Big A cancels; It's Not for Love pays 11-1

Cancellation of the Big A card because of frozen temperatures warmed my heart with an opportunity to score on an historic monster mover at Gulfstream Park. I have caught It's Not for Love both times that she was a go. This was no different. The mare was coming off two moves and returning to her favorite 1 1/16 distance on the turf. She paid $23.6, 10, 5.8. A textbook mover.

Mover Living a Dream, $48, thanks to Luzzi

Don't know how solid jock Mike Luzzi fell out of favor with this punter. But, after his ride on 23-1 Living Out a Dream for Jennifer Pedersen in today's fifth race at Aqueduct, Luzzi is now on my favored list. It was undoubtedly his perseverance against three other contenders through the stretch that made 'Dream' a winner. A small across-the-board wager returned balloons, including exacta, and a daily double wheel into the sixth. Hindsight is 20/20 vision. Next time Luzzi rides a mover, I'll load up on the wager..
