Horse Racing Picks Today: Aqueduct, Keeneland & Oaklawn | Best Bets & Value Plays

Aqueduct Race 7 Plenty of Grace Stakes

5 Accent has won 3 straight races to start off her career down at Tampa Bay Downs. Filly’s turf speed figures continue to rise with each start as she ascends the class ladder for trainer Chad Brown. She is 6-1 on the morning line and offers a sweet value at those odds. Win Contender 

7 And One More Time drops in class and cuts back in distance today which could be a recipe for a victory. She was facing much tougher than these in her last 2 starts and fits well here. Win Contender 

1O Oversubscribed exits from a disappointing 4th place finish in a local Stakes race at the Fair Grounds. Gal has back class and sports a nice resume here at the Big A, winning 2 of 4 races with 2 placings. Major Threat

Selections 5-7-1-3

Keeneland Race 9 Baird Doubledogdare Stakes Grade 2

1 Alpine Princess was last seen finishing second in the Grade 3 Royal Delta down in South Florida. The winner of that race Claret Beret would go on to win a Grade 1 next out. She sports the red hot Jockey Trainer of Irad and Cox. Gal rarely runs a bad race and I expect a strong effort once again. Win Contender 

3 Eunomia has won 3 of 4 races with her only loss in that span coming when she tried to take a salty group of runners gate-to-wire in the G3 Royal Delta. Expect Jockey Flavien Prat not to make that mistake today. Filly likely will run just off the pace setters and get first run at the early leaders. Win Contender 

4 Gin Gin has a class edge over the competition in here but has been idle since November of 25′ Mare might need a race. Use with Caution 

Selections 1-3-4-7

Keeneland Race 10

5 Amani’s Music was very game on debut when finishing second by a head on the All-Weather surface down in South Florida. Filly tries the blades for the first time and is Bred to take to the surface switch. Top Pick

7 Twirling Claire has run two very strong races to start off her career, including a third place finish last out despite being interfered with in the stretch drive. Stewards moved her up to second via DQ, she very well could have won the race. Win Contender 

2 Fools Adventure is a first time starter whose looked sharp with her morning works on the blades. Don’t Ignore

Selections 5-7-2-3

Oaklawn Race 9

7 Stronghold hasn’t seen race day in over 7-months but this Grade 1 winning son of Ghostzapper has been training well for his return. He gets first juice today and even if this one isn’t 100%, I still feel he handles this group. Top Pick

2 Gould’s Gold is another in here who will benefit from the drop in class. He makes his third start of the form cycle today and I love that 1/90 bullet, two works back. Win Contender 

6 Bendoog came back off a near 4-month hiatus to finish second by 1 to the very good Saudi Crown. This Billy Mott trainee earned a triple digit Bris number that day. Any repeat of that effort puts this one right there at the wire. Win Contender
