San Pablo enters Aqueduct's $75,000 Queens County as heavy favorite on Saturday

San Pablo enters Saturday's $75,000 Queens County at Aqueduct as the 3-5 favorite. The race is a 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-olds and up. San Pablo is 3-2-0 at Aqueduct. The last time San Pablo raced at Aqueduct was in March in the Excelsior Stakes (Grade 3), finishing second behind Marilyn's Guy in the six-horse field. San Pablo's last race was Nov. 21 in the Swatara Stakes at Penn National, where the four-year-old placed first, beating Norman Asbjornson in the four-horse field. Also in that race was Isn't He Perfect, who enters the Queens County at 5-1. Isn't He Perfect ran in the 2011 Preakness (9th) and Belmont (12th).

The second favorite is Gallant Fields (4-1). Gallant Fields has just one first-place finish in the past 12 races. In his last race, the Bold Ruler Handicap (Grade 3) at Belmont Park, Gallant Fields (ridden by Joel Rosario) finished sixth, a length ahead of heavy favorite, Caixa Eletronica.

The 2011 Queens County winner was Ron The Greek, beating Inherit The Gold.
