Full Field Analysis (8 Horses)
All horses, posts, weights, and morning‑line odds are sourced from BloodHorse.
Below is a horse‑by‑horse breakdown including pedigree, connections, and performance profile.
PP #1 — Takethemoneyhoney (7/2)
Age/Sex: 5‑year‑old mare
Pedigree: Golden Lad – Goodonehoney
Jockey: Eliseo Ruiz
Trainer: Michael M. Moore
Weight: 122 lbs
Analysis:
A Maryland‑bred stakes winner with proven grit. Her pedigree leans toward stamina and late kick, making her dangerous if the pace collapses. Moore’s runners often show consistency, and the rail draw gives her a ground‑saving trip. A major contender if she fires her best.
PP #2 — Boutwell Time (20/1)
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old filly
Pedigree: Not This Time – Del Mar May
Jockey: Christopher Elliott
Trainer: Juan Carlos Guerrero
Weight: 122 lbs
Analysis:
A longshot with limited graded‑stakes experience. Not This Time offspring can show big improvement at four, but she will need a career‑best effort. Likely an underneath exotic candidate.
PP #3 — Jody’s Pride (4/1)
Age/Sex: 5‑year‑old mare
Pedigree: American Pharoah – Jody’s Song
Jockey: Paco Lopez
Trainer: Jorge R. Abreu
Weight: 124 lbs
Analysis:
A classy mare with tactical speed and a strong finishing punch. American Pharoah progeny excel at one‑turn distances. Lopez is an aggressive rider who fits her forward‑placing style. A top‑tier win threat.
PP #4 — Lucille Ball (12/1)
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old filly
Pedigree: Lord Nelson – Sassy Redhead
Jockey: Ricardo Santana Jr.
Trainer: Chris J. Englehart
Weight: 120 lbs
Analysis:
A mid‑price filly with improving speed figures. Santana is excellent on NYRA circuits and may try to secure a stalking position. Needs a step forward to win but is not without upset potential.
PP #5 — With the Angels (3/1)
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old filly
Pedigree: Omaha Beach – Sister Margaret
Jockey: Jose Lezcano
Trainer: Linda Rice
Weight: 122 lbs
Analysis:
The second choice on the morning line. Omaha Beach progeny are excelling at 7 furlongs nationwide. Rice is lethal with NYRA sprinters, and Lezcano is a perfect fit for her tactical style. A major win candidate.
PP #6 — Hold Your Breath (9/2)
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old filly
Pedigree: McKinzie – Illicit Affair
Jockey: Kendrick Carmouche
Trainer: John C. Servis
Weight: 122 lbs
Analysis:
A lightly raced filly with upside. McKinzie’s first crops have shown strong sprint ability. Carmouche is one of the best pace‑judging riders at Aqueduct. A live mid‑price contender.
PP #7 — Immersive (7/5, Morning‑Line Favorite)
Age/Sex: 4‑year‑old filly
Pedigree: Nyquist – Gap Year
Jockey: Manuel Franco
Trainer: Brad Cox
Weight: 120 lbs
Analysis:
The clear favorite and the class of the field. Cox ships her in with intent, and Franco is riding at peak form. Nyquist progeny are versatile and powerful at one‑turn distances. Immersive projects to sit just off the pace and unleash a strong stretch run. The horse to beat.
PP #8 — Grammy Girl (6/1)
Age/Sex: 5‑year‑old mare
Pedigree: Mastery – Song Girl
Jockey: Javier Castellano
Trainer: Saffie Joseph Jr.
Weight: 122 lbs
Analysis:
A consistent mare with strong late pace figures. Castellano’s patient style suits her perfectly. She will need a fast pace to set up her closing kick. A dangerous outsider.
