Horse Racing picks for Aqueduct race track on Thursday, November 30: Leading Contender stays true to name

Horse racing on the turf at Santa Anita

There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Thursday, including at Aqueduct race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and are up +150.65 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.

12:20 pm Aqueduct (Race 1) – Two Redheads 7/5 (2-star play)

The filly broke her maiden when making her debut for current trainer Mertkan Kantarmaci last month. The three-year-old came home six-and-three-quarter lengths clear of her 11 rivals in a $30,000 maiden claiming contest held over this course and distance on that occasion. Jockey Manny Franco, on board that day is again in the saddle here and he looks capable of steering the daughter of Munnings to her second career success following a 52.84 four furlong work at Belmont Park recently.

2:15 pm Aqueduct (Race 5) – Vintage 9/5 (2-star play)

The three-year-old is a three time winner from nine career starts and she maintain her unbeaten record for the Jeffrey S Englehart barn when completing a double in winning by a head in an allowance at Finger Lakes at the end of August. The daughter of Army Mule had previously taken out a $16,000 claiming contest at Saratoga and switched back to a claimer she looks capable of registering a victory with Andre S Worrie up for the first time.

3:42 pm Aqueduct (Race 8) – Leading Contender 9/5 (2-star play)

The son of Gun Runner failed to shine when making his debut at Saratoga in August last year but has shown improved form since a gelding operation placing second twice since breaking his maiden at Monmouth Park in July. The mile-and-three-sixteenths distance here looks likely to suit having shaped as if further would suit when two-and-three-quarter-lengths third over a mile-and-one-eighth at Saratoga on his penultimate start and he looks up to registering his second career win with Javier Castellano booked.
