David Aragona's Monday TimeformUS Highlight Horse at Aqueduct.
TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Monday’s card at Aqueduct.
WAR OF WILL is now 3 for 3 on dirt, and there is no one at Fair Grounds this season who can get close to him. He followed up his Lecomte victory with an equally emphatic win here, with similar trips in both. He had outside draws, settled just off the pace, advanced when needed, and never was in danger through the lane. This race was the first worth 50 points to the winner, making it essentially a Win and You’re In for the Derby.
The TimeformUS Pace Projector is predicting that Gray Attempt may have to work harder in the early stages of Monday's Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park to replicate his front-running Smarty Jones score.
