Furlong Friday in Chilly New York

We take in some six furlong action before the big weekend of Kentucky Derby prep races.

Aqueduct Race 8 {6 Furlongs~4 year-old Up~NY~Allowance}

A nice field of eight NY breds will hit the "Big A" dirt in this allowance feature. There is enough speed to keep the pace honest. Speed figs are very close giving any one of these horses a chance to pull off the victory. It should be a very good race.

#3 Koscuiszko (Cancel / Quick) looks to show more improvement with the second highest speed number at the distance and two decent workouts. This colt relishes the distance and the Aqueduct track. A son of Smart Bid, he should track the pace in good position to make a run in the stretch.
$1 WIN  /  $2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#8 Leaky Cup (Alvarado / Kimmel) is the morning line favorite holding the fourth highest last out speed number and four quality peaking workouts. This gelding shows the highest speed number at the distance. A son of Central Banker, he should be forwardly placed.

#4 Durkins Call (D. Davis / Mott) should challenge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and two hearty workouts. He sports the highest speed number over the Aqueduct track. A son of Jump Start, he is another that will be tracking the pace-setters.

#6 Daddy Knows (J. Lezcano / L. Rice) should find himself in contention with a couple of very good last out speed numbers. This landed the win in his only start over the Aqueduct oval. He is 72% in the money from seven career starts. A son of Scat Daddy, he could be part of the pace scenario serving up tactical speed.
