Stogies Horse Racing

Aqueduct Race 7 Fall Highweight Stakes

  • 9 Giant Mischief exits from a Career top when going gate-to-wire versus a competitive bunch of Allowance/ Optional 100k 3N foes at Keeneland. This Brad Cox trainee has won 4 of 8 Lifetime starts and sports the highest dirt speed figure. Win Contender here.
  • 6 Runninsonofagun drops in class after winning a Grade 3 via disqualification. Gelding’s late-pace numbers have been off the charts in his last two races. He’s a 4-time winner over this main track here at the Big A. Win Contender
  • 3 Baby Yoda has lost his form but does have back races that can get the victory here. A recent 1/245 bullet suggests he’ll get back on track today. Live Longshot

Selections 9-6-3-5


Churchill DownsRace 10 Ms. Revere Stakes Grade 2

  • 6 Pin Up Betty was last seen finishing a respectable 4th versus a very salty group of runners in the QE II Cup at Keeneland. This Grade 3 winning Filly is perfect 2-2 here at Churchill. Top Pick
  • 7 Minoushka Filly made her North American debut a winning one when taking a lower-level Allowance at Keeneland. Filly was able to close into a pedestrian pace upfront and come home very quickly in the stretch. If this gal gets any fast pace early, she’ll be motoring in the stretch drive. Win Contender
  • 2 Buchu is another who would benefit from a hot pace early. Don’t sleep on this multiple Grade 2 winner. Major Player

Selections 6-7-2-3

Churchill Downs Race 11 Clark Stakes Grade 2

  • 6 Hit Show has reeled off 3 straight victories which include back-to-back Grade 2’s. Colt has the tactical speed to be well-positioned early and get the first run at the pacesetters. Top Pick
  • 3 Crupi is a good closer who will likely get the right setup today. Colt has faced much tougher in his last two starts. He fits well with these. A Black Friday Horse Racing Win Contender
  • 9 Cooke Creek is just a neck away from winning 4 straight races. Gelding tried to wire the field last out in the Grade 2 Lukas Classic and was denied by just a neck. Major Threat

Selections6-3-9-8


Del Mar Race 7 Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes Grade 2

  • 4 Divin Props had no chance at victory in the G2 John Henry Turf Classic when Cabo Spirit set a pedestrian pace. This Gelding should get a solid pace upfront to set up his potent late kick. He should relish this mile-and-a-half distance today. Win Contender
  • 11 True Quality is a true professional. The gelding has won at 4 different venues and has finished in the money in 11 of 12 starts. Win Contender
  • 9 Balnikov is another in here who is pace-dependent. He sports a tremendous late foot and will be passing horses late. Major Player for Stogie’s Black Friday Horse Racing
