Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 1:
Donk is quietly enjoying a good Aqueduct meet hitting the board just shy of 50% of the time. If you draw a line through her last, (4) MIZZYS IMAGE has made steady improvements this year. Now gets a dry track again and probably shows more speed today. I can’t pass on the 12;1 ML against this field where all of them have had many chances.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
We’ll use her with the two favorites for our exacta.
(3) Sweet Sneak and (8) Afleeting Glance
$ 3.00 Exacta Box 3, 4, 8 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use Mizzys Image in R1 and try to cash in on a DAILY DOUBLE play.
(4) Lovely Lady Lexi and (6) Blunt Force look solid in the 2nd
$ 7.00 Double 4 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Little Pete's Spot Pick 3:
Race 3:
Big scratch in this one which is switching my play. I am going to take a chance on (4) Mac's Revolution to wire this field. I think an aggressive ride from Dylan will allow this horse to get a head start on the field and no one else in this field really intimidates me. (1) Flowers for Lisa is also going to be forwardly placed and I think if (4) slows down late then I like the chance of this horse running to the wire first. I also will include (5) Heavy Roller who I think will have a late surge to try and take this one and if the fractions are fast early then this horse should be able to do it.
$3.00 WPS 4 Cost: $9.00
$2.00 Ex Box 1,4,5 Cost: $12.00
Race 4:
I think this will be a competitive race in here so going to spread a bit.(1) Dark Money looks dangerous off the claim and will be forwardly placed in this sprint. (2) Steam Engine is another horse who will seek the early lead and could run away from the field from the two inside posts. (7) Runaway Lute and (8) Sicilia Mike are going to be two others that I include to run a similar tracking race and have a good stretch drive to compete late.
$3.00 WPS 1 Cost: $9.00
$2.00 Ex 1,2 w/ 1,2,7,8 Cost: $12.00
$1.00 Ex 7,8 w/ 1,2,7,8 Cost: $6.00
Race 5:
My top pick will be (6) Spikes Shirl who I think will just be too much class for this field and be able to sustain a huge run under Lezcano. I alos like (3) Ninth Hour in here to run a big race at the Big A. This horse will be sent towards the front early and challenge this lower level field to pass late and could be too much of an ask for them. (1) Control Stake is going to be a late runner and that could be a dangerous type of horse in here if the early fractions are blistering. Last play is (9) Oh My Papa who has the connections and will be sent to the lead early, which could equate to a repeat winner.
$3.00 WPS 6 Cost: $9.00
$2.00 Ex 3,6 w/ 1,3,6,9 Cost: $12.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(4) THE CARETAKER tried better last time and McCarthy almost got there. That was first off the claim and the connections wheel him right back for more. The extra distance shouldn’t matter in this one turn 1M. All systems go. (6) VINTAGE HOLLYWOODis the sleeper in here. He’s looked awful in his last two but that was against much better than he’s meets today. Noda leans on Davis to get him back on track as he did the last time he tackled fellow NY Breds. (8) DURKIN’S CALL has shown flashes of his old self but usually has come up short. One of these days he’ll get there and with the address change off the Atras claim, maybe that day is today. (3) BEACH ACCESS has put two decent runs together in his last two, joins a new barn and gets in light. He may not notice the jump in class and keep going.
$7.00 WPS 6 Cost: $21.00
$3.00 Ex 4,6 w/ 3,4,6,8 Cost: $18.00
Race 7:
(6) ZAEVION is Dialed In right now rattling off three in a row. He jumps up in class today but looks up to the task. He’ll probably need to rate today as the speedy (2) FOOLISH GHOST will likely go. He seems to struggle with 7F so I can’t quite pull the trigger. They would be foolish to leave him alone up top as he may forget to stop. The extra furlong may help (1) MORE GRAYTFUL get there. I like the switch to Manny and the inside draw after this one went five wide as the favorite last time. (4) BUSTIN SHOUT is as sharp as they come right now. He and Carmouche were gaining on Ghost last time and the extra distance will also help him. He seems to like the Aqueduct dirt too.
$7.00 WPS 4 Cost: $21.00
$3.00 Ex 1,4 w/ 1,2,4,6 Cost: $18.00
Race 8:
I can’t ignore the gate works that (2) TACO BEAN has put together for his debut. This Alpha can go with a clean break and forget too stop. His stable mate, (1) RAGGAE MUSIC MAN, was impressive first out so we’re looking for Taco to do the same. Reggae closed to be a clear 2nd and that should set this guy up for another run. (5) BIG BROWN SHOES also came out running in his debut and gets L1. Similar effort puts him right there as well. Abreu has hit the board 50% of the time this meet. He sends out firster (6) ROGUE LEADER for hot Sire Laoban. He may want Mo distance but is worth a shot at this price.
