OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The 3-year-old filly Bank On Anna beat older New York-bred females when she captured the Union Avenue Stakes eight weeks ago at Saratoga. Thursday, she will take on older rivals again in an open second-level/optional $62,500 claiming race that serves as the feature on a nine-race card at Aqueduct. Beginning Thursday, first post will be 12:35 p.m. Thursday’s card includes a pick six carryover of $71,284 after the wager was not hit Sunday. Bank On Anna, a daughter of Central Banker, is one of four New York-breds entered in this seven-horse field. Bank On Anna finished fifth in an open-company first-level allowance on July 23 at Saratoga but had some excuses that day. Bank On Anna had the rail and she stood in the gate additional time as Union Lake, the ultimate winner, was backed out and underwent a saddle adjustment. Unsurprisingly, “she broke kind of flat-footed,” trainer Phil Serpe said. Jose Lezcano, aboard Bank On Anna that day, tried to advance into contention along the rail down the backstretch but Jose Gomez, on Awesome Indra, cut in front of her forcing Lezcano to check. “He grabbed her and that was the end of it,” said Serpe, whose filly was beaten six lengths. :: DRF has you covered for the Belmont at the Big A meet!

While Bank On Anna came back to win the Union Avenue, Repealing, third in the July 23 allowance, came back to clear the first-level allowance with an 87 Beyer in her next start at Saratoga. Serpe, who has Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard Thursday, is hoping to use this race as a prep for the $150,000 Iroquois Stakes for New York-bred female sprinters here Oct. 30. Fellow New York-bred Mosienko goes for her fourth consecutive win in this spot for trainer Dennis Lalman. Mosienko will be coming back on just two weeks’ rest after winning a first-level allowance here by four lengths off three weeks’ rest. Patty H, claimed for $80,000 by Timothy O’Toole and trainer Tony Dutrow last October, makes just her second start since then in this spot. Dutrow ran her in a second-level allowance/optional claimer in January where Patty H finished fourth after stumbling badly at the start. A few weeks later, Patty H developed an abscess in her right hind leg and was given time off. Dutrow has gotten a series of steady works in the 4-year-old daughter of Flatter. “I couldn’t have wanted a horse to train any better going into a race,” Dutrow said. Customerexperience, the only member of this field in for the $62,500 tag, Honey Money, Secret Love, and Move Moxy complete the field. Three serving HISA suspensions Jockeys Jose Ortiz, Manny Franco, and Jose Lezcano will all be serving one-day suspensions on Thursday for violation of HISA rules regarding the use of the whip. The jockeys also were fined $250. All three riders were cited for using their whip seven times – one more than permitted – in certain races. Ortiz was cited for his ride on Destin Hoofman, who finished fourth, beaten a half-length, in the fourth race on Sept. 22 at Aqueduct; Franco on Sunset Louise, second, beaten 1 1/4 lengths, in the fifth race on Sept. 24 at Aqueduct; Lezcano on Confronted, who finished second, beaten a head, in the sixth race on Sept. 25. :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match and FREE Formulator PPs!

Jockey Kendrick Carmouche has appealed a HISA-issued penalty of a three-day suspension and a $500 fine for hitting his mount Cousteau 10 times in a $14,000 claiming race at Saratoga that the horse won by a nose. Under HISA rules, because the amount of whip strikes was four above the permitted number, the purse of that race is to be redistributed. Cousteau, trained by Rob Atras for Robert Derr, earned $17,600. According to Jimmy Riccio Jr., Carmouche used the whip because the horse was lugging in badly down the stretch and he didn’t want to bump into another horse. Pletcher adds to BC lineup Trainer Todd Pletcher added to his Breeders’ Cup roster on Sunday with victories by Chocolate Gelato and Major Dude in a pair of Win and You’re In qualifiers for the Juvenile Fillies and Juvenile Turf, respectively. Chocolate Gelato, a daughter of Practical Joke, splashed her way to a one-length victory over You’re My Girl in Sunday’s Grade 1 Frizette. Chocolate Gelato came from further off the pace than Pletcher expected her to, but the manner in which she won gave him confidence she’ll handle the two-turn configuration of the Juvenile Fillies. “I liked the way she turned off, gives you the impression two turns is going to be within her range,” Pletcher said. Chocolate Gelato earned an 83 Beyer Speed Figure for the performance. In the Grade 2, $200,000 Pilgrim Stakes, Major Dude made his turf debut a winning one, turning back a challenge from I’m Very Busy to win by one length. The victory earned the Spendthrift Farm-owned son of Bolt d’Oro a fees-paid berth into the Juvenile Turf. Pletcher tried Major Dude on the turf in part due to recent success progeny of Bolt d’Oro have had on that surface as well as two satisfactory workouts on turf. Major Dude earned a 76 Beyer Speed Figure. Chocolate Gelato and Major Dude add to a Breeders’ Cup roster that could include four for the Classic (Life Is Good, Happy Saver, Americanrevolution, and possibly Dynamic One), two for the Distaff (Nest and Malathaat), Mind Control (Dirt Mile), Annapolis (Mile), and potentially Forte and Lost Ark for the Juvenile. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
