:arrow: I was about to get a thrill when I saw Senor Enrico entered on grass, until I suddenly realized that I was confusing him with Mr. Enrico! :lol: Persaud also has an uncoupled entry in Ecru Egret (and both runners employ girl jocks) - never wins, but finishes itm a lot.....might want to use underneath.

Most of the money will be sent in on Tiger Willie; don't know what to make of Parisella's return, but Domingo is on board and the horse is owned by the trainers #1 client.

The one I like most is Nobody Like Mike - capable on dirt or turf. If DiPrima is about to take off on a brief streak, this might be the time to play him.

Badgett is the x-factor: Waywardwillie....two Willies in the same field calls for a hunch box.

Curious race - no telling how that tight grass course will play.

Just for laughs I'll be boxing the two WILLIES while I scratch mine.

Actually, the GP shipper TIGER WILLIE appears at first glance to be the horse to beat here, especially with Ramon staying late for the getaway race. This guy drops off a best fig in a long, long time.

:arrow: ex box....1-2-4-8.....tri key....4/1-2-8

I'll just take my chances with Channing and DiPrima and Nobody Like Mike. Among New York City residents, the more befitting name is Nobody Likes Mike. :lol:

The rail horse was Prado's only mount today, until he caught the substitution mount for Cohen in Race 7. J.V. also had only one mount today and won Race 2.

I honestly don't relish Tiger Willie for the win, but then, I've never cared for Parisella. Waywardwillie has a real shot, but until Victor Santiago comes out of his funk, I can't endorse strongly. That Badgett is one sneaky trainer, though.

Since there's no telling how the grass course will play, my key horses in each leg veer to inside posts.

Now I'm heading downstairs to conduct errands. Good luck to all.

The 3/5/7/9 allow the P6 to carry over again and as somebody who just got into town aboard a horse-drawn turnip wagon with just one shoe I am surprised. I figured the $hit prices and small fields would have everybody covered in this one.

The 1/2/8 bring in the DD in various amounts but I boxed my WILLIEs.

ExBx: 2/8

Zacta Flyer: 1-4/1-2-5-8

I don't see Ramon losing this one but I was always easy with the trigger finger when young and as an old fart zip to five stinks.

:arrow: back earlier than anticipated and have expanded to a 4-1-8 tri box + 2/4-1-8 tri key, because Ramon has heated up.

Tossed Ecru Egret into dime supers.....has recency.

The late $92.00 DD off a $4 winner is nice.

The other WILLIE gets the Williezacta split but I've been around too long to complain much.

One slight pissoff is the 1/5 going into the sewer in race 6. That bum killed a sweet P4 on a 1X1X2X2 pounce.

:arrow: Congrats again to QP - Aqueduct is suddenly being kind to you! :lol:

My Channing Hill experiment failed miserably, though Nobody Likes Mike opened as the favorite in the win pool.

Tiger Willie spoiled the willie box, but I didn't really trust him and I'm no fan of Parisella, though the broadcast team adores him.

Edgar Prado continues riding like an old man.

Maybe Victor Santiago has gotten his mojo back? I neglected to mention that his winner was also his lone mount today. Badgett has to be reckoned with.

Tomorrow is another day.......
