Today’s analysis and picks done pre-scratches.
Aqueduct • Race 8 • 3:47 p.m. ET [PPs] Small field in this non-graded stakes race for 3YO fillies. Short prices abound... The pace projects to be a slow one. I get the feeling after reading the PPs that this is a group of horses that haven’t lived up to their expectations as of yet. All but 1 Gambling Girl and 3 Affirmative Lady are last time out winners. I’m going to take a shot with 5 Aniston to upset the favorites here; the trainer/jockey combo is 7-for-21 in 2022-23. This is a step up in class but figures to be her best distance
Picks: 5-3-2-1
NAIL 🔨 Pick: Oaklawn Park • Race 3 • 2:28 p.m. ET Controlling speed here belongs to 1 Midnight Majesty. This gray held on to win last time going 6.5 furlongs; the cutback to 6f today is a plus. This is a step up in class but not an overwhelming field.
2023 NAIL record: 6-1-4-0
Best of luck!
