On this wonderful Saturday in Fall, we look at some of the top horses in New York and Kentucky.

Aqueduct Race 8 {Discovery Handicap~G3~1 1/8 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A small field will assemble at the gate for this race. Gone Astray (Castro / McGaughey) will be the one to beat with the highest speed numbers across the board. He will close strongly for the win. Seeking his third win in a row, he will be tough to beat. We like Haynesfield (Dominguez / Asmussen) as he will be part of the speed team in this race. He should be able to hold on for a place. Bad Action (Cohen / Contessa) should round out the trifecta. There is not superfecta for this race. Let's make our Aqueduct play.

$2 SHOW: #4 Haynesfield

Churchill Race 9 {Cardinal Handicap~G3~1 1/8 mile~Turf~fillies/mares~3 year old UP~Stakes}
Some of the finest trainers will meet up with their charges for this fabulous race. We will give the edge to Acoma (Castanon / Carroll) as she has solid speed numbers and is two wins for two tries over the Churchill track. Despite a rather long layoff, Long Approach (Desormeaux / Sheppard) has raced well after a layoff. Trainer, Jonathan Shepphard will have her ready. You Go West Girl (Lezcano / Proctor) has decent speed numbers, nice race progression, and a good work out for this race. My Baby Baby (Albarado / McPeek) will do well also. She has solid speed numbers and arguably the best works leading up to this race. Let's make our Churchill play.

$2 SHOW: #3 Acoma
10 CENT Superfecta: #3 Acoma / #5 Long Approach / #1 You Go West Girl / #7 My Baby Baby

Friday's Result
Fairgrounds R8. Our pick, Wing a Ding, did not take well to the turf and finished last (7th). Superfecta went 4-3-9-7.
Our bankroll sits at $12.70. Make your Saturday a prosperous one.
