Gene Menez has compiled his predictions and choices regarding the contenders for the 2025 Gotham Stakes. For further details and to view Menez’s top picks, visit SportsLine now.

Top 2025 Gotham Stakes Predictions

One notable mention by Menez is Calling Card, listed as a 6-1 longshot. This horse, sired by Complexity, who has won five out of ten races, recently won over its home turf at Aqueduct by over 17 lengths in November.

While he struggled in his last race in New Orleans, Menez believes that a return to the familiar Aqueduct dirt track could see Calling Card regain his impressive form. “If he can get back to that level, he’ll have a chance in this race that is expected to suit his off-the-pace running style,” stated Menez.

Additionally, Menez is endorsing a horse known for its tenacity, along with a double-digit longshot that is seemingly improving at the right moment. Keep checking for Menez’s exclusive insights on which horses to support.
