Default Saturday April 13 Keeneland Points Picks go here

We are remaining at beautiful Keeneland for a race card that includes the Jenny Wiley and the Lexington, the final opportunity for Derby hopefuls to earn qualifying points.

Please have your selections for the 11 race card posted on this thread not later than 1:00 PM Eastern.

Good luck to all and thank you to Digger for scoring.

**For those of you on Derby qualifying watch, the numbers work out as follows: The last horse to qualify for the Derby on points is Grand Mo the First with 40 points. Hades comes into the Lexington with 30 points, so a first or second puts him into the Derby field (he wins the tiebreaker with Grand Mo the First if they both end up with 40). Encino currently has 20 points, so he would need a win to get into the field. Liberal Arts currently has 19 points, so a win would not guarantee him a place in the field, but would put him on the bubble if there are future defections. That bubble would get very crowded, since both Common Defense and Epic Ride have 40 qualifying points. Clearly, there is a lot on the line in the Lex.
