Aqueduct
Aqueduct horses to watch: Week of Feb. 22
CANDY PORTENA
Trainer: Juan Ortiz
Last race: Feb. 17, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 8 3/4
Beyer: 60
Although never a serious threat to runaway debut winner Killaday, she finished willingly to nip the odds-on favorite for the runner-up spot and recorded her best Beyer Speed Figure to date in a maiden special weight sprint over a wet track.
POLIZIANO
Trainer: Osvaldo Rojas
Last race: Feb. 17, 3rd
Finish: 4th by 9
Beyer: 74
Compromised by a lack of pace in a starter-allowance sprint as Ground Force shook loose on an easy lead through dawdling fractions, yet this steady-going gelding still put up his fifth consecutive Beyer in the 70s at the winter meet.
