Default 3/4: Aqueduct (6th-9th); Santa Anita ($82k C/O)

YESTERDAY: Gulfstream P4 proved nearly unhittable Wednesday, and just 2 .50 plays negotiated the quad successfully for an outrageous $51.5k each. The first three winners paid $20.00 (4th choice Super Add Rocket to the Moon), $54.00 (Unused Giovanna Alyssa) and $21.00 (4th choice Super Add Mannington) before logical $10.60 (Top choice Best Value Intercoastal) prevailed in the nightcap. Had a pretty good afternoon overall, catching some cashers with $12 Best Value Koka Kola Ocean keying a $46 tri ($1) and Intercoastal tripping the 9th race exotics including the $146 triple ($1). Hope you did well!

TODAY: Sensed when crazily bet (3-5) Bulldogger went down to defeat in Santa Anita 6th that a carryover was in the offing, and sure enough, surprise winners kept coming. $82k P6 and $41k Hi-5 carries as a result, with both nearly unplayable due to the difficulty factor. I take a swing below, but advise that the sextet sequence and Cal-bred MSW nightcap down the hill (!), are brutally tough. Had previously looked at the Aqueduct P4, so that's offered for your consideration as well.


AQUEDUCT


PRE-SCRATCHES


6th: NYB-MSW, 4+, 6f (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Has long-suffering and perrenial show pony Spencerific perhaps found a field he can beat? Return to race 2 back might be good enough here, but track was giving it up to speed again yesterday, and off pace types may be up against it again today..

Best Value: #4 Spencerific 6-1 4th
Super Add: #6 Ruling Decision 5-1 5th


7th: NYB-OC/N2X, F&M-4+, 1m-70y (P3, DD, Super)

Not that impressed with underlaid 9-5 Rice fave #2 Shot Gun Gal who is being asked to stretch her speed, but there isn't a lot here that seems interested in going with her..

SANTA ANITA


PRE-SCRATCHES


3rd: S/ALW, 3yo, 1m-T (P6, P3, DD, Super)
