It was a good contest back when you had to pick every race.

i should have said to win. he can hit the board. but i dont see how he can rate and either run down lost aptitude or hold off nordic truce and the other closers.

his two turn races havent really been his better efforts.

I also don't automatically buy the 95 he got for the Pasadena. Alfarabi had an 8-9 point jump off his previously consistent top to run third despite having no new advantage from a trip standpoint IMO. If Macias is higher than 2-1, I'll be surprised, and to me he's the third or fourth likeliest winner.

I don't see how the Clement isn't going to be a deserving favorite here if he is the favorite, and if not even better. There is a real abundance of speed in this race to set the race up for that horse, who has shown himself to be very professional in winning his first two races so far. Should get a great setup and looks to have some talent as well.

Any Thoughts? yeah. i used to love that track now its about as good as finger lakes

ellis? :mad:

The 2 is crushed in doubles over Macias.

Game effort from Strike the Tiger. 22.3 and 45.4 battle with Macias but hangs tight for a piece.

He ran a terrific race.

The big news is that Keeneland set an opening day attendance record today !!!!

With how beautiful it looked there, I don't doubt it.

It is ridiculously awesome in the Midwest today. Chicago it is 80 degrees, breezy.

Puts ya in a good mood after what was a rough week.

What I don't like about Keeneland is their inclusion of maiden claiming races.This is supposed to be a meet for some of the best horses in the country.Why they wish to cheapen their racing cards with such refuse is a mystery.Plenty of opportunity for those at Churchill.

Gorgeous day ar Keeneland today. Stayed until the end of the 6th race. It was a zoo exiting out of the place. Hit two nice trifectas and won my money back plus a few $$'s on the two Smarty J. entries. Will be there tomorrow.

What? They write races for the horses they have. They can't card all allowance and stakes races if they're not gonna fill.

Out of the 150+ races they will run at the meet 7 are maiden claimers, and 2 of the 7 are maiden claiming 100k.
