Aqueduct horses to watch: Week of Jan. 25

IRSAAL
Trainer: Kiaran McLaughlin
Last race: Jan. 20, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 6 1/2
Beyer: 84
Making his first start in 53 days, this 4-year-old gelding raced three wide around the first turn and four wide around the second turn, finishing evenly behind the razor-sharp Dawly and Sliver and Onions, who set a strong pace. This was his first start on a fast track since the 2012 Remsen.

PITCHED
Trainer: Leah Gyarmati
Last race: Jan. 16, 6th
Finish: 4th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 44
This debuting 3-year-old filly trailed by double-digit lengths to the stretch call and found her best stride belatedly along the rail. She is a half-sister to dual sprint stakes winner Double Espresso.

BOSSY BOOTS
Trainer: Richard Schosberg
Last race: Jan. 18, 6th
Finish: 6th by 7
Beyer: 31
After stumbling at the start and falling 14 lengths behind by the prestretch call, this first-time starter halved that gap while finishing with some interest. She was a $165,000 purchase as a 2-year-old last April.

CHARLEYMILLIONAIRE
Trainer: Gregory Sacco
Last race: Jan. 20, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 1/2
Beyer: 80
Coming off an eight-week break, this sophomore sprinter made his seasonal debut in the Jimmy Winkfield Stakes and, after being bumped at the start and trailing early, finished fastest of all, despite losing a shoe during the race.
