The first big race of the day at Aqueduct is in the books just as the sun is trying to break through.
Capt. Candyman Can, a horse that was once considered a major contender for the Kentucky Derby, rolled to an easy victory 3 3/4-length win over another former Derby hopeful Taqarub.
Trainer Ian Wilkes, who worked for many years for Carl Nafzger, will bring the horse right back to Churchill Downs and run him in the Matt Winn Stakes on May 16. Looks like "Derby fever" will not affect the "Candyman crew" as they are ultimately are shooting for the King's Bishop at Saratoga in August.
