11/28: AQU Inner Opener
 

Big A action moves to the quirky inner track today for a long run; Grass still an option at least for a few days. The inner is not always as ridiculously speed-favoring as it's made out to be, though recent seasons have shown there will be stretches where cheap frontrunners hang on and on and on for days, or weeks, at a time... What is most consistant about the inner, is the way some campaigners succeed over it year after year. Horses that are ordinary at Belmont and Saratoga, and even the Aqueduct main, regularly become Citations on the 'inner tube'.

Opening Day of the Winter Session has a tough P4 sequence as the $25k/NW3L 7th looks particularly like a trap race with many seemingly capable of upsetting.

Thanks Steve! Glad to have your input at AQU.

The "Inner Track Lovers" you mentioned is something I really keyed in on last year. Also found it especially useful when those type went off the Inner and got overbet. .

Any thoughts on how the inner track changes once the ground freezes? Is that when certain horses really outperform on the inner, or is it just a function of the surface in general?

The 6th is off the turf ( which is a blessing if you really liked the Hennig horse ).

6th
 

I relly like Jenny's On Radio in this race to run a big one.

Thx Andrew!

Here's the complete SCR/CHG...

Sickened.. Got off Survived with the move from the grass.

Me too... Featured him prominently when I thought race was on grass. Was hard for me to like very much considering his 3 dirt starts on the program. Damn you Gary Contessa...lol.

That late pick 4 payed over $7000!!!

Certainly not an impossible sequence. Just off a bit in the 8th...ouch.

That is mindboggling. The parlay was around $1300. It was obviously because the 8th winner was 20-1 or so in the Pick-4 ( hell I had the other 3 on a $48 play....hardly genius ). That was a tough horse to like. The main speed stumbling badly at the start certainly helped make her a winner.

$21,500 carryover too....

$48 ticket? You will NEVER make money playing tickets that small. Sorry, had to.

I was hoping somebody would pick up on that.

So much for the "chalk parade"...

That was a good one...

Any idea if they will be back on Turf tomorrow at AQU?

Forecast looks OK.

They sort of have to keep at least the first one on unless we get rain.
