The last carded race of the meet...right? Hit the super in that race last year

You're right! They moved it up in the day a couple of years ago but it just didn't have the same appeal. I hit a tri ticket on last years. Had show and fourth reversed on my super.

Before I die, I want to win the cheap starter allowance Keeneland writes in the spring. A few years ago it was a 10f race. I think it was reduced to 9.5f last year.

It's not quite the Ft. Harrod but I don't exactly own stakes horses......

Chuck, you find any claimers eligible to the Kee starter that can get 10f, let me know!!!! 8-)

I love the marathons!!!

Pat Day ****ed me from winning the 2003 version. Ended up running 7th of 12, dq'd up to 6th, but at least I got to see him go by twice!!!!

Hackercraft will be eligible...

1 5/8 miles at Kee? I can't wait to see that race. You'll be able to time it with a flip calendar.

Yeah, there really is nothing quite like a full field of bad horses lumbering around the racetrack at the speed of snail.

Go for it, fifth place will be a better payday than most of his outings. The problem is 12 furlongs on the poly is really not a big deal since turf horses will fill the field.
