Horse Racing picks for Aqueduct race track on Thursday, February 3: High hopes for Stanhope

Horse Racing

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 263.25 units dating back to August 5.

Here are 3 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.

12:50 pm Aqueduct (Race 1) – Long Term 3/5

Placed second on both of his previous starts including when beaten three-and-a-half-lengths by an all the way winner in a mile-and-one-eighth maiden special weight contest at the start of last month. The drop in trip here is no issue having performed well when two lengths second over seven furlongs on debut here prior and coming into this contest on the back of a 50.82 four furlong breeze he looks capable of delivering a victory for the powerful Todd Pletcher barn.

1:50 pm Aqueduct (Race 3) – Default Protection 8/5

Caught the eye when debuting with a third place finish when debuting with a third to two more experienced rivals in a six furlong maiden special weight here at the start of December and duly got off the mark at the second time of asking when the wide margin winner of a mile contest here at the start of last month. Wide draw should prove no issue here and the Quality Road filly looks up to completing a double.

2:50 pm Aqueduct (Race 5) – Stanhope 2/1

A winner at this venue back in 2019 the selection showed promise when finishing third in a claiming contest over six furlongs here at the start of last month when making his 2022 debut. Tackles a slightly stronger contest here but receives weight from all of his rivals and he is taken to register a third career success with his jockey on that occasion Jose Gomez taking the ride for the meetings top trainer Rudy Rodriguez.
