Steve Matthews / Mar. 12 at Aqueduct
Best Bet: APPIAN WAY (2); Best Value: McGEE'S MIRICLE (3)1
6 Furlongs. Claiming $7,500. 4&up. Purse: $18,000. (All races on inner dirt.) Post -- 1 p.m.1 Leap Day(L) 120 Cohen 3-1-4 Jacobson 2-1
2 Karakorum On Black(L) 118 Studart 7-8-5 Odintz 15-1
3 Wadi Suki(L) 113 Amaro 3-2-6 Persaud 3-1
4 Dealing Lucky(L) 120 Velasquez 1-4-6 Brown 9-5
5 Incredible Speed(L) 118 Rivera, Jr 6-7-7 Martin, Sr. 30-1
6 Kiln Creek(L) 111 Rodriguez 5-6-6 Barker 8-1
7 Half a Note(L) 118 Thompson 6-5-7 Maroun 12-1
Dealing Lucky tallied swift late pace figure when winning at this level in last; pairs up. Leap Day could prove very tough to catch as the main speed on the fence. Wadi Suki bested top selection by more than two lengths on Feb. 4; right in the thick of this.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. Maiden Special Weight. 3yo. NY Bred. Purse: $39,000.
1 Bigger Is Bettor(L) 121 Lezcano 7-8-10 Ubillo 30-1
2 Greeley's Law(L) 121 Lopez 3-5-2 DiSanto 10-1
3 Bold Deed(L) 121 Hill 2-x-x Hushion 3-5
4 Austerity Measures(L) 121 Davis 4-2-7 Quiles 30-1
5 Appian Way(L) 121 Castro 3-5-7 Weaver 5-1
6 Sam Hillic(L) 121 Santiago 6-x-x Hennig 12-1
7 Sound of Drums(L) 121 Da Silva 2-6-x Bond 4-1
Appian Way logged solid final fraction when pace and trip compromised in two-turn debut last time; more to come. Bold Deed was a clear-cut second in sprint debut and is bred to handle added ground. Sound Of Drums was a neck in front of top selection when second on Feb. 12; big-time player.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. Maiden Claiming $25,000. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $22,000.
1 Karakorum Budman(L) 123 Espinoza 5-4-6 Odintz 8-1
2 Gotta Go Round(L) 123 Cohen 3-2-4 Ubillo 8-5
3 Komisarek(L) 123 Valdivia, Jr 8-8-6 Sciacca 20-1
4 McGee's Miricle(L) 116 Rodriguez 4-3-6 Contessa 5-1
5 Mr. Hopps(L) 116 Luzzi 10-7-9 Violette, Jr 5-2
6 Skrzat's Majesty(L1) 116 Da Silva x-x-x Bond 6-1
7 Nykid Time to Jazz(L) 116 Studart 5-10-7 Shivmangal 10-1
McGee's Miricle tallied deceptively fast final fraction in first start in nearly a year last time and stretch to route should play to strength. Gotta Go Round is riding a forward line on pace and final figures and should be aided by return to route; could easily take this. Skrzat's Majesty is a newcomer that warrants respect if money shows.

6 Furlongs. Maiden Special Weight. 3&up. NY Bred. Purse: $38,000.
1 Sgt. Silky(L1) 116 Alvarado x-x-x Conway, Jr 8-1
2 Modern Child(L1) 116 Lopez x-x-x Imperio 5-2
3 Kincsem Noi 116 Rodriguez x-x-x Dutrow, Jr 7-2
4 Fast Grievance(L) 116 Castro 5-7-x Contessa 5-1
5 With a Cape(L) 116 Da Silva 4-4-5 Ubillo 2-1
6 Fivestar Karakorum(L) 123 Luzzi 3-5-11 Odintz 12-1
Fivestar Karakorum closed into hot final fraction when a tough-trip third in last; rates close call based on price potential. Fast Grievance improved with addition of blinkers last time and now makes first start since claimed by Contessa; developing and dangerous. Kincsem Noi makes first start for Rick Dutrow and is training with a purpose; stay tuned to the tote.

1 Call the General(L) 113 Rivera 10-7-11 Parker 50-1

6 Ashley's Mission(L) 120 Lezcano 5-9-10 Alvarez 30-1
7 Pavlov's Dog(L) 113 Rodriguez 2-6-9 Fisher 12-1
8 Appledore(L) 123 Velasquez 1-6-6 Brown 5-2
9 Tympanic(L) 120 Singh 4-8-7 DeMola 20-1
Sound Chaser packs a potent late punch and could get pace meltdown to set table. Quick Money owns speed and fast figures but consistently loses ground in the lane; handle with care with short ticket. Appledore was a determined winner in last and should have more to give in second start since nine-month absence; must consider.

7 Sumfun(L) 123 Chavez 6-5-8 DiPrima 8-1
8 Mr. Vantastic(L) 123 Lopez 4-8-6 Lostritto 10-1
Sumfun displayed newfound stretch kick in last and should offer generous odds in wide-open dash. King Bo Bo failed to get the job done when second at 65 cents on the dollar last time; short price once again. Marina Market was a hard fought second versus a pricier field last out; big-time player.

14 Talk to Nick(L) 118 Alvarado 7-5-5 Contessa 15-1
1a Studley(L) 118 Castro 2-8-4 Chatterpaul 12-1
Green Bananas gets class relief and owns a powerful closing wallop on best efforts; sitting on bounce-back effort. Barnie's Bullet was fast-paced and final-figured winner in last and looms prohibitive price; if chalk is your game. Intrepid overcame tough post to win inner-track debut last time; odds will be tempting.

1 Mile & 70 Yards. Allowance. 4&up. Fillies and Mares. NY Bred. Purse: $41,000.
1 Amply Rewarded(L) 118 Chavez 2-2-1 Galluscio 5-1
2 Katy's Office Girl(L) 118 Velasquez 4-6-1 Rice 7-2
3 Moshe Diane(L) 118 Santiago 4-6-4 Donk 4-1

9 Sky Fever(L) 118 Lezcano 7-7-5 Ortiz 30-1
10 No Imagination(L) 113 Pedroza 2-1-3 DeRosa 8-1
Amply Rewarded is riding an improving line on the numbers and starts from the fence for first two-turn start. Moshe Diane made wide, premature move in last and has ample room for continued development; dangerous. Kaffiend's speed must be respected. Northern Warrior was game second in last; logical contender.

1 Mile & 1 Furlong. The KINGS POINT. 3&up. NY Bred Stakes. Purse: $65,000.
1 Mine Over Matter(L) 124 Velasquez 3-3-6 Hernandez 5-1

5 Spa City Fever(L) 118 Chavez 3-2-5 Kelly 8-1
6 Inherit the Gold(L) 124 Castro 1-1-1 Hooper 9-5
Mine Over Matter is rested and compiled eye-catching work slate for first start since New Year's Eve; rail draw seals the deal. Stud Muffin made sustained rally to win last and owns three victories at today's 9-furlong distance. Inherit The Gold logged very fast figures when winning last two starts; bounces today?

9 Vision of Magic(L) 116 Rodriguez 2-2-3 Callejas 5-2
10 Digital Joe(L) 123 Alvarado 3-2-4 Contessa 3-1
Vision Of Magic tallied career-best late pace figure when second by a pole last time; more to come in second start since Thanksgiving. Bill Senior is fleet-footed and adds blinkers and could prove tough to collar on clear lead. Digital Joe holds sharp form and owns fast figures on best; dangerous. Loyal Leader is lightly raced and improving; must consider.
