Analysis: Much like Zulu last week, it’s now time for Shagaf to get his big test in the Gotham Stakes this weekend. The horse does have enough talent to make things interesting, and is even ranked number one by Santa Anita morning line maker Jon White. Hopefully he can live up to the hype and run a solid race at Aqueduct this weekend.
