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.

Race 6 at Keeneland -Post Time 3:40 PM Eastern
Top Contender: American Retro, Glittering Lights
Other contenders: Freydis the Red, Sacred Wish, Pleasant Passage, Olivia Maralda and Storm Bay
I thought I would cover the three races which make up the Keeneland Turf Pick 3, a pick 3 bet which comprises the last three turf races on the day. The bet has a $3 cost per combination, so it can add up quickly, and even if you don’t make the bet, these three turf races are all very playable and interesting.
