Withers Stakes at Aqueduct

Race 8 @ 4:25 EST

I like the 4 horse, Gilded Age @10-1 (probably down to 8-1) at post time.

$50 Win 4

$5 exacta box (1,2,4)

$1 trifecta 4w/1,2,9 w/ 1,2,3,5,6,9,11

$98 total

Early Voting may vie for the lead with Courvoisier,  Constitutionlawyer, and possibly Smarten Up. However, a hot pace would set the Withers up for a closer, and Gilded Age fits the profile of previous Withers winners.

Ran down the favorite in a pretty impressive finish at Churchill. Track yielding?

 May run em down again at a good price Hawk. Ive got a small Future on Courvoisier. Interesting race. gl

...........and second place didn't do me any good. 

On to THE REBEL!

This is wild....the gelding who ran 2nd @28-1 in the Wither's, #4 Un Ojo, ended up winning the Rebel paying $152/$41/$!8.

I was getting my butt kicked yesterday & made one play in Race 10 wheeling #8 Stayed in Half with Gafflione/Asmussen. He won as the chalk paying $5.50 & I checked the double payoffs & most were crappy. So I logged off & concentrated on college basketball.

Checked my account this afternoon & saw the DD 8-4 paid $255 with this longshot winning the Rebel. 

Pure luck as I didn't have a solid play in the Rebel so I took a $11 double wheel approach.
