Value Plus to Try Luck at Aqueduct

After chasing Eurosilver, one of the best 2-year-old males in the country, in the Lanes End Futurity on Oct. 4 at Keeneland, Value Plus will try today’s $100,000 Nashua at Aqueduct.

Dropping into a Grade III, the gray son of Unbridled’s Song has had two solid works at Belmont.

Ten others entered the Nashua, including Read The Footnotes, Good Reward and English shipper Motives.

Race of the day: There is no stakes at Santa Anita today because the $75,000 Hidden Light didn’t draw enough entrants; no races at Santa Anita really drew enough entrants. Only 63 entered the nine races, so local bettors will be turning their attention to Kentucky and New York.

One for the road: The Morris Monroe ran as if he might have been a short horse when sixth in his first start in about 17 months. The 7-year-old gelding should be tighter in the fifth at Bay Meadows, a $12,500 claimer at five furlongs on the turf. It is the second leg of a closing-day pick six with a mandatory payout.

Exotically speaking: A place pick all using Four Corners and Out of Mind in the first, Sea Jewel in the second, Extreme Machine in the third, Cozy Guy and Pin Jig in the fourth, Paster’s Dutchess and Speed to Speed in the fifth, King Augustus and Courageous Act in the sixth, Montbretia in the seventh, La Sorpresa in the eighth and Windscore and Decisional in the ninth.

Winners: Previous day/meet total: 1/71. Money: Previous day/meet total: $7.40/$381.80. Total money bet: $452.
