JEROME THE TOP DRAW DURING CLOSING WEEK AT AQUEDUCT

JEROME THE TOP DRAW DURING CLOSING WEEK AT AQUEDUCT

Once-beaten The Lumber Guy tired after setting the pace in the Wood Memorial S. (G1) last out, but looms a big danger cutting back in trip in this one. The Michael Hushion trainee has big early speed and will be tough if allowed to dictate the tempo from the start in this one.

Others likely for this one-turn mile include the talented Adirondack King, from the barn of John Servis. The son of Lawyer Ron has butted heads with some of the best of his generation and looms a big danger with his best in here. Gulfstream allowance winner Right to Vote, Todd Pletcher's Dan and Sheila, and smart maiden winners Sensor and Guyana Star Dweej, add to the depth of this field.

The $75,000 Northern Willy S. will be on the Jerome undercard on Saturday.
