I wanted to share this feature from Andy Serling and Eric Donovan in New York. If you like to play the New York race scene then you need to catch his show called, Trips and Traps. It's on You Tube and I will make an effort to upload them as they become available. This one is dated, February 24th, enjoy the show:

Play of the Day: 7th @Aqueduct
Our selection at Will Rogers Downs went off at too low of a price to even consider playing him. Looking at the results, you could have put $2 to win/place on all of them and had a huge score. Today, we go back to Aqueduct, to play the 7th race, it is an Optional Claiming event for $75K/N1X going a mile and 70 yards over the inner track, for 3YO's. It's a good field, and another wide open affair. I like two entries and price will dictate the direction I go.
#4 Street Life ML 6/1
He shipped in from GP and won at first asking here at Aqueduct going this distance. Big improvement to his Beyer's (70), and looks ready to move through his conditions. In his last outing, it wasn't an easy trip, Alvarado had to guide him through traffic and he galloped away. The other big plus is Chad Brown, he is having a solid meet so far, and his record with returning winners is superior, 29%! If we can get a square price (meaning better than 4/1), he is the play.
If the #4 is not playable, the I would go with #6 A Boy Named Em ML 8/1. He is shipping in after a couple tepid efforts at GP. It looks like this angle of shipping in from GP is working at Aqueduct. You'll notice there are a couple other entrants that have shipped an won here. There are several angles to play with him: first blinkers on (equipment change), jockey switch to Castro, consistent speed and should see an improvement on the inner track. His last outing outing was a troubled trip by being squeezed at the start. Lastly, Kenneally is having a good meet too, especially with horses coming off a layoff (25% win rate).
I like both of these, and will let the tote board dictate the play.
