We can’t cover ’em all. Some are contracted to the paying customers who’ve scaled the formidable paywall. But here’s the best of the rest.<\/p>\n
As usual in the headliners at Aqueduct<\/strong>, there’s a standout: #1 Quiet Giant<\/strong> seems prohibitive in the ninth<\/strong>, the Ladies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Fair Grounds is one of the places you’ll want to hang out at all day long, and not just for the La. Derby. <\/p>\n For example, Race 6<\/strong> is the Grade II New Orleans<\/strong>, and it should be wide-open. We’ll go against the morning-line fave with the sensible trio of #3 Mission Impazible<\/strong>, #4 Birdrun<\/strong>, #7 Apart<\/strong>. No big balloons, but a chance to chuck the chalk nonetheless.<\/p>\n In the Derby itself, Race 10, everybody’s hot selection should do OK, but give at least an exotics longshot look toward #1 Nacho Business<\/strong> and #8 Le Mans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tampa 9 is the New Port Richey Elks (not to be confused with the Zephyrhills Rotary). In it, contention abounds, so we go with #9 Pink Pallet<\/strong>, #4 Classy Zip<\/strong> and #5 Broadway Marquee<\/strong>. Bombs away!<\/p>\n The Spiral Staircase is the 10th at Turfway, and that one’s restricted to the loyal subscribers. Regrets!<\/p>\n However, we do offer this Extra for Experts in the form of bonus coverage from lovely Fonner Park<\/strong> in beautiful downtown Grand Island, Neb. It looks like a frontrunning romp in the ninth<\/strong>, the Ogataul<\/strong>, for odds-on #6 Reach One More. In the 10th, the Orphan Kist<\/strong>, mild longshot appeal comes from #8 Spice Swirl<\/strong>. <\/p>\n Exhale!<\/p>\n As always, best wishes for a prosperous Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a little creativity, ingenuity and imagination, you can actually put together your own outside-the-box Breeders’ Cup-style card today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-stakes"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pavW5M-da","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":819,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816\/revisions\/819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cynthiapublishing.com\/hp_wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
