Might as well make it official...

Aqueduct - Race 4

#5 Half a Surprise (5/2 ml)

Been waiting on this horse to run back. We got robbed last time out @ odds of nearly 8/1, as this sister to Halfbridled was much the best at Gulfstream, but got buried in traffic and couldn't get out until it was way too late. Incredibly, she was still able to make it close after taking off like she had a rocket tied to her ass, missing by a fast-diminishing neck and then going clear immediately after the wire. Just a brutal, brutal beat. Unfortunately, the secret is out now, but fortunately one of the horses who beat her is in this race as well. So hopefully that one will pull some money. Worth mentioning that this filly had worked heads-up with Pletcher's rising star Affirmatif prior to that one's impressive debut win. Expecting a big effort here.
