Last Race: Grade 3 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct, Finished 1st
Analysis: Yet another horse that will be running this weekend in the Blue Grass Stakes. It’s a curious move because he won the Gotham at Aqueduct, where the Wood Memorial will be run this weekend, so I assumed he’d ship up for that race. Instead, they’ll run him in this difficult spot, but with his 53 points, it’s not important for him to win this race as far as making the Derby field goes.
