Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(2) TRUTHORCONSEQUENCE makes her Aqueduct debut and brings her rider with her. She has shown speed so the instructions will be go and see if they can catch her. She's posted some decent speed figures at different tracks and she may have found the right group to wire them.
I’ll use (1) Tammy's Cruiser and (4) Auroralinna underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 2 w/ 1, 4 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (2) Truthorconswquence in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) Aggregation and (3) Cool andy in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 2 w/ 2, 3 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(5) MATHEA ran into Hot Currency in her debut and then showed promise when she stretched out to this 1M distance last time. Now Hennig adds L1 and looms large. We don't know what to expect from the Rice first timer so I'm going against that one here. Of the others that have raced, (4) IMNOBODYSFOOL Is the one I want. She too adds L1 and this Classic Empire should have no problem with the extra furlong.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 5 w/ 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 12.00
Race 7:
(5) MOON GATE and (8) MAJESTIC RETURN may turn this into a match race. The other four looked to be struggling right now. Both Moon and Majestic have speed and the jockeys will use their speed wisely. I'll side with Franco and the rail and look for Moon Gate to edge clear in the late stages.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 5, 8 w/ 3, 5, 6, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(2) KAVANAUGH looms large as Franco takes over after this guy tried several class hikes above this group last time. He finds a more realistic spot today. (4) PRINCE OF DANCE has collected a check in the last two and should be right there for another one. I'll lean on the Vino Rosse colt, (9) MALDINI, shipping in from Canada. His best speed figure came on dirt and has a stalking outside post and late kick that should stand out on this slight drop.
