Aqueduct & Oaklawn Park Picks Today | Best Bets & Predictions

Aqueduct Race 7

6 Wynstock was last seen finishing a distant 4th over sloppy conditions here at the Big A. 5 year old never seemed to get a hold of the track that day and I’m going to forgive that effort. The race prior to that dud, this Brad Cox trainee and son of Solomini ran a career top at this two turn distance, winning by over 7-lengths. Win Contender 

7 Dreamlike sports the best late pace numbers of his rivals in here today and if the pace heats up early, this Linda Rice trainee just might run them down at the wire. Win Contender 

4 Le Gris could make some noise in here at a price. Gelding appears to be the controlling speed and if left alone on the lead, he might be a tough customer to run down in the stretch drive. Major Player

Selections 6-7-4-1

Aqueduct Race 8

7 Forgone takes a significant drop in class after being eased up in slop versus much tougher than these. Gelding fits well here. Top Pick

10 Fiscal Drag finished third at this level in most recent start, coming from 10- lengths after being out run early. A move forward off that effort puts this Gelding in the mix at the wire. Win Contender 

6 Magni runs back at this level after finishing a good second in the slop here. Major Threat

Selections 7-10-6-2

Oaklawn Park Race 9 Matron Stakes

3 Zeitlos hasn’t seen race day in over 4-months but does sport a class edge over her competition today. Mare has faced some salty runners in Graded Stakes races and has run well. She’s a closer in race that likely has a hot early pace, has won 2 of 3 here at Oaklawn and has won off this type of a layoff in the past. I love this 8-1 shot today. LIVE LONGSHOT 

9 Foie Gras enters here in fine form after winning back-to-back Restricted local Stakes races hereat Oaklawn. The waters get much more deeper here but this Filly is training lights out and I can foresee a move forward today. Win Contender 

6 Haulin Ice has been at Oaklawn Park win machine, winning 7 of 9 races here. Gal won this race last by over 5-lengths. My only concern is she’s a want the lead types whose gonna face some early pressure. Still, it’s hard to leave this win machine off your tickets. Major Threat

Selections 3-9-6-5

Oaklawn Park Race 11 Fantasy Stakes Grade 2

5 Sticker Shock is a lightly raced Uncle Mo Filly who has progressed nicely in each consecutive start. She recently defeated winners at first asking offher maiden score. She now makes here see second start off the layoff and get the aggressive Irad Ortiz Jr in the irons. Uncle Mo siblings move forward at quick rate and I expect this gal to do just that today. Top Pick

3 Counting Stars closed very well with an outside trip in the G3 Honeybee, finishing second by just under a length. Filly enters here off a 1/39 bullet. Win Contender 

1 Serch Party finished an even 4th in the Honeybee last out and will need to improve to defeat the top 2. Use Underneath
