From the “Ayers Above MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 12
Race 1: 4- Stormont Wizard – Has been plagued with some tough posts, but has been improving with the addition of Lasix; could get some big value.
3- Crosbys Clam Bake – Could be tough against easier company, likes to hit the board; don’t leave off. 8- Trustworthy Kid – Could be a factor with a
clean effort. 2- Wegoferdaprize – Faces a class that he is much more comfortable with.

Race 2: 5- Prairie Jaguar – Moved up last week and got a tough trip from post eight where he made a clean sweeping effort, look for better from here.
1- Turbo Mach– Has a good amount of early speed and could be tough against these. 4- Higgins – Looking for a little bit of improvement this week, if
he repeats last week he could provide value underneath. 2- Strother – Another that could add value this week, but he need to be close to the pace.

Race 3: 7- Classicality – Has won three straight races and could add to that win total this week. 6- Wind Of The North – Raced very big from post
eight last out, expect more of the same. 5- Lady’s Dude – Likes the surface at Northfield Park and should get a clean trip.

Race 4: 7- Southwind Amazon – Has made Northfield Park a playground as of late and could possibly be a single. 1- Royaltyhasarrived – Another
with a big shot in here, provided some major value against these last week, rail is a big improvement. 6- Dapper Dude– Could make the ticket despite
starting from the outside. 4- Control Tower – Has as good of a shot as any in here to complete the Superfecta.

Race 5: 1- Rose Run Oscar – Scores the rail tonight and gets a big driver change; Stahl has...

Harlan Punch authoritative in Stymie
Divine Miss Grey wires her competition in Heavenly Prize

Making his second start in less than a week, Harlan Punch received a perfect trip for owner and trainer David Jacobson under the services of leading winter meet rider Dylan Davis, besting a field of seven to win the $150,000 Stymie on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Breaking alertly from post 2, Harlan Punch comfortably stalked in second position as Hit It Once More set fractions of 23.79 seconds for the opening quarter-mile, with the half in 47.52.

Harlan Punch made his winning move at the quarter-pole, moving three wide to overtake Hit It Once More and was set down in full gear at the top of the stretch. He extended away to comfortably secure the victory by seven lengths.

He completed the one-mile distance in a final time of 1:38.03.

“I just played off the break,” said Davis. “I saw Rafael [Hernandez] was very aggressive with Hit It Once More [No. 4], so I just let him do his own thing. Once I come to the outside, he just got into his own stride and he took it all for himself.”

Sent off as the 9-5 post-time favorite, the son of Harlan’s Holiday returned $5.90 for a $2 win wager. He earned his third consecutive victory, following a pair of allowance optional claiming wins on February 15 and March 4, respectively. The 5-year-old increased his career earnings to $571,993.

“I didn’t discuss [the race] with Dylan,” said Jacobson. “I left him no instructions, I told him to use your gut, and figure it out, and the way he’s riding right now, who’s going to tell him what to do? Definitely not me.”

Backsideofthemoon closed strongly to finish second followed by Hit It Once More, Watershed, Fellowship, Vulcan’s Forge and Securitiz.

One race later, Corms Racing Stable’s Divine Miss Grey picked up her third straight...
