Litfin: Aqueduct pick four for Sunday, April 3
The early pick four at Aqueduct on Sunday looks like a manageable sequence, so we’ll take a small, stay-out-of-trouble play to close out the first week on the main track.
Race 2 – Longfor the City (5) comes off a throw-out trip against tougher and won big at this level three races back. Pretension (1) and Beautyinthepulpit (7) needed the camera to separate them in a spot like this three weeks ago.
A – 5
B – 1, 7
Race 3 – Heading into the weekend, Seymourdini (3) is the only horse who has given four-time Grade 2 winner Mohaymen a run for his money. It’s All Relevant (1) ran into Gotham winner Shagaf here last fall, about an hour after Seymourdini won by the length of the stretch; move him up if the track is wet.
A – 3
B – 1
Race 4 – Spreading a bit in this inflated $20,000 claimer, keying on returning dropper Familyofroses (7) and also using Stolen Victory (1), Cow Catcher (5), and Darnley Bay (6), provided the latter is withheld from a starter stakes race Saturday.
A – 7
B – 1, 5, 6
Race 5 – Integrity (3) should appreciate the cutback, as six of his seven wins have been in one-turn races. Narvaez (2), Pratereo (4), and All Star Red (6) are the logical backups.
A – 3
B – 2, 4, 6
