BOW TOWN CAT (#3) is one of the few horses in this race who has matched and surpassed Picture Day’s top speed figures. The problem is that she can be somewhat inconsistent. Yet whenever Bow Town Cat is able to secure the early lead, she can be very dangerous, and that figures to be the case here.

All eyes will be on Gulfstream Park on Saturday as last year’s champion 2-year-old Good Magic makes his first start since winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile in the Grade 2, $400,000 Fountain of Youth. Electing to give the colt only two preps prior to the Kentucky Derby, his connections will send out their stable star to take on nine rivals in his 3-year-old debut. His 2-year-old resume makes him a heavy favorite, but there are some worthy rivals among this group of challengers.
TimeformUS handicapper David Aragona highlights some contenders on Friday's card at Aqueduct.
There are richer races than the $100,000 Herecomesthebride Stakes on Saturday's Fountain of Youth card at Gulfstream, but to my eyes, it is the stakes race that offers the richest wagering opportunity. Favorable odds should exist on a horse whom I believe the public will underestimate: the recent maiden graduate Brattata.
