Rich Perloff’s Best Bets from Aqueduct & Gulfstream Park for Sunday, Dec. 19 (Races: 5 & 9)

“The price will be right.”

Last time out Rich’s Best Bet had Blinkers on for the first time and showed great speed early and ultimately faded late. However, this was also the first time his selection ran on the grass, as well as her first time going two turns.

Today, Rich’s Best Bet goes back to the Main Track and will also be going one turn. Rich feels this will be a great test to see the actual impact of the added Blinkers, and the potential payoff is worth the wager in the 5th from Aqueduct.

“This horse is impeccably bred.”

Despite only having one start this year, Rich still feels his Best Bet has a pedigree that automatically makes him a contender. Furthermore, he believes the expected fast pace of the race will be to the advantage of his selection in the 9th race from Gulfstream Park.
