TimeformUS Aqueduct Horses in Focus for Friday, April 5, 2019

Race 1: Spectator Sport (#4)

Trainer Rob Atras has enjoyed a productive winter at Aqueduct during which he has routinely improved the horses in his care.

Horses have run back out of that Feb. 17 maiden event to significantly improve their TimeformUS Speed Figures in subsequent starts.

The Pace Projector is predicting a situation favoring runners on or near the lead and he should be forwardly placed.

Race 5: She’s Trouble (#1)

Was hindered by a wide trip behind a slow pace that favored the eventual winner in the Joseph A. Gimma.

Never had a fair chance to close over a speed-favoring surface two back in the Seeking the Ante.

Linda Rice has solid statistics with dirt sprinters returning from layoffs of this type.

Race 8: Dawn the Destroyer (#9)

Runs her best races when she is able to make outside runs, so this wide post position draw should be an advantage.

Was always stuck down on the rail when attempting to rally from off the pace in the Barbara Fritchie.

Easily defeated likely favorite Kathryn the Wise back in November.
