Karlien (2nd highest rating) and Demarcation dead-heated in Saturday's feature. Favorite Thorn Song's wide journey left the $100,000 feature up for grabs.
Karlien went off at a little over 5-1 and Demarcation was 33-1. Due to the dead heat, both win prices were split in half.
Telling got up to complete the triples at 21-1.

Pedigree Angles To Watch: Sunday Nov 23 Aqueduct
Aqueduct Sunday Race 6 Maiden Special Weight 1 mile dirt
Treasure Trail(Pulpit) is out of Vertigineux, who produced Zenyatta. Yes, that Zenyatta. The 9-for-9 filly's younger sister is making her second career start at Aqueduct on Sunday.
In her first start, Treasure Trail was off a bit slowly and finished a decent fourth traveling 6 furs at Belmont. Trainer Shug McGaughey isn't known for his first time starters, so expect Treasure Trail to improve.
Along with the unbeatable Zenyatta, Vertigineux also produced the millionaire GI-winning filly Balance. Being Vertigineux knows a thing or two about dropping a nice filly, pay attention to Treasure Trail in the paddock and on the tote.

This is a cool race. Thorn Song will be the favorite. He shows up, very honest. Look at his form. He likes the lead, I would'nt say he needs it, but he'd rather be there. If he is going to get out in front, he's going to have to do from the outside 11 slot.
Try to find some value in this race. Although the highest rating, Thorn Song faces some obstacles.
Longshot Chance?
I spoke to Jonathan Sheppard this summer about Just As Well, and the master-trainer mentioned the 5-year-old was a half brother to an undefeated filly in Europe, by the name of Rainbow View. Rainbow View, now 4-for-4, may be the best 2-year-0ld of any sex in the WORLD. Yeah, world.
Even though he has a famous sister, Just As Well will have to improve to win Saturday.

(9.5) Indescribable ($15.40)
(9) Long Approach
(11) Kiss With A Twist
(11) Callwood Dancer
In a wide open race, Indescribable was worth a look with a 9.5 rating. Mott trying the turf with an underachieving horse is always something to circle. Indsecribable (T-3rd highest rating) blazed down the Churchill course to win coming from way off-the-pace.

Greetings from Florida! I figured to give Aqueduct players some attention since the weather in New York has been suspect, and it's just about THAT time at the Big A. Snow flurries have already taken the place of the falling leaves. Let's hope this one stays on the grass. There is some value to be had.

Submerge (Fusaichi Pegasus) graduated as a hand-ridden 2 1/2 lengths winner at Aqueduct.
South Fork Lodge (Runaway Groom) wore down rivals to live up to his classy bloodlines and graduated.
Million Seller (A.P Indy) looks like she may be a grinder, typical A.P Indy, and should continue to improve with added distance.
Class Firt (Pleasantly Perfect) bumped at the start and raced 5 wide. Better racing luck next time.

The two highest ratings belong to Callwood Dancer and Kiss With A Twist, with the rest of the field awfully close. Callwood Dancer ran a slow, yet noteworthy, second in the EP Taylor to Folk Opera. Kiss With A Twist comes off a win on the Poly at Keeneland. The daughter of Lemon Drop Kid seems to always be close.

South Fork Lodge is out of NetJet (zero winners from two starters), but NetJet is a 1/2 to G 1 Suburban Handicap winner Wekiva Springs ($1,512,575 career). The Runaway Groom colt will make his first career start.
Class Flirt is a gelded son of Pleasantly Perfect out of Flirtatious. If the dam sounds formiliar it is because she produced the recent track record-setting Wait A While. The aforementioned half-sister to Friday's first time starter has earned over $2 million in her brilliant (grass) career.

Keeneland November Sales
Many lucrative deals have taken place through the first few days of the Keeneland November sale. Far ranging products also. From a weanling from a recent horse of the year, to a week-old Breeders' Cup champion, to broodmare prospects.
A weanling filly by 2006 3-year-old Colt of the Year Bernardini sold for $1.475 million to Hill 'n' Dale. The family of the big seller goes way deeper than just her Darley homebred sire. The filly's dam, Teeming (Storm Cat) is a daughter of Better Than Honour.
Better Than Honour, sold for $14 million Nov 2. Better Than Honour is 2008's broodmare of the year, having produced Belmont Stakes winners Jazil (Seeking The Gold) and Rags To Riches (A.P Indy) along with 2008 Peter Pan winner Casino Drive (Mineshaft). Casino Drive would have been second choice to win this year's rendition of the Belmont but scratched.
Teeming has just one other offspring, a yearling by A.P Indy.
IEAH Stables picked up the brilliant filly Stardom Bound (Tapit) for $5.7 million apparently outbidding Frank Stronarch at the very end. Stardom Bound has never raced on traditional dirt, but her talent and appearance make that a non-factor. It is a topic of discussion because Rick Dutrow will be her knew trainer. Word is, Dutrow plans to bring her to Florida (no synthetics) before a 3-year-old campaign. Whether or not the goal is the Kentucky Oaks or the Derby, Stardom Bound is a top choice.
Notable Broodmare prospects that sold include; Lear's Princess, Panty Raid, Honey Ryder, Lady Joanne, and Hystericalady.

