There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Thursday, including at Aqueduct race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time, up 239.55 units dating back to last August.
Here are 3 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.
2:50 pm Aqueduct (Race 5) – Beyond Best 8/5
Todd Pletcher’s charge has shown plenty of ability in his two starts to date including when delivering an improved speed figure in finishing four-and-a-half-length fourth over a mile-and-one-sixteenth at Gulfstream Park on seasonal debut at the end of January. Has a good jockey in Trevor McCarthy up here and the son of Curlin is taken to score on his second start in New York having debuted with a fourth place finish over a mile at Belmont Park in November.
3:25 pm Aqueduct (Race 6) – Dr Ardito 9/5
Has been gelded since breaking his maiden in impressive style by three-and-three-quarter-lengths in a mile maiden special weight contest here last April. Represents the Chad Brown barn who can boast a 44% strike-rate (12/27) at this meeting and having raced from off the pace in both starts last year a draw in gate six shouldn’t inconvenience the son of Liam’s Map too much with jockey Manny Franco, on board for both previous starts booked to ride once more.
4:30 pm Aqueduct (Race 8) – Beverly’s Charge 5/2
Showed good form for previous trainer Thomas Amoss last year winning twice including by a wide margin in an allowance at Horseshoe Indianapolis in early November. Contested stronger events on his first two starts for her current handler but returned to form dropped from stakes company to an allowance optional claimer when runner-up at Turf Paradise earlier this month. Likely to race behind the speed and she can take the finale switched to a starter allowance by trainer Michael Maker.
