Sit Down, Have a Cigar Mile at Aqueduct

This will be an exciting Saturday of a number of stakes races. We look at the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct and the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill. What a great fall day for horse racing.

Aqueduct Race 9 {Cigar Mile Handicap~G1~1 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Kodiak Kowboy (Bridgmohan / Asmussen) looks to add to his millionaire status. Based on his races and work outs leading up to this race, he is ready. Look for him to close strongly to edge out Driven by Success (Dominguez / Levin) at the wire. Highly prosperous, Driven by Success has posted the best work outs and had a solid last out speed number. He is ready to add to his career 84% in the money. Expect him to lead the way. Tremendous Bribon(FR) (Maragh / Ribaudo) will close strongly in the stretch as well. He holds the highest speed numbers across the board and will no doubt give the Kodiak Kowboy chase. Let's make an Aqueduct play.

$2 SHOW: #3 Kodiak Kowboy
NO Superfecta play due to the small field.

Churchill Race 11 {Kentucky Jockey Club~G2~1 1/16 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
As these youngsters assemble in the gate many of their connections are beginning to dream of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Here's to them, as they begin their road to accumulate graded stakes earnings to qualify for the best two minutes in all of sports. The horse that has the best capability today is Thiskyhasnolimit (Albarado / Asmussen). Funny, both our selections today are Asmussen trained pupils. Thiskyhasnolimit is a fabulous closer who has trained vigorously for this event. A quality speed number last out added to the fact that he loves this Churchill track, this guy will close for the wire first. He will have to catch Super Saver (Borel / Pletcher). Given the current economy, why not? The Todd Pletcher trained, Super Saver has some solid speed numbers and clearly the best work outs of this group. Activity Report (Thompson / Lukas) will give chase and be right there with Super Saver on the front end. He holds the highest overall speed number of these youngsters. Look for Worldly (Torres / McGee) and Callide Valley (Theriot / Kenneally) to close aggressively for a piece of the purse. Let's make a great Churchill play.

$2 SHOW: #3 Thiskyhasnolimit
