Horse Racing Picks by Stogie for Saturday, January 11, 2025

Aqueduct Race 7

11 Fade to Grey was last seen finishing second by just a neck at this level for trainer Todd Pletcher. This lightly raced daughter of Palace Malice sports some of the highest dirt speed figures of this group. Win Contender
5 Prides Crossing was a impressive debut winner at Churchill back in May and this Filly has been training exceptionally since, highlighted by a recent 1/30 bullet. Win Contender
2 Bells Beach was no match to a runaway winner last out versus similar. This Chad Brown trainee fits well with these. Major Player

2 Six String has been a model of consistency versus these Louisiana Breds, winning 4 of her last 6 races, including a game neck victory last out in local Stakes for Louisiana Breds. Win Contender
1 Manama Gold didn’t get the best of trips last out finishing a disappointing 4th as the favorite. A cleaner trip today could get this gals pic taken. Win Contender
4 Classy Judy stepped up in class in a big way when defeating a large field of 10 last out here at the Fair Grounds. Don’t Ignore

3 Geaux Sugar enters here in incredible form, winning back-to-back StateBred Stakes in front running fashion. This Gelding appears to be a cut above his rivals in here. Top Pick
6 Jack Hammer bounced a bit last out after reeling off 3 straight victories. Gelding makes his second start off the layoff today and sports 5 trips to the winner’s circle in 8 starts here at the Fair Grounds. Win Contender
5 El Dinero sports some of the best late pace figures of this group. If a speed duel ensues upfront, this Gelding could mow them down in the stretch drive. Don’t Ignore

7 Shaq Diesel hasn’t seen raced day in over 5 months but the work tab looks tight and this David Fawkes trainee has run well off this type of lay-off. This one could make some noise in here at a price. Win Contender
4 Secret Chat enters here off back-to- back victories here at Gulfstream. Colt should be ready to fire once again as he makes his third start off the form cycle. Win Contender
2 Khozeiress has done some of his running right here at Gulfstream, winning 4 of 9 starts with 2 placing and 2 third place finishes. Don’t Ignore

7 Amber Cascade enters here in fine form. Mare was a winner two back versus lower level Allowance types, then was a neck away from defeating Allowance/Optional 2N 80K foes. Mare looks like player versus this group. Win Contender
1 Corningstone was last seen dominating the Mistletoe Stakes here at Oaklawn by a convincing 4 lengths. Any repeat of that performance puts this gal right there at the wire. Win Contender
2 Taxed was no match for the aforementioned last out in the Mistletoe Stakes. Mare tries to turn the tables today. Don’t Ignore
