Aqueduct, Saturday April 8th, 2006
Track: Sloppy/Sealed, all day
only two races had faster 6 furlong fractional calls than the Wood. They were the Bayshore, where the best sprinter in the country ran and the Carter. The Wood was racehorse fast. They were motoring. The track was deep and tiring and the more doubters force scrutiny of that card the better the Wood looks. Keyed Entry should run in the Derby and Bob and John and Jazil moved further up. Its gonna be a wing dinger for the placing horses in the Derby, even if the winner is about a lock.
