John Velazquez returns - for how long, I don't know - but he's got to get re-acclimated to Aqueduct before riding Uncle Mo on Saturday. He's welcome to stay as long as he wants in my book.Don't know if J.V. can move American Classic up - Schosberg must first emerge from the cave he's been dwelling in, but has a shot. Luzzi looks to score a rail double aboard Bruce the Juice's Vicious Rapids; Keechi Bullet entices; finally, I Ain't No Saint threw in a good one at Parx...the Jake sends him out with Cohen aboard and you're getting a decent price. Rudy's Pewter has drifted upto 4-5 as I type.
That's it - five horses.
By the way, where's Ramon?
Rudy tanks and finishes last. Schosberg's runner ran forwardly, but gave way in deep stretch....trainer might be shedding the cobwebs, but even if he wins soon, don't expect much more than a brief streak, then back into the shadows - the trick is to capitalize on that short streak and know when to strike.
