Race 3
#2 Oldfashioned Style
Plus play an exacta box w/#3 Wealth Effect
#2 Oldfashioned Style exits a pair of ambitious stakes spots and showed her potential and ability two races ago with a second-place finish in the G3 Tempted stakes at here at Aqueduct at one-mile. Well-suited to this stretchout at extra distance at 9 furlongs on the main track, and this Graded stakes-placed horse gets to face a field of mostly recent maiden winners here today.
Play in exacta box w/ #3 Wealth Effect, who goes out for trainer Chad Brown coming out of a solid second-place effort last time in her first career dirt race, closing well against a speed bias to be runner-up while seven lengths clear of the third-place horse. Still had tons of run last time at one mile, and the lone career win so far came at 1 1/16th miles, so this horse more than any other in the field will benefit from this increased 1 1/8-mile distance.
Race 8
#6 Zealous Scholar
Needed a race last time off a 4 ½-month layoff and showed good speed and held on for a solid second-place finish while six lengths clear of the third-place horse that day in a good try on a live and pressured 6 1/2F pace. Would have won the race last time if it were at today’s 6F distance, so the slight cutback will help with improvement imminent today in this second race off the layoff.
