Notes:
Gotham Stakes hero Stay Thirsty has his eye on the April 3 Florida Derby. Speaking of the Gulfstream showcase, Dialed In finished a solid 2nd behind his stablemate Equestrio in the 4th race at Gulfstream Park on March 6. Nick Zito was pleased with his effort and the promising son of Mineshaft should be sitting on ready next time.
