There are plenty of stakes to choose from this Saturday and there is no shortage of Breeders’ Cup implications. The Champagne has implications beyond the Breeders’ Cup and into who […]

Key Races & Bets for Saturday October 5th, 2024

Frizette Stakes – Race 7 at Aqueduct (Belmont at the Big A) – Post Time 3:17 PM Eastern
Top Win Contender: Another Cleeshay, Senza Parole, Snowyte

Another Cleeshay may be ignored in the betting off a maiden win at Saratoga compared to others with stakes races recently. However, she won much more easily than the 78 Equibase Speed Figure makes it appear, virtually galloping late to a nine and one-half length win. This was AFTER tossing her head to the side when the gate opened, breaking eighth of 10, before easily gaining the lead and not showing any signs of mis-expending any energy. Trainer Contessa won the 2023 Hopeful Stakes for two year olds last year at 50 to 1 odds off a horse with just a maiden win and I think this filly is going to be well worth wagering on today as she can post the upset.

Another Super Saturday

Key Races & Bets for Saturday September 28th, 2024

Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes – Race 6 at Aqueduct (Belmont at the Big A) – Post Time 2:40 PM Eastern
Top Win Contender: Emmanuel, Far Bridge, Silver Knott
Other contenders: War Like Goddess

There is little doubt in my mind Get Smokin will go for the lead and open up, as he draws the rail and only wins when leading from the start. He won the 2023 Kentucky Turf Cup at this 12 furlong trip in that fashion, and he won the United Nations Stakes at 11 furlongs in July the same way, but there are too many good horses in this field who, in spite of the early pace, can run him down late.
