Today’s Horse Racing Picks: Aqueduct, Gulfstream Park & Santa Anita – January 23, 2026

Aqueduct Race 7

10 Top of the Table nearly went gate to wire when running at this condition 3 weeks ago. Mare makes her second start off the claim for trainer Linda Rice, who hits at 27% winners off that angle. Win Contender

6 Rachel’s Rock takes a huge drop in class after being claimed for 40k which is a concern. However this Mare’s work tab looks solid off the extended layoff. If this gal is anywhere near 100% fit, she’s your likely winner. Win Contender 

1 Mitole’s Girl must be considered as she makes her first start in the very good Brad Cox barn. Dont Ignore

Selections 10-6-1-4

Gulfstream Park Race 7

6 Thankfully makes her first start for the very capable George Weaver barn who hits at a respectable 23% winners with newbies to his stable. Filly was last seen finishing second by just a half length on the All-Weather surface here at Gulfstream. Filly was game that day to finish, fighting tooth and nail on the front end. I believe she’s can clear this group and never look back. Win Contender

8 Midnightloveaffair is one of few in here who likes to track and pounce. With all the want the lead types in here, this race just might set up perfectly for this daughter of Midshipman. Win Contender

7 I’mwishingonastar could be part of the mix with the drop in class today. Major Threat

Selections 6-8-7-10

Gulfstream Park Race 9

5 Su Win steps up the class ladder after an impressive score at this distance on the turf here. Filly has been double digit odds in three career starts and has won 2 of those 3 races. I hope they disrespect this Filly once again at the windows. Win Contender 

3 The Dove Rules was second best versus similar last out, runs second of the layoff, and gets a red hot Jockey/ Trainer combo. Looks like recipe for a victory today. Win Contender 

2 Dominant Diva has performed well in 3 dirt starts here at Gulfstream. Filly tries the blades for the first time and if she takes to the green, she’ll be a player here. Win Contender

Selections 5-3-2-1

Santa Anita Race 6

6 Cash in Toknight has shown sharp early foot against much tougher competition, sports a red hot Jockey /Trainer combo and returns to the main track. Win Contender

5 Tammy Baby gets first time juice for trainer Jeff Bonde who enters multiple runners in here today. Filly ran a credible 4th despite a troubled trip when running at this condition at Del Mar back in November. I believe this Fillyis sitting on a big effort. Win Contender

3 Shady Stripes best race on her short resume was her second place debut finish over this main track here at Santa Anita. She’ll get first time Lasix today. Major Threat

Selections 6-5-4-3
