Check out my Thursday (2-12-26) Aqueduct Race 8 analysis below.
AQU 8 (Alw-77k/1x, NY-bred F&M, 9f dirt) – Post Time 4:13 PM ET
Primary – #1 OTHERPEOPLESMONEY
Secondary – #4 Full Pour, #6 Tower Twenty Two, #7 Pocket Queens
Horse Comments:
#1 Otherpeoplesmoney (5-2) matched the winning par for this in a stalking victory at this course and distance Jan. 4 (Str-Alw-50k). Rob Atras is a profitable 21% with his third off a layoff starters and her winning rider Manny Franco is 2-for-4 with this outfit.
#4 Full Pour (7-2) stalked from the inside post and won a local flat mile race NY-bred MSW event in the mud on Jan. 18 and that was her first start in 8+ months. This is her first attempt around two turns and her new rider Kendrick Carmouche is 23% in route races.
#6 Tower Twenty Two (7-2) won back-to-back races at Parx in November and December, and she rallied for the show in a similar local sprint on Feb. 5. The sharp, versatile filly stretches back out and is fast enough to compete with these.
#7 Pocket Queens (3-1) makes her first start since June 2025 and Miguel Clement is 23% with this type of layoff runner. She was part of the exacta in four of five local starts including a pair of flat mile wins last year.
