Beer: Aqueduct horses to watch for week of Jan. 20, 2020

WICKED TRICK

Trainer: Linda Rice

Last race: Jan. 20, 7th

Finish: 1st by 9 1/4

Beyer: 102

Five-year-old gelding was going nowhere on turf until last summer but he has suddenly found himself since switching to dirt, where he had now won six straight while improving his figures each time. Triple-digit Beyer earned for this win suggests that he may get a shot in stakes company next. 

 

SAGUARO ROW

Trainer: Michael Stidham

Last race: Jan. 20, 8th

Finish: 1st by 2 3/4

Beyer: 87

Her victory as the favorite in the Interborough was her fourth since returning from a long layoff early in 2019, and her second stakes win, surrounding a second in the Grade 3 Go for Wand. She is effective around one turn between six and eight furlongs and will likely get another chance vs. graded stakes rivals next.
