11/10: Aqueduct ($72k C/O); Churchill (8th-9th); Hollywood (5th)
 

Took a thorough thrashing at Aqueduct Wednesday when a parade of $20 winners scuttled P6 attempts and almost anything else attempted. In the wake of the prices is a $72k two day C/O for Thursday. In addition to the P6 sequence, Aqueduct played host to Mucho Macho Man's return to the races in a 1m ALW. Kathy Ritvo's charge could not have been more impressive in the sharp wire-to-wire effort which left a solid field panting and earned a 95 Beyer. Thursday welcome Hollywood Park back to the oval roster, and a good late P4 is offered while Churchill has an excellent MSW/ALW DD in the 8th-9th..

5th: ALW/N1X, 3+, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Best Value: #9 Tucky 30-1: Have no clue if there is truly any upside in this 5yo Chicago transplant, but his AP poly races are not far off the players in this group and his Cali debut at 74-1 was better than it looks on paper. Might not be a bona fide win candidate, but certainly can be used to boost your exotic tix.. 12th

Exotics Use: #4 Antidote 8-1 4th
Next Best: #11 Bailouttheminister 6-1 3rd

Good luck!

107k C/O @ Golden Gate as well for any Baze/Hollendorfer lovers/haters out there.

#11 Admired in CD R8 worked very fast at OBS. There are a few things not to like about her, but I still think she's a very solid play.

2nd at 20-1. . .

2nd at 20-1. Nice.

I think I probably would've done better if she was third, but it's better than nothing.

Nice Steve!

Nice work, Steve! :$:

I know I told you this morning that I was going to punch your pk6 because I didn't have time to handicap, but I got stuck in court and couldn't. Was able to punch the late pk4, though!

Thanks and keep up the great work!!

A Byk Four!! Nicely done, Captain! Glory in Motion getting up in the final jumps was juicy.

I guess I am lucky I didnt see your changes and rolled you P6 numbers in P3s and the P4. Hit races 5-9 on your original picks.small tickets and big payoffs. Thanks again.

Great job Steve!

Congrats, and thanks as always!!:tro::$:

That was a great tip.

I, of course, remembered a 1/4 mile into the race.

Hence why I waited until the 8 was well clear before saying hello.

I don't think you waited that long.

You're a tough man to corral.

Larry, Dave, HB,. Nick, Tom:

Thanks. Was a fun afternoon. Dave is right that the first pass had the single of Glory in Motion which made it possible to include Lime Zest for a 5/6 conso. The SCR's actually hurt the play. Still a productive day. Hope everyone did well. $188k at AQU and $335k+ at Golden Gate!

Nice run Bri. Looked like a winner turning for home. I too would have prefered she finish behind Open Water.

An 85 Beyer for Sacristy.

(Seperately, still no fig for Hierro from Wednesday...)
