Was this his first time around 2 turns?

Ouch. 91 for the QEII.

Yes

Not surprised- that field sucked other than Gozzip Girl, who didn't run a lick.

89 in the Perryville is equally disappointing.

You should see the race replay--his start was "Touch Gold in the Preakness" bad.

He's the 6 horse.

If you like to see a 2YO who can shrug off trouble, he's your man.

In all likelihood they are skipping Santa Anita, for the all too obvious reason.

But keep an eye out for him at GP.

Didn't you just get "hitched?"

Most likely Delta Jackpot 1st. Seems to be taking the Big Drama path.

Sure did!

We did make it to Keeneland yesterday after getting back late Saturday night. As much as I dislike polytrack, as far as on track experience goes, only Saratoga is better to me. They continue to make improvements over there, this season it's Disney World-style shuttle buses.

Is it just me but don't the Keeneland beyers look abit on the light side?

Just for the Stakes horses.
Those debuting are are putting up some nice Beyers.
Just this weekend we saw 3 nice firsters run off the screen.

American Lion: 93 (2nd start)
Connie and Michael: 95
Came East: 93 (40k Mdn Claimer)

I was thinking the same after Saturday's performance. Definately on my radar.

Something's wrong better than El Brujo a back to back stks winner...thx for the info.

Real obscure looking pedigree - but his 2nd dam is the Iron New York Bred millionaire mare Lottsa Talc .

Absolutely unheard of, this 2yr old FILLY runs a Zenyatta like beyer and was being pointed to the BC JF before she even raced yet the odds maker makes her 12-1ml and pretends he has not heard the buzz about this horse.:zz: :wf .

Please PLEASE keep telling me im wrong to believe there was a conspiracy to dupe the betting public

Where did you hear the BC talk about this horse?

There was none before the actual race but this was included in the latest track report for Keeneland on DRF.

"Connie and Michael eyes Breeders' Cup

The flashy maiden win (and 93 Beyer Speed Figure) by the WinStar Farm colt American Lion here Sunday wasn't the only eye-catching performance by a 2-year-old last weekend at Keeneland. Connie and Michael, a first-time starter for trainer Ken McPeek, earned a 95 Beyer in leading throughout to win Saturday's eighth race by 7 3/4 lengths.

McPeek said Connie and Michael, by Roman Ruler, will be considered for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, although whether she can make the 14-horse lineup without any graded earnings is questionable, he conceded. He said the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf also is a possibility.

"She's just so talented," he said.

McPeek added that Fist of Rage, a narrow winner of his career debut here Oct. 14, is under consideration for the BC Juvenile.

Also, McPeek has confirmed that Robby Albarado will have the mount back on Beautician when the filly runs Nov. 6 in the BC Juvenile Fillies. Albarado rode Beautician to win her career debut in June before Kent Desormeaux rode her in her next three races."

Of course, anyone who knows McPeaked would be certain that every 2YO in his barn is being pointed to the Breeders' Cup. If you listen to the interviews Battaglia does after races KmcP is the only one who always answers the question about going to the BC with "Oh, absolutely."

When the Morning Line is way off on a "live horse", there is a ton of value to be had in playing blind p3's and p4's to that horse.
I thought this horse looked very live when I went over the PP's the day before the race. Mcpeeks guy was riding Kent D. They were 2 really nice Bullet works then a bunch of easy works leading up to the race.

Please, don't even try and use simple logic. It was a putover of the worst kind. Battaglia needed to get out for the meet so he and McPeek conspired and ended up with a fat 5/2. Now the "voice" Battaglia was seen carrying bags of money to the local credit union with "Connie and Michael" written on the outside. They, of course, had Ben Huffman, Racing Secretary involved so that he would card this as Race 8, the 2nd leg of the Pick 4, leaving the poor, mis-guided public to assume the 12-1 morning line meant Connie and Michael was a goat. It was a disgrace and scourge against Keeneland and the entire sport.:rolleyes:

The only, ONLY
reason they got 5/2 on the horse was because of the 12-1 morning line. If she had been 5-1/11-2 like Steve suggested she would of went off 3/5. Money went elsewhere late because of info provided in the program(odds and works). 5/2 was HUGE for this horse.
