Aqueduct horses to watch: Week of Dec. 28

Dave Litfin|Dec 26, 2013

PRUDENT INVESTOR
Trainer: Joe Orseno
Last race: Dec. 19, 5th
Finish: 4th by 2 1/4
Beyer: 73
Hopped up at the break to get away slowly, quickly moved into contention, pressing the pace set by the odds-on winner, and faded late in his first try going two turns on dirt; claimed out of that effort in a five-way shake.

ERIK THE RED
Trainer: Linda Rice
Last race: Dec. 22, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 8
Beyer: 84
Steadied after being sandwiched at the start, trailed early, and found his best stride late to get up for second behind Mean Season, who is now 2 for 2; lightly raced runner appears primed for a forward move after paired Beyer tops to begin current form cycle.

LOUISIANA FLYBOY
Trainer: Chad Brown
Last race: Dec. 22, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 71
Freshened for seven weeks after running in the Nashua Stakes as a second-time starter, he was compromised by slow early fractions and finished willingly with a wide rally into the stretch of a first-level allowance route.
