Aqueduct time, Let’s Ride.

Race 7: 1 1/17 Mile. (Outer Turf) Clm 30000n2L

*Gullet Shot of the Day #2 K. K. Ichikawa (6/1) – He ran ok closing into a moderate pace last time and had a strong gallop out. The extra 1/16 of a mile will help him today and Rosario takes the mount for Nevin, who he rarely rides for.

Race 8: 6 Furlongs. S.Alw 72000n1x

#8 Riken (6/1) – #7 Saratoga Pal (8/5) is clearly the one to beat in here, but the Conductor likes this gelding as the best of the speed. He has a strong early pace advantage in here and you can throw out his last race on a sloppy track. He’ll be the one to catch turning for home.

Race 9: 1 3/8 Mile. (Turf) G3 Red Smith Stakes

#8 Ziyad (9/2) – He didn’t have the easiest of trips last time parked wide behind a slow pace and still finished well. He had been facing much stronger across the pond and should improve in his 2nd start in the US.

#5 North Dakota (10/1) – Also exiting the Sycamore Stakes, he was stuck on the rail in the stretch. He would have been right there with a clean trip and he continues to progress.

Race 10: 1 1/16 Mile. (Outer Turf) S.MC 40000

#7 Open Lengths (10/1) – His debut was rained off the turf along with his last and he had a sloppy track effort in between. He will finally get a chance on the surface he was meant for today and he adds blinkers. In an open race, he has upside.

A competitive horse race begins at Aqueduct with multiple jockeys and horses in action, showcasing the excitement of thoroughbred racing.

The day of reckoning is upon us at Aqueduct. Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 6 Furlongs. Clm 40000n2L

#4 Casper Slew (5/2) – 2nd off the layoff, this colt is steadily progressing and Jose Ortiz hops aboard. He’s working well and looks to get a great trip up close to a moderate pace.

Race 2: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) F.S.Mdn 62k

#8 Chouchou de Boo (8/1) – She ran well in her debut at a huge number in a race taken off the turf. She should move up on the grass an Castellano takes the mount.

Race 3: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) F.S.Alw 66000n1x

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Tempers Way (8/1) – Getting back on the turf, she’s the only girl who wants the lead in year. She has a major chance to wire this field.

Race 4: 6½ Furlongs. Clm 10000

#3 Sir Ballantine (6/1) – Cutting back to a sprint, he’ll be flying late and loves the Aqueduct surface.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Outer Turf) Clm 25000

#2 Celebration (6/1) – He has an early pace edge over this group, which is always dangerous in a turf sprint.

Race 6: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Mdn 70k

#1 Telephone Talker (2/1) – This colt ran very well in his debut sprinting on turf and is bred to be even better on the lawn.

Race 9: 1 3/8Mile. (Turf) G3 Red Smith Stakes

#3 Nakamura (10/1) – He keeps running well regardless of having slow paces to close into. He has huge late pace figures and looks to get a fairer setup today.
