Aqueduct Picks from Sunday

Aqueduct

January 10, 2021

We recommend playing exacta boxes in each race. They have consistently been our best return on investment and it’s how we count our winners!

In races with 3 selections the total cost will be $6 for a $1 bet
In races with 4 selections the total cost will be $12 for a $1 bet

If you have any questions just let us know- support@battagliaspicks.com

The Aqueduct Picks Win Candidates in each race are in order from our top pick to our fourth (or third). However, we root for the two biggest prices to run 1^st and 2^nd as it helps our payoffs in our exacta boxes. It does not matter to us if it’s our top pick or fourth!
