Horseracing Betting Lines

03/03/2010 - Ozone Park, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A field of 10 Kentucky Derby hopefuls has been entered for Saturday's $250,000 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct. The 1 1/16- mile Gotham is the final local prep before the $750,000 Wood Memorial on April 3.

Topping the field of three-year-olds is Whirlaway Stakes winner Peppi Knows. Trained by Timothy Kreiser, the gelding will start from post six with Richard Migliore back to ride.

Peppi Knows, owned by Philip Messina, is the winner of four of six lifetime starts for $178,400. As a two-year-old last year he won his first two starts at Penn National and closed 2009 in the Remsen with a second behind Buddy's Saint in November.

Whirlaway runner-up Afleet Again has drawn post nine with Kendrick Carmouche picking up the mount. The son of Afleet Alex is owned by Cash is King Stable and trained by Robert Reid.

"He's proven he likes the inner track," said Reid. "We'd like a longer race, the further, the better for him. He's a big, bulky horse and once he gets rolling you don't want to have him check, or go wide, or anything like that."

Afleet Again did not break his maiden until the fourth start and then finished fifth in the Count Fleet at Aqueduct on January 2. He won an allowance race at Philadelphia Park before the Whirlaway.

The gray gelding has eight starts with two wins and $86,950.

Three Day Rush, third in the Whirlaway, is trainer Todd Pletcher's only starter in the Gotham. Owned by Starlight Partners, the colt will leave from the inside post with Fernando Jara in the saddle.

Three Day Rush won the $200,000 Monmouth Park NATC Futurity last September and was fifth in the Iroquois at Churchill Downs in November. Overall the colt has earned $171,468 in seven career starts.

Here is the complete field for the Gotham in post position order: Three Day Rush, Fernando Jara; Yawanna Twist, Edgar Prado; Nacho Friend, Joe Bravo; Awesome Act, Julien Leparoux; I've Got the Fever, Channing Hill; Peppi Knows, Richard Migliore; Shrimp Dancer, C.C. Lopez; Turf Melody, Ramon Dominguez; Afleet Again, Kendrick Carmouche and Wow Wow Wow, Corey Nakatani.

The Gotham has a scheduled post-time of 5:12 p.m. (et).
