To the Big A for Friday

Thank goodness it's Friday.  Today we look at a nice Turf race at the Big "A", Aqueduct.

Aqueduct Race 8 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance Optional Claiming}
A good quality field of nine will go to the gate in this mile Turf contest.  Denomination (Dominguez / Clement) will be coming off a layoff hoping to find his way to the winners circle.  He has posted the highest speed number over the surface, had a four race progression going into his layoff, and has three robust workouts.  Exclusive Scheme (J. Velazquez / Badgett) will be one of three well prepped challengers with the third highest last out speed number over a longer route and two good workouts.  Quebrada Shriner [ARG] (Lezcano / Barbara) looks to challenge as well with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two strong workouts.  Darjeeling (A. Garcia / Asmussen) looks ready to challenge with a decent last out speed number over a longer route and two hardy workouts.  Let's play the Aqueduct Turf on a nice fall day.
