On the Turf at Baqueduct

 No the headline is not a misprint. The wise guys call the Belmont meet at Aqueduct, Baqueduct. On this Superfecta Sunday we look in on a Turf route.

Baqueduct Race 9 {1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance}

A very evenly matched group of twelve with one coupled entry.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

This talented group of Turfers will make for a highly competitive race. There is enough speed to swing the pace forward. Speed figs are very close. Only four have yet to run over the course. It should be a fantastic race on a very good Sunday card.

#5 Battle of Normandy (Prat / McGaughey) will track the pace over a distance he loves. He has put in a serious four workout tab in preparation. Strong Jockey-Trainer stats will aid him in his effort. A son of City of Light, he is 55% in the money from nine starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#11 Harry Hood (J. Velazquez / Hennig) will challenge with the second highest speed number at the distance and two sound workouts. He relishes the Turf, distance, and course. Look for him to track the pace closely. A son of First Samurai, he is 58% in the money from twelve starts.

#6 Barrage (Rosario / Palmer) has cobbled together three strong speed numbers in his last three and two decent workouts. He has the tactical speed to settle into the pace nicely. This guy has posted the highest speed number at the distance. A son of War Dancer, he is 63% in the money from nineteen starts.

#9 Sambura [GB] (I. Ortiz / Maker) is another with tactical speed which should serve him well in this race. He holds the fourth highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and two hearty peaking workouts. A son of Kingman [GB], he is 31% in the money from nineteen starts.

Other Wagering Interests

#1 Betterdaysrcoming [IRE] (D. Davis / Clement) has also posted the fourth highest last out speed number and three solid workouts. He will track and close into the pace. This guy will be stretching out to this distance. A son of Muhaarar [IRE], he is 66% in the money from twelve starts.

#3 Operation Torch (Alvarado / Pletcher) is another with the fourth highest last out speed number and two robust workouts. He should track the pace closely. This lad loves the Turf and distance. It will be his first effort over the course. A son of War Front, he is 83% in the money from six starts.
