Let’s head up to Aqueduct for an early race as we will look at the third race, which is the Affirmed Success which is a race for New York bred older horses going six furlongs on the main track. There’s only five horses entered but it should be interesting nonetheless. Post time is an early one at 2:05 pm Eastern time.
For the second year in a row, the morning line favorite in the Kentucky Derby comes from the stable of Mike Repole. This time, Repole is counting on his prized colt, Fierceness, to not just make it to the starting gate but deliver the long-time owner his first victory.
We will look at the next four fillies who will be running in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday afternoon at Churchill Downs
We have reached the rite of passage where the three-year-old fillies run under the Twin Spires in the Kentucky Oaks, and I thought I would give some initial thoughts on the fillies entered.
We head to Tampa Bay Downs for the final time for their meet as we will look at their seventh race on their card which is a five furlong turf sprint for older horses. Post time is projected for 3:33 pm Eastern time.
We close a successful month of April, at least with win wagers, as we look at the Daily Racing Form’s favorite race on Mondays and Tuesdays, the sixth race at Parx. Today’s edition is a $5000 claiming race for fillies and mares going five and a half furlongs on the main track. The ten fillies and mares head to the gate at approximately 2:59 pm Eastern time.
Bob Baffert won’t have a horse in the race at the 150th Kentucky Derby, but he is vying to enter two into the Preakness Stakes. The Hall of Fame trainer is likely to have Imagination alongside Muth in the second
The weather will be summerlike at Parx today, with highs getting close to 90 degrees. Where did spring go? Anyways, I wish I was on track today, but at least I can dabble from home trying to solve this puzzle.
Happy Sunday everyone for the Sunday edition of Quills Picks Winners as we head back east to Aqueduct as our race today will be the Memories of Silver Stakes, which is a one-mile race on the Aqueduct inner turf course. They have two courses there inside the main track if you never knew. These three-year-old fillies will head to the gate at approximately 4:04 pm Eastern time, and if you want to watch the race live, it will be broadcast live on FS2.
