The $200,000 Gotham Stakes (G3) on Saturday afternoon at Aqueduct saw 36-1 longshot Like Now lead at every call, and hold off the late move of 8-5 second choice Keyed Entry to win by a neck in 1:43.17 for the 1 1/16 miles over the fast inner dirt track. It was just a half-length back to third place finisher Sweetnorthernsaint and another half-length to Greeley's Legacy in fourth.
