I can't seem to even get close to hitting a good race at Aqu. Therefore, I am sending out a request for all good handicappers to make a call in, perhaps, the worst field of horses ever assembled at a NYRA track.

Race 5, F & M clm $12,500 going 6f 3yo up.

#1 Soo's Purse, 12-1, Lousy record, last race was vanned off, came back 10 days later and fired a bullet. Drop in class and cut-back may help.

#2 Clap Hands, 4-1, turf-to-dirt, drop into cheap clm, and cut-back in distance. Has shown some speed in prior races.

#6 Shesnobedofroses, 15-1, First timer. Against these, WHY NOT!

As you will note, I have not chosen any of the ml fav's, It is hard to like a horse at 3-1 who is winless in 10 starts or who has never hit the board. Nevertheless, take a look at this less than bad race and post your input as to which one of these you think has a chance. I am certainly not sold on my picks and will gladly welcome your help in hitting a race at the Big A.

    My picks are so bad I can't even get the right race number. The above should be Race 4

    in mdn clm races I look first for the best class horse and my rule of thumb is to find the horse that was the closest to winning at the highest class and in this field that would be the 1 horse as he was 2 1/4 lengths behind in a MSW40,000 - so he will be my key horse 1/2,7,9 in exactas

    Good Luck

    BadBrew:
    Good luck on your selection in race 4 today at Aqueduct. I did notice on your key pick of the #1 that the mdn race you referred to was 11 months ago. Since that time has done little. However, this is hardly a group of stand-outs and the 3,7, & 9 are probably vulnerable at short prices. Going to go with you somewhat and play a small exacta box with 1-2-5 and hope for good luck and a big price.