Breeders Cup in Review- Championship Saturday
MARATHON
JGP Selection: Church Service
Result: Winner, Muhannek. JGP's selection, Church Service($9.60 place) rallied late to finish second. Apparently 1 1/2 miles was not long enough for the son of Pulpit.
TURF SPRINT
JGP Selection: Diabolical
Result: Winner, Desert Code. JGP's selection, Diabolical ($7.60 place) gave 'The System' their second place in as many races. The 20.73 and 41.81 splits set up for the longshot ($75.00) winner's late run.
DIRT MILE
JGP Selection: Albertus Maximus
Results: Winner, Albertus Maximus($14.60). All right! After two seconds, JGP hit with the classy son of Albert The Great.
BC MILE
JGP Selection: Goldikova (BEST BET)
Results: Winner, Goldikova. When you specialize in turf handicapping, and your best bet is a turfer, on Breeders' Cup day, you better hit. This filly exposed the boys and was considered a steal while paying $5.60.
BC JUVENILE
JGP Selection: Midshipman
Results: Winner, Midshipman. JGP was in peak-form after the Juvenile, securing two straight doubles and a $108.00 pick three. The Unbridled's Song(producing stakes winners by the second) colt paid $9.20.
JUVENILE TURF
JGP Selection: Skipadate
Results: Winner, Donativum. Skipadate never got rolling. Perhaps the Saratoga to Woodbine to California route didnt suit the 2-year-old. Either way JGP got taken.
SPRINT
JGP Selection: Street Boss
Results: Winner, Midnight Lute. The winner was so good that it humbled everyone at 7.40. Baffert knows what he's doing but JGP threw that out the window. Can't miss Garrett Gomez, continues to roll. Street Boss finished third as the chalk.
TURF
JGP Selection: Soldier Of Fortune
Results: Winner, Conduit. You don't see JGP change expression all that much, but it was quite clear that the trip and ride of Soldier Of Fortune rubbed the handicapper wrong. The choice was up close to a hot 47 flat half mile in the 1 1/2 miles event. Conduit was nice and was JGP's second choice for trainer Sir Michael Stoute. Although, no prize for second without your first choice!
CLASSIC
JGP Selection: Henrythenavigator
Results: Winner, Raven's Pass. Henrthenavigator was flushed in the paddock and acting up in the holding barn. The 3-year-old still ran a big second at a nice price ($22.00 place). Remember, if horses are excelling at 1 mile in Europe, most will handle 1 1/4 miles in North America.
JGP Selection: Church Service
Result: Winner, Muhannek. JGP's selection, Church Service($9.60 place) rallied late to finish second. Apparently 1 1/2 miles was not long enough for the son of Pulpit.

JGP Selection: Goldikova (BEST BET)
Results: Winner, Goldikova. When you specialize in turf handicapping, and your best bet is a turfer, on Breeders' Cup day, you better hit. This filly exposed the boys and was considered a steal while paying $5.60.
BC JUVENILE
JGP Selection: Midshipman
Results: Winner, Midshipman. JGP was in peak-form after the Juvenile, securing two straight doubles and a $108.00 pick three. The Unbridled's Song(producing stakes winners by the second) colt paid $9.20.
JUVENILE TURF
JGP Selection: Skipadate
Results: Winner, Donativum. Skipadate never got rolling. Perhaps the Saratoga to Woodbine to California route didnt suit the 2-year-old. Either way JGP got taken.
SPRINT
JGP Selection: Street Boss
Results: Winner, Midnight Lute. The winner was so good that it humbled everyone at 7.40. Baffert knows what he's doing but JGP threw that out the window. Can't miss Garrett Gomez, continues to roll. Street Boss finished third as the chalk.
TURF
JGP Selection: Soldier Of Fortune
Results: Winner, Conduit. You don't see JGP change expression all that much, but it was quite clear that the trip and ride of Soldier Of Fortune rubbed the handicapper wrong. The choice was up close to a hot 47 flat half mile in the 1 1/2 miles event. Conduit was nice and was JGP's second choice for trainer Sir Michael Stoute. Although, no prize for second without your first choice!
CLASSIC
JGP Selection: Henrythenavigator
Results: Winner, Raven's Pass. Henrthenavigator was flushed in the paddock and acting up in the holding barn. The 3-year-old still ran a big second at a nice price ($22.00 place). Remember, if horses are excelling at 1 mile in Europe, most will handle 1 1/4 miles in North America.

It was a profitable Friday for those who backed JGP. JGP had the winner in three of the five filly Friday races. Stardom Bound, Forever Together and Zenyatta gave JGP the late pick three and late double.
JGP followers also would have pulled a straight triple in the Lady's Classic.
JGP had the eventual winner in his triple in five of the six races in Friday's Breeders' Cup.
