Aqueduct will run two stakes races on Saturday. The Gander is scheduled during the early pick 5. The Stymie will feature some of New York’s hardest trying horses.
Aqueduct- Race 1
Post: 12:50 PM ET; $43k Maiden Claiming going 7 furlongs on dirt; Entries: 7
- #4 WHO ME (2-1) gets the top selection. He has solid early pace figures in a race that looks to lack a ton of front running speed. This one seems to fit well enough here.
- #5 FOUR EYES (7-2) should be sitting in the second tier of runners and looking to make one well timed run at the leaders.
- #1 PETROLO (8-1) should improve off the first start and is probably best to put underneath on most tickets. He was able to hit the board under these conditions on debut.
- #2 AMERICAN GRANT (7-2) has been really solid in recent starts and should be ready to run a big one here. This one will likely be pretty close to the early leaders.
Selections: 4 – 5 – 1 – 2
Aqueduct- Race 2
Post: 1:20 PM ET; $72k Allowance going 6 furlongs on dirt; Entries: 7
- #4 MY MAN MATTY (1-2) is the top pick. He should be part of the early pace in this spot.
- #5 UNO (6-1) appears to be a major player in this race. He shouldn't have trouble with the 6 furlong distance. This one runs evenly and looks to get a very fair pace scenario here.
- #3 BREAKING STONES (8-1) should be competitive in this spot. He has tactical speed and can sit just off the leaders for a stalk and pounce trip. This one has really consistent pace figures which should work well in a moderately paced race.
- #7 LOHENGRIN TWO (7-2) could be in with a shot in this race. He goes out for the Barrera barn and gets Olver in the irons. This one has the top overall power rating in the group.
Selections: 4 – 5 – 3 – 7
Aqueduct- Race 3
Post: 1:50 PM ET; $100k Gander S. going 1 mile on dirt; Entries: 5
- #3 STARQUIST (4-1) looks best here. He shouldn't have trouble with the 1 mile distance. This one goes out for the Kimmel barn and gets Davis in the irons.
- #4 MAKER'S CANDY (6-5) appears to be a major player in this race. He will likely be out on or near the lead and will look to hold off the charge to the wire. This one has proven to be able to handle these conditions in previous starts.
- #2 D'ONT LOSE CRUZ (3-1) should be competitive in this spot. He has hit the board at these conditions before.
- #5 NEURAL NETWORK (5-2) feels like a fringe contender in this spot. This one is talented but will need a bit of setup.
Selections: 3 – 4 – 2 – 5
Aqueduct- Race 4

Aqueduct- Race 5

- #3 JET SET JULIET (6-1) makes sense on speed figures. This one should be part of the early pace in this spot.
