12/31: Aqueduct (6th-9th); Santa Anita (5th-8th)
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and had a successful year playing the horses. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that for those of us that were too young to appreciate the remarkable Triple Crown exploits of the 70's, 2015 was as dramatic, historic and singularly enjoyable season as we've experienced. It was a special privilege to be in position to try and chronicle it for ATR listeners and I'm not sure how easy it will be to surpass the year's highlights. My position is that the game remains far more vital and vibrant than its' loudest critics want you to believe and I think this past year went a long way towards confirming that. Let's build on these past 12 months and make 2016 another big success. Warm wishes to Derby Trailers, ATR listeners, Dee Tee partners, industry stakeholders and their families for a bountiful New Year filled with health and contentment..
 AQUEDUCT POST-SCRATCHES 6th: NY-CLM, F&M-3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD) Superbly matched set of state bred fillies. Pace should be honest or more..

(And as it happens, '14 Robb victor Commandante runs in the 7th!). With Snacks and Big Business, Good Luck Gus the only other p[articipant with a win over the Inner Track. Ostrolenka is the pacesetter here with Snacks likely setting up shop just off his flank with Angel Arroyo back aboard.
