THE HOT SHEET selections for the Fountain Of Youth At Gulfstream are:
BUDDY'S SAINT has done nothing wrong and I believe he will assert himself here as a top contender for the Derby.
PEASANT PRINCE’s Beyer’s are improving. He has a top jockey and is bred to run all day. The trainer doesn’t hurt him either.
ESKENDEREYA-- Pletcher has all kinds of bullets for the Derby but looks like one of his better ones.
PRINCE WILL I AM – I’m taking him for fourth to boost exotics. I love his breeding and his last Beyer. If he doesn't bounce, it could put him in the middle at a whopping price.
My bonus race will be another three-year-old race at the Fairgrounds, race 10. Rising star #2 TEMPTED TO TAPIT, I believe is ready to step up to this level. #11 RON THE GREEK won the prep for this. #4 DISCREETLY MINE -- another Plecther bullet. To round out the exotics, #6 Drosselmeyer has progressed really nicely in figures and could better this rating and possibly win this at a nice price.
I would like to bring your attention to a solid longshot play at Gulfstream in the 9th, 1 mile on the turf. #6 VANQUISHER -- 20-1 morning line in fine form and is reunited with a jockey who has won with him at Gulfstream on the turf at this distance.
That's the way THE HOT SHEET sees it. Good luck.
