Aqueduct Race 1 - Race 1 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SCHOOLYARDSUPERMAN (4) Ran 4th last time at the track. Expected to rebound but challenged by a tougher grade. Jockey Manuel Franco and trainer Chad C Brown make an imposing pair. Sure to be thereabouts. HEDGE RATIO (5) Closed off nicely when 4th last time at this venue but taking on stronger competition. Flavien Prat rates highly. Will be motoring home late. Rates a winning chance. GALLANT ONE (2) Won easily by 5 1/2L last start at this venue and was a debutant last start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Racing for a new trainer. Include in chances. BLUE FORTY TWO (3) Rattled home nicely into 3rd last run at the track and facing a rise in trip. Christopher Elliott and Rachel Sells have a good working relationship. Not hopeless.

Started at $14.00 and lost ground in the run home when 5th last time at Gulfstream Park. Should improve from the last run and will appreciate a good gate. Will need to find a few more lengths.

Shot clear to win by a margin of 5 1/2L last start at the track and having second career run. Change in trainer and has a good draw. Price in this race is tempting to get involved.

Ran on strongly when 3rd last run at this venue and stepping up in trip. Jockey Christopher Elliott is in form for this stable. Testing ability against stronger contenders. A long shot.

Odds of $3.20 and came in 4th last time at this track. Expected to rebound but racing in stronger company. Manuel Franco and Chad C Brown work well together. Strong chance.
