From NY to KY

The Horse Racing weekend starts on Thursday. Today we look at a race at Aqueduct and one at Churchill.

Aqueduct Race 7 {Sabin Stakes~1 1/16 mile~Turf~fillies/mares~3 year old UP}
This is the type of race that handicappers love. Any one of these horses can win. The horse that looks best prepared to win this race is Sea Chanter (J. Velazquez / Pletcher). Her last out speed number is good and she has had three decent works in the last 30 days. Sunshine for Life (Lezcano / Shosberg) looks to be the speed in the race and may be able to hold on for a share. Maddy's Heart (C. Velasquez / Hills) has had the best set of workouts leading up to this event. Always for Love (Molina / Preciado) should be in the hunt for a piece of the purse pie as she is 100% in the money at this distance. Let's play Aqueduct.

$2 SHOW: #8 Sea Chanter
10 CENT Superfecta: #8 Sea Chanter / #7 Sunshine for Life / #2 Maddy's Heart, #9 Always for Love / #2, #9

Churchill Race 8 {6f~3 year old Up~Fillies/Mares~Allowance}
Another competitive race with a solid choice to win it in Film Charm (Desormeaux / Mott). Sweetest Charm (Leparoux / Nafzger) will give her a run for her money closing for home. With the second highest speed number last out and solid works leading up to this race, Sweetest Charm should be in the money and we will focus on her. Argyle Pink (Lanerie / Kenneally) should be in the race even though she has not raced for a year. Pina Colada (Mena / Nihei) should be right near the front until the end. Let's make our Churchill play.

$2 SHOW: #1 Sweetest Song
10 CENT Superfecta: #11 Film Charm / #1 Sweetest Charm / #5 Argyle Pink, #8 Pina Colada / #5, #8
