Race 4: Kosciuszko (#6)

Earned a competitive 109 TimeformUS Speed Figure in his return from the layoff two back.

Was somewhat compromised by a slow pace last time in a race wired up front.

Should work out a good trip stalking two need-the-lead types.

Weekend GamePlan for Nov. 9, 2019: Picks for Artie Schiller Stakes, Commonwealth Turf, Atlantic Beach Stakes

Bill Denver/Equi-Photo
Golden Brown could get first run on the deep closers in the Artie Schiller Stakes at Aqueduct.

Unless Sunshine Millions Preview Day is your cup of coffee and two aspirin, your Breeders’ Cup hangover likely will go uncured the Saturday following the big weekend at Santa Anita. But that’s all right: A little weekend-after discomfort never hurt anybody and there are competitive turf stakes at Aqueduct and Churchill to soothe the body and soul. Nasty Thursday weather at both venues was forecast to give way to Saturday sunshine, but this time of year the turf won’t dry, and one should plan for sodden autumn conditions.

Race 4: Somethingtotellyou (#5)

Was green and sluggish in the early stages of his debut, but was still running on across the wire.

Is bred to appreciate added ground as a son of a 9-furlong stakes winning dam.

DRF Formulator Fact: Over the past 5 years, Todd Pletcher is 38 for 124 (31%, $2.04 ROI) with second time starting maidens stretching out on dirt over the past 5 years.
