Both guests bring valuable insight and experience that you will not want to miss. All shows will be available on Sports Talk Media Network and multiple streaming platforms and social channels.
Aqueduct Late P5 Recap (4/25/26)
Last Saturday’s card at Aqueduct Racetrack was heavily impacted by rain, resulting in a sloppy main track and multiple races being taken off the turf. Here is how our selections performed:
Race 6
This race stayed on dirt and was run over a sloppy surface. Our top selection, #3 Lonesome Road, scratched. #5 Contrary Thinking remained and finished in 3rd place.
Race 7
This race stayed on turf, but the yielding conditions played a factor. Top selection #8 Burhan finished 4th, while value play #10 Fluid Situation did not fire.
Race 8
Taken off the turf, both our top pick #8 Just for Luck and second choice #2 Willpowered scratched.
Race 9
Run on a sloppy track, #6 Sheriff Bianco struggled with the conditions. However, our second choice #9 Unbroken Chain handled the surface well and delivered a win, paying $10.60.
Race 10
Another race moved off turf. Top pick #6 Bashful Baby failed to handle the off track, and #1 Mo Complex scratched. Notably, also-eligible entries—likely entered anticipating these conditions—finished 1st and 2nd, an angle worth tracking going forward.
Final Thoughts and What’s Next
