Aqueduct (Wood Memorial Day full card) Selections



SATURDAY, APRIL 8
AQUEDUCT
 
SPOT PLAYS
 
Race 7
#2 Lady Jasmine
Won at first asking last summer as a 2yo at Saratoga, and that’s a rare occurrence for trainer David Donk, who almost never cranks up his first starters yet for their best efforts. The win was enough to earn Lady Jasmine a step up vs. stakes competition in her next start in the PG Johnson Stakes, but something clearly went wrong that day and Lady Jasmine has been sidelined ever since. Now she returns for Donk, who does well with horses returning from long layoffs, and has obvious talent that led to her turf win at Saratoga. Speed figures, which were earned in young early season 2yo races, are not indicative of what this horse will do now as a 3yo, leading to a severe overlay in the odds at 8-1 on the morning line.
 
 
Race 11 – Wood Memorial
#5 Slip Mahoney
Plus exacta box w/ #13 Hit Show
#5 Slip Mahoney exits a remarkable second-place finish in the Gotham Stakes at one mile at Aqueduct where he appeared to have lost all chance at the break leaving him at the back of the 14-horse field. Slip Mahoney is not a closer. He owns good tactical speed and ideally should be on or close to the pace where he belongs, given anything better than a disastrous start. There’s not a lot of speed entered in the Wood Memorial, so expect Slip Mahoney to press the pace of #7 Arctic Arrogance and take over when that horse tires for trainer Brad Cox
 
Play in exacta box w/ #13 Hit Show, who should combine with Slip Mahioney for an all Brad Cox exacta box. Hit Show will likely be the favorite in this spot based on his last-out 5 ½-length win in the Withers Stakes at this course and distance. He will indeed be tough if he repeats that winning effort, but he’s vulnerable on Saturday because he drew post 13.
