2010 Wood Memorial Pick
Contributed By Big Daddy No BucksPosted on 4/2/10 8:52 AM
While there may be a 3 year old that can beat Eskendereya out there I don't believe its in the six horse field for tomorrow's Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Racetrack. Eskendereya's run in the Fountain of Youth (see below) was very impressive. He left a field that included Jackson Bend and Ice Box in the dust. If any of the five horses challenging Eskendereya in the Wood can race with Eskendereya it looks to me to be Awesome Act. Unfortunately there's no money to be made in betting either Eskendereya or Awesome Act, so I'll be betting on Schoolyard Dreams as a spoiler.
