I like Conquest Big E in Saturday's Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct.
It is only March and, visually, unbeaten Mohaymen again looked terrific in his Fountain of Youth win. I am at least beginning to wonder why the Beyer Speed Figures are not heading north. Mohaymen's five Beyers are 87, 89, 95, 95 and 95.

The featured 10th race is one of a handful of perplexing handicapping challenges on the Sunday card at Gulfstream. There are four European imports to analyze as well as some promising runners returning from long layoffs.

DRF handicapper Matt Bernier outlines his strategy for playing the daily double on Saturday's program at Santa Anita.

Saturday, I couldn't get past a couple Canadians at Gulfstream Park in a pair of undercard races on the Fountain of Youth card: Tower of Texas in the appropriately named Canadian Turf, and Elusive Collection in the Sand Springs.
