Aqueduct | Race 3 | Post Time 2:11 p.m. (ET) Linda Rice sends out a couple of contenders in this claimer, including potential favorite Will Not Be Swayed (#5). This filly is getting class relief that she probably needs after trying a much tougher field on turf last time. While she has run well on grass before, she's nearly as talented on dirt, and was mildly compromised by a slow pace in her last dirt race in March. She does get Flavien Prat aboard, but that's a double-edged sword as it means she's likely to take more money. Always Angels (#6) is a former Linda Rice runner now making her first start off the claim for Rob Atras. She lost as an odds-on favorite at this level last time, and hasn't quite run back to that impressive 8-length score first off the claim for Rice in January. She's obviously a contender, but there's more rain in the forecast and she hasn't always run her best races over wet tracks. I'll try to beat this pair with Rachel's Rock (#4). She faced a tougher field on Starter Championship Day last month and faded after setting the pace going a mile. That effort was still a step in the right direction off her 2026 return. She had been risked for a lower claiming tag that day and did herself no favors by getting rank and pulling forward down the backstretch. She settled better up front last time, but the distance exposed her stamina limitations. She's at her best going shorter, and now she cuts back to an appropriate sprint distance
