Nashua and Swaps Set for Gulfstream Handicaps Run
Nashua and Swaps are eyeing the $100,000 Widener and Gulfstream Park Handicap Saturday at Hialeah. Jet Action aims to upset Nashua with Melchior Tenney’s colt unable to run if conditions fail, while leaders Sailor Find and others prepare for the mile and an eighth feature. Ellsworth’s Terrang and Will Shoemaker head strong contingents as rivals, with Nashua expected to be ridden by Eddie Arcaro if he runs.
