10/29: Keeneland (4th-9th)

[Kasept]

Fun day Wednesday as the rollercoaster ride at Keeneland continues. Getting knocked out of the P4 in the first leg by tricky The Big Finisher ($16.00) proved OK. Miffed by the early KO, I turned around with a 3x3x4 ($36) Late P3 play that came back a fat $426 thanks to $34.00 nightcap winner Bill Harv Rib. The P4 paid $2,700 (.50) and would have been nice, but the P3 took the sting out...

The feature was darn lucrative too, as top tab Diamond Song ($7.80) won over Best Value second choice Silver Time (11-2) and Super Add Pina Colada (12-1) for a juicy $162.20 ($1) triple. This was a case where despising a bad ML fave (Wild Poppy) payed off. By covering Wild Poppy in the multi-race wagers only, you get room in your exotic plays for a horse like Pina Colada who made the trifecta payoff worthwhile.

Hope you did well! Off the turf in NY today, so the Late P4 isn't nearly as inviting as it looked initially. Keeneland has but three more cards, so we'll keep playing there...
