RTKYD'11 WEEK 6: Gotham Stks

Quieter day on the Road to the Derby tomorrow, with only the Gotham Stks (8.5f-III [103]/250K) here at the Big A. last year it was the English invader Awesome Act, who wnt on to run unplaced in the Derby. Here is tomorrow's field with official pre-post. They are not much on paper with only one NG stakes winner (Tobys Corner). will put my wonderful tipping record on the line and go for Nacho Saint. On the second tier of 2yo, won his maiden first up at 3, so hope he can go on with it. Bit of a weak pedigree and probably as far as he likes

STAY THIRSTY PARADING

FINISH OF THE GOTHAM

The main racing spotlight tomorrow is at Santa Anita with 3 Group I's incl the SA Oaks and the $750K "Big 'Cap" as the main feature. Twirling Candy will be a very short price in the SAH. Of note, they offer a 'Dime Superfecta' exotic(First Four) and one columnist recommends an anchor with five runners for 2nd, six runners for 3rd and the field of 10 for 4th, that would cost $22.50 for the ticket.
