Aqueduct Race 9

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $131,004

IRISH GOODBYE (8) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Showed ability last time and looks a coming winner. MAX MONEY (3) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1106m at Saratoga. Sure to make his presence felt. LORD KING (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BAKUTO (1) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely improver worth including.

Second-up. Comes off a 50-day let-up. First-up after 16 months ran last in a small field at this track on February 27 over 1308m, 18 len behind Kaz Oil Changer carrying 55.5kg at $2.46. Previously second-up 2nd of 12 at this track on November 23 2024 over 1308m, 0.3 len behind Sir Kartrite with 54kg at $3.25. Should progress from that first-up run.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at this track in LR on February 14 over 1408m, 25 len behind Arctic Beast with 54kg at $78.42. Last start second last of 9 at this track on March 14 over 1408m, 11 len behind Love Coin with 55.5kg at $50.03. Happy enough to avoid.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on March 22 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Guilty with 54.5kg at $4.68. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at this track on February 28 over 1207m, 11 len behind Illmatic carrying 55.5kg at $25.77. Nice effort last time so worth following up.
