Antiquarian scores at 6/1 Saturday and the train is refueled with coal heading into Mothers’ Day. Get your family obligations out of the way early today passengers, we have a juicy pick 6 carryover at Aqueduct this afternoon. Unfortunately, only the feature stays on the turf today. Frustrating, but we’ll play the hand we’re dealt. Let’s Ride

Race 3: 6½ Furlongs. F.OC 62500n2x

#5 Frau Diablo (3/1) – This filly is steadily progressing and did well to hold onto 2nd after setting a wicked pace going 7 furlongs last time. Nobody can pressure her early in this field, and the shorter distance helps her cause. Gate to wire.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) F.G3 Soaring Softly Stakes

*Gullet Shot of the Day #6 Kodiac Wintergreen (6/1) – This filly showed talent last year sprinting on the turf. She returned off the bench last time at Keeneland and ran a decent 3rd in a stakes race rained off the lawn. With that race under her belt, she looks primed to run a peak effort returning to the turf and making her second start as a 3-year-old. 5-1 or better is a square price.

Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Off Turf) S.MC 40000

#7 Feline Treasure (12/1) – This is an absolutely dismal field after scratches. This gelding exits two sprint races at Aqueduct and will now stretch out to a route for the first time. He’ll be facing his weakest field to date and will be forwardly placed in a race devoid of pace. The Conductor also finds it very interesting that Franco hops aboard for a small barn he never rides for. He may know something the public doesn’t see on paper. Feline Treasure is worth a swing in the finale.
