R9 - G2 Swale

#3 No Nay Never (2-1) - Impressive in 3 starts in 3 different countries. Super talented runner and no reason to think the dirt will be an issue. 2ND
#6 Brothersofthetime (12-1) - Should be coming late off the cut back. 3RD
#4 Prudhoe Bay (5-1) - Distance fits him well and we'll see how he stacks up with this group. 4TH
#2 Can't Stop the Kid (6-1) - Will have to carry his speed another furlong. Benefits from the big scratch of Havana and speed favoring strip.

R10 - G3 Palm Beach (Turf 9F)

#4 Pleuven (Fr) (5-1) - Took money in 1st U.S. start and ran well late after missing the break. A cleaner start and the extra real estate do the trick. 4TH
#11 Can'thelpbelieving (Ire) (12-1) - Motion showing confidence after a terrific maiden score where closed like a freight train into soft fractions.
#10 Mr. Speaker (4-1) - Dirt experience was negative and his win in the Dania Beach was impressive. Obvious contender. 2ND
#12 Cabo Cat (6-1) - Two solid efforts to start the year and Rosario sticks. Probably use underneath.

Aqueduct

R9 - G3 Gotham

#10 Harpoon (10-1) - Expect the price to come down because he's an improving colt. There seems to be more speed lined up here than in the G3 Withers and his stalking style is well suited here.
#3 Financial Mogul (10-1) - Exits a strong race and this is his 2nd start off a break. Doesn't hurt that he broke his maiden in his 2nd start.
#8 Extrasexyhippzster (4-1) - Showed ability to rate in Miracle Wood victory and owns a local win as well.
#4 Uncle Sigh (3-1) - Training lights out, gutsy performer, and Nakatani picks up the mount. 2ND

Good Racing Luck

Thanks Gus....
Do you have any thoughts or an opinion about the Maxxam GC at Sam Houston tonight? Some nice competition in here and I was thinking about a look at the local Texas Air. The track has been carrying speed and this boy is stretching out an extra 1/8. Frac Daddy hasnt been seen since Nov but has been training well. Any comment would be appreciated.

Good luck today....

Havana scratched from The Swale with a quarter crack, per Twitter.

Good luck today, Gus!

Thanks, Billy - I'll take a look at it and post some selections this afternoon. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks, Mike
