It's Saturday at the Track and we've got a full day of racing ahead of us with cards at Santa Anita, Aqueduct and Keeneland. Aqueduct and Keeneland start just 15 minutes apart, so we're comin' in hot today with our world-famous Two-Fer post for both tracks. We're all about efficiency here, so why not give you both rundowns on one post? Sounds like a great idea to us!
As usual, we'll give you a quick look at each track and then our Lundin Line top picks and best bets will follow that. So let's get right to it!
Today's card at Aqueduct has 11 races, tons of runners and features four Stakes:
Aqueduct Stakes Schedule:
R3: $250K Gazelle (GIII)
R6: $200K Bay Shore (GIII)
R8: $300K Carter Handicap (GI)
R11: $750K Wood Memorial (GII / Kentucky Derby Prep)
You're not gonna want to miss the Wood Memorial Stakes as it is a Kentucky Derby Prep race with Derby points on the line; 100-40-30-20-10 points awarded to the top five finishers respectively. We're gettin' down to the wire, so every point counts! Running conditions are looking great with firm turf, a fast track and temperatures right around 50 with partly coudy skies. First post is at 9:15 AM Pacific.
Starting just 15 minutes later are the thoroughbreds at Keeneland. The Spring Meet kicked off yesterday and we've got a lot of action ahead of us in the coming weeks. But looking at today, we're in for 11 races, a very strong field and features five Stakes:
Keeneland Stakes Schedule:
R5: $300K Commonwealth (GIII)
R6: $400K Appalachian (GIII)
R7: $600K Madison (GI)
R8: $350K Shakertown (GII)
R9: $1 Million Toyota Blue Grass (GI / Kentucky Derby Prep)
The Toyota Blue Grass Stakes is also a Kentucky Derby Prep Race, so make sure you get in on that action later today. Derby points will be awarded to the top five finishers as well; 100-40-30-20-10 respectively. Like Aqueduct, we're in for great running conditions with firm turf, a fast track and temperatures in the upper 50's with partly cloudy skies. First post is at 9:30 AM Pacific.
