Our feature race this week on the road to the Kentucky Derby is the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes
at Aqueduct in New York so weather could certainly factor into your handicapping for this one.
I like the 4 horse Uncle Sigh in this race. Last time in the Withers he was forced into
making the lead and Samraat caught him in the final strides. Samraat is in this field
as well but I think the scenario could set up a for Uncle Sigh to stalk the inside speed
horses and then out finish the rest and this horse has had two sensational works coming
into the Gotham and I also like the fact that Corey Nakatani is coming in to take the ride
on Uncle Sigh. So for me Uncle Sigh is gonna be the key horse. Bet him to win and place.
Use him as the key in exactas and I would key him with the 1 horse on the inside In
Trouble. He's only had two six furlong races but has show a lot of talent. Off the layoff
and lack of distance tests I can't use In Trouble for the win but he could be good.
Samraat I think you have to use. Same for Harpoon though I don't like the number 10
post position. If you want to go one more. Pletcher's horse Monopolized the number 5
could improve coming up from Florida. But Uncle Sigh is the pick for me to win the Gotham
but make sure you have your Keeneland Select account funded each week to play the Derby
