Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

(4) SO VAIN goes out first time for Rice after a stumble left her with too much to do. This barn must have saw something in this filly as they gave her one workout and sending her right back out there. Kendrick takes over and they cut her back slightly. A lot to like here.

I’ll use (3) Power Of Women and (6) Icy Legs underneath for the exacta.

$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 4 w/ 3, 6 Cost $ 14.00

We’ll also use (4) So Vain in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(6) Solomini's World and (5) Magni in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 4 w/ 5, 6 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 6:

(2) WHITTINGTON PARK has several races in his past performances that win this race. The only question is which Whittington shows up. Some are good and others not so much. (5) SHADOW DRAGON switches barns and they attract Jose to ride. He's been solid for a while now, and I don't see him stopping anytime soon. I'll lean more on (6) EZ ROLL as this guy has been on a roll lately. The farther, the better for this guy, as two turns, one lap around this Aqueduct oval should be perfect.

$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00

Race 7:

We'll spread out here as it looks wide open to me. (2) CYCLONITE doesn't win much but collects checks. Someday he gets there first. (3) LEARNTODISCOVER ships in for Walsh after two stake tries. (7) CUANO is the speed and they have to catch him. I'm landing on (10) STRATE CASH who has some high-speed figures and a fast work to make him sharp for his NY return.

$ 7.00 WPS 10 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 3, 10 w/ 2, 3, 7, 10 Cost $ 18.00

Race 8:

We'll spread out here as it looks wide open to me. (4) CHUMMERS drops slightly for this and they add Prat. A major player. (6) TIM AND SAM comes from a hot barn. His return race is nothing to write home about but I'm guessing he needed it and will show more today. (7) CHIPS AND FISH is the speed and they have to catch him. I'll include (9) MIKE'S MAGIC at a price. Maybe they are hoping for rain later in the card before coming out but they could be trying turf as there is some in his blood.
