12/26: Aqueduct ($161k C/O)

[Kasept]

Racing resumes in NY Wednesday with a bonus P6 pool of $161k+ and extra time to evaluate the sextet. Weather as follows:

Tomorrow: Partly cloudy early followed by mostly cloudy skies and a few showers later in the day. High 44F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.

Bigger concern is how track may be playing after 11 day break with surface listed as muddy for Xmas Eve a.m. drills. Track was closed for training Sunday and Tuesday, but in the past week, only 5 of 31 runners recorded half mile drills under :48.0, and but 2 of 35 made 5f in less than 1:00.0, one being Oprah Winney. Am leaning towards expecting a fair inner track Wednesday and will not be surprised if course plays 'slow'...
