2YO Stakes Kick Off Aqueduct's Fall Meet Wednesday

[TJ]

Ahh,the beauty of horse racing. No matter how many great horses come and go, there's little time to lament. There's always exciting 2YO's on the horizon to get you thinking forward to yet another Kentucky Derby:>) This year is no exception, especially when you consider the brilliance 2YO filly Songbird has displayed. She may pick up where Rachel Alexandra left off, picking on the boys in her division. She has far exceeded anything any of the boys have shown us to date. So keep an eye on how this plays out and get ready for a pair of 2YO stakes on Aqueducts opening day card, Wednesday contested over the main track. I do want to see if Sail Ahoy can improve over the expected fast track Wednesday? Entries and PP's below. TJ

The Tempted:
Welcoming...Clement and RS Evans, looks like a good one.
Banree...Regrouped at Keeneland after disappointing in the Spinaway, could take this?
Big World

The Nashua:
Sail Ahoy....can't forget his game maiden win, expect he might return to form over a fast track?
Mohaymen...interesting McLaughlin piece, could be a good one.
River Dell
Sunny Ridge

[Cree]

I am with you on both Sail Ahoy, can't ignore his Maiden win and that pedigree.
I am also quite interested in the Clement filly.

Hi Cree,
If Sail Ahoy doesn't run his race today, I think Shug might try him on the grass in Florida....no doubt he's bred for it:>)
Clement's filly is by Tapit and owned by the same man that owns Tonalist (also by Tapit). Could be a good one? TJ

Here's the finish of the Tempted....Welcomed didn't hit the board, finishing next to last at 4/5?
Big World
Flora Dora
Banree
Disco Rose

8th race Sunny Ridge scratched....will put Flexibility in his spot. TJ

Here's the finish of the Nashua:
Mohaymen...a comfortable winner
Flexibility...held the place by a 1/2
Ships Ahoy...looked much better over a fast track, was far back and finished well. I see him winning the Remsen at 1 1/8th miles.
River Dell...was 4th
