Best Horse Racing Bets for Thursday, January 21, 2021

I found underdogs and long-odds moneymakers galore at all three of the tracks I reviewed for Thursday: Aqueduct Race Track, Fair Ground Race Course, and Gulfstream Park.
I even discovered some mid-range sleepers in a few of the races, and who doesn’t like a relatively sure thing at 8/1 odds?
In any case, read on for the summary of my horse racing picks for Thursday, January 21, 2021.
Good luck!
Aqueduct Racetrack Picks for Thursday
- Race 6: Just Right 7/2 (win)
- Race 6: Charlie McCoy 8/1 (sleeper)
- Race 7: Bustin Shout 5/2 (win)
- Race 7: Morning Breez 8/1 (show)
- Race 8: Big Brown Shoes 7/2 (win)
Aqueduct had plenty of low-end show tickets for us to consider, as well as some second-favored underdogs to fancy. I found those underdogs in races 7 and 8 (I stuck by the morning line for race 6).
There was an 8/1 entry in race 7 that was only worth a show ticket, but I found a different, more ambitious 8/1 in race 6 that could be worth an across the board wager.

Thursday’s Predictions for Fair Grounds Race Course
- Race 5: Love Bound 6/1 (win)
- Race 5: Mandoline Star 15/1 (show)
- Race 7: Boyfriend Material 5/2 (win)
- Race 9: Taking Notes 6/1 (win)
- Race 9: Baquero’s Bind 8/1 (sleeper)
I found a fourth-favored entry in race 5 and a third favored in race 9, so already we have some good odds to our win bets. I also found a 15/1 long-odds show ticket in race 5, as well as an 8/1 sleeper to think about in race 9.
I went with the morning line’s choice in race 7 because there really was no question which horse would be the winner of that run.

My Thursday Picks for Gulfstream Park
- Race 3: Wicked Mercury 5/1 (win)
- Race 5: Gear Jockey 3/1 (win)
- Race 5: Carmichael 20/1 (show)
- Race 9: Richiesgotgame 9/2 (win)
- Race 9: Yes This Time 20/1 (show)
As with the other two tracks, my win picks at Gulfstream were much more underdog and much less morning line than usual. I found a fourth-favored entry in race 3 to tout and a third-favored entry in race 9, but I found myself agreeing with the morning line in race 5.
