Horse Racing

There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Sunday, including at Aqueduct race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time, up 247.25 units dating back to August 5.

Here are 3 runners we expect to perform well today. It’s time to dive in and discuss these potentially profitable plays.

1:48 pm Aqueduct (Race 4) – Laochi 4/5

Has finished on the board in three of his five previous starts most recently when upped to stakes company for the state-bred New York Stallion Series Stakes over this course and distance last month. Performed well to finish third having been slowly away on that occasion having raced prominently when third in a six furlong maiden special weight here prior. Sets the standard on form and can get off the mark with Eric Cancel taking the ride.

2:18 pm Aqueduct (Race 5) – Royal Realm 6/5

Broke his maiden at Belmont Park in May last year and has since delivered some solid placed efforts including when placed in starter allowance company at this venue on his two most recent starts. Came home five-and-three-quarter-lengths third over this mile distance on his latest outing and switched to a claimer the Richard E Schosberg-trained gelding is taken to register a victory having delivered a 49.90 four furlong breeze on the dirt training track at Belmont Park a week ago.

3:50 pm Aqueduct (Race 8) – Miss Leslie 8/5

A multiple minor stakes winner in her 16 race career the daughter of Paynter ended last year with two such victories at Laurel Park including when delivering a career best figure in winning by three-and-three-quarter-lengths in the mile-and-one-eighth Carousel Stakes three weeks ago. The four-year-old was ridden with restraint that day and with regular pilot Angel Cruz in the saddle she can employ hold up tactics with success to register a fourth consecutive victory and a first at this venue.
