A fast main track and a good turf course for Aqueduct on Friday. There is a threat of rain in the late afternoon, leaving NYRA to adjust post times, speeding things up a bit.  The weather forecast worsens this evening.

A few jockey changes: 1st race Manny Franco rides Champagne Bliss; 2nd race Dylan Davis rides Periodical; and in the 4th race Joel Rosario rides Bella Via Mi Amor.
