Track: Aqueduct Racetrack, New York
Surface: Dirt & Outer Turf
Style: Value-Driven Playbook for Smart Bettors
The fall meet at Aqueduct continues today with a balanced card — a little dirt, a little turf, and plenty of opportunities to find soft spots where the public is asleep. Today’s Raymond Track Report horse racing tipsheet emphasizes mid-tier longshots with tactical positioning and rider intent.
Race 1 – $45,000 Claiming | 1 Mile Dirt
Top Play: (1) Lost in Rome – 6-1
A gritty veteran who knows this track well. Brew Pub (6) brings consistent speed, and Saratoga Flash (7) profiles well for trifectas.
Bet Structuring: Exacta 1/6 and 6/7 boxes; Trifecta 1/6/7 box.
Expect the rail trip to pay dividends early.
Race 2 – $150,000 Stakes | 1 Mile Dirt
Top Play: (4) Secane – 9-5
Sharp form and proven mile stamina make Secane the one to beat. Shilling (2) offers overlay potential, and Believable (5) could hang around for a piece.
Approach: Use Secane as a key in exotics, but box 4/2/5 for protection.
Race 3 – $80,000 Maiden Special Weight | 6½F Dirt
Top Play: (6) Lady Angelina – 8-1
Improving filly with a rider upgrade; offers good closing fractions. Neri (3) and Red Boots (1) are both capable if pace melts.
Play: 6/3 and 3/1 exacta boxes.
Chaos maiden sprint—bet small, dream big.
Race 4 – $82,000 Allowance Optional Claiming | 1 Mile Turf
Top Play: (5) Alan Turing – 8-1
Pattern horse peaking at the right time. Mo Trump (3) and American Grant (1) bring experience. Conman (6) adds spice to deeper exotics.
Play: Turf races = trip-dependent. Hedge with trifecta box 5/3/1.
Race 5 – $35,000 Maiden Claiming | 7F Dirt
Top Play: (8) Natural Hunk – 20-1
Yes, 20-1. Dirt sprint longshots win these low-level maiden races more than you think. Seeker’s Hope (4) and Freedom Maker (6) offer the right mix of speed and balance.
Angle: Chaos race. Use in doubles and trifectas at small stakes.
Race 6 – $150,000 Stakes | 1 1/16M Outer Turf
Top Play: (6) Tideoftime – 9-2
Top turf jockey + strong finishing ability. Bella Knows (4) and Getting Serious (1) complete a logical trio.
Strategy: Turf stakes—expect a late closer to steal the show.
Race 7 – $80,000 Maiden Special Weight | 6½F Dirt
Top Play: (7) Margarita Molly – 4-1
Consistent works and tactical gate speed. Mathea (2) offers sneaky potential at 15-1, while Magic in My Eyes (9) is a must-use underneath.
Exacta/Trifecta: 7/2/9 box — value balance across price tiers.
Race 8 – $82,000 Allowance Optional Claiming | 1 1/16M Turf
Top Play: (9) Saratoga Snow – 15-1
Class dropper with a big chance if the pace heats up. Fast and Frisky (14) and Royal Bobbie (11) both live contenders.
Angle: Turf allowance = deep closing types thrive. Include Munny Grab (5) for coverage.
Race 9 – $45,000 Claiming | 1 1/16M Outer Turf
Top Play: (11) Widdershins – 30-1
Yes, that’s not a typo. Massive price with late kick. Inflammabelle (9) and Proud Mary (4) are worth using in multi-race plays.
Longshot Logic: Turf claimers late in the card = bombs away.
