Back in the early 1980s, trainer Oscar Barrera was notoriously successful in New York using the tactic of running his horses back on just a few days rest.

Today at Aqueduct, trainer Rene Araya takes a page from Barrera’s book when he saddles T Storm in the $75,000 Correction Handicap, at six furlongs for fillies and mares.

The 4-year-old daughter of the top sprinter Salt Lake ran just three days ago at the Big A, finishing a close third in a solid allowance field.

“She ran pretty good the other day,” Araya said. “I didn’t work her in three works before that race and used it as a workout. Not that I didn’t want to win it, too.

“I was waiting to see if she came out good. If she did, I said I’d run in the Correction, and she came back perfect. I won the Comely (in 1995) with Nappelon in a similar situation. She won a $60,000 claimer Monday, then won the stakes Friday.”

Araya is switching jockeys from Octavio Vergara to Jose Beitia, who rode T Storm two races back, because Beitia rides light and T Storm gets in with a feathery 109 pounds.

She’s also a horse for the course, with three wins, two seconds and three thirds from nine starts over Aqueduct’s inner dirt track, including a victory in the Dearly Precious Stakes last February.

T Storm, however, isn’t the only distaffer in the Correction who loves the IDT.

Go Again Valid, the 3-1 morning-line favorite coming off a score in the Grade 3 Interborough here on New Year’s Day, has three wins and three seconds from six starts over the inner.

“She’s coming into this race very well,” said Loretta Lusteg, assistant to Go Again Valid’s trainer John Kimmel, who’s in Florida. “Probably better than last time.”

Flamingo Way, Miss Thermal Tech, Di’s Time and Carleaville have a combined record of 11 victories and 11 other in-the-money finishes from 26 tries over the IDT.
