4-3: Keeneland (Late P4)
 

Keeneland joins the daily lineups of action this weekend with three weeks of premium racing on tap... despite the synthetic main track. The Transylvania (Gr. III) serves as the opening day feature to get wagerers in the mood for what should be a tremendous Saturday across the country.

Steve, I'm 100% in agreement with you on the Transylvania. I expect Skipadate to run a big one and the others underneath as well. It would be a nice way to kickoff the weekend.

Steve, please double check me, think Florentino is the #5 in the Transylvania, not the #6.

BOL with your plays!!

Steve, **** load of rain down here today, it has stopped now but it was pouring this morning at 6-7am-ish....

The Polytrack is fast; the turf is yielding

Update: Race 5 has been pulled off the turf and will be run over the Polytrack at 1 1/16 miles; race 9, the Central Bank Transylvania, remains on the yielding turf
The Gallop Master will be used today after training, first with the tines set at 4 inches and again with the tines set at 3 inches. The Gallop Master will be used again after races 1, 2, 5, 6 and 9 with the tines set at 3 inches.

The current height of the grass on the turf course is 5 inches

The rail is up

Xpress bet has the Transylvania OFF TURF.

Track is listing as still on, anyone know what the real status is??:confused:

Never noticed (LA) in the late changes before - any ideas? both were already listed Lasix

If it does come off turf.... stormalory still a heavy favorite... but orthodox looks enticing depending on scratches....

Turf Yielding says Xpressbet for the feature..

First Kitten's Joy baby about to run at KEE... Ramsey-Maker #7 Cater to Kitten.

2nd to the predictably impressive debutter from Ward...

in kentucky they define lasix as (L) lasix or (LA) lasix adjunct.

think he won the photo for second... nice big blaze on the face like dad. thought he was an underlay at 9/2.
wesley ward wins a 2yo race at keeneland, there's a shocker :rolleyes: why do they bother to run these races!

The photos were for 3rd and beyond. The Ramsey-Maker was well seperated from the rest of the field.

that horse was a rocket..

Wesley Ward horse wins the 4th - 4/5 fav......

TVG folks keep talking about a speed bias. I don't see it. 3 clear leaders the first 3 races. The winner in the 4th towered over the field and the other who dueled for the lead faded bad.

I know it's early, but seems pretty fair to me so far. Have I judged something wrong?

No doubt. She was gone!! :eek:

Hate that the 7 scratched out of the 6th race. Don't like the early favorite, gonna play a 1,4,10 box (originally posted the 3 by mistake - don't want her)

$59 total....Best of luck to those playing today!!!!

I told Thebby I've never seen a horse's legs move so fast. He ran like he had 6 legs.

finally the tote blows up a bit in the 6th... like the way the track is playing though, seems to be fair to all comers.

I thought this was a solid P4 sequence, well carded. Here's what I'm going with:

R7: 3-6-8
R8: 10-11
R9: 1-2-5-8
R10: 1-9-11

$72

I like the 7 in here a bit.

Alive to $495, $1233 and $1100 something.

ouch
good cappin though

Nice that the Racing Form failed to have the correct minimum of the P4's at KEE... My own fault for not going to the KEE website and checking but I wouldn't have thought DRF would have it wrong. Didn't recall KEE having a .50 minimum.

The minimum for the Pick 4 isn't listed on Brisnet's, either. Odd, since they have the minimum for the tri (.50) and super (.10)..........

boo,

Heard from a listener via Email that Xpressbet didn't have it correct in their wagering menu either. Sounds like the info wasn't sent out. Very frustrating.

This their third or fourth meeting with the $0.50 P4 (I'm sure they had it last spring, possibly '07 fall). I believe they were the first track to offer it.

twinspires did have it on their wagering menu, though (almost tempted to play, but thank goodness I passed)......

I noticed that when I logged on to make my play. I was tempted to revoke and revise, but I stuck with what I had and the $1 base. Despite the loss, I didn't like Tweeter in the last. Good news is, like baseball, we can go back at it tomorrow.

Follow up on the Keeneland $.50 P4 option on Xpressbet. The header for today's Race 7 still does not indicate "min $.50." But if you go to Wager on the P4, the $.50 option is available.
