a five-and-a-half-length victory having drawn clear of his 13 rivals in the straight when making a winning debut over seven furlongs at Parx in September. Followed up with an odds-on victory when upped to stakes company for the Rocky Run Stakes on a good main track at Delaware Park subsequently. Given a break since he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record stepping up to graded company.

3:43pm Aqueduct (Race 9) – Xandon +100 (3-star play)

Victorious at the top level when triumphing in the mile-and-one-eighth Bluegrass Stakes at Keeneland in April the selection has finished on the board in all four subsequent starts including in May’s Kentucky Derby. Given a break since finishing three lengths second in the Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby over a mile-and-one-eighth at Parx in September Chad Brown’s charge looks capable of delivering a victory dropping back to a mile with Joel Rosario, on board at Parx booked to ride.
