Looking forward to Keeneland taking entries today for possible 7f event Friday for Kickin N Screamin...

More late this morning... Hope the race fills and goes!

she's not doing well on R&R ??

Me too, I might finally get to see her run live (other than the day we claimed her :) )

She did great.. She got all the rest she could stand. Looks fabulous and happy.

Just downloaded DRF and she appears to fit well w/these

Rockin good news and a nice surprise for an otherwise dull Tuesday - think it was only about 10 days (??) ago saw KNS' :{>: classmate Pish Posh wire the field at a nice price and thought hmmmmm, if only there were some way to get her off the farm lol - will be watching from work ugh ....

DRF CLOSER LOOK by BRIAN POCHMAN

Kickin N Screamin
Capable barn has shown up with two live starters at this meeting, and it appears that they have a contender signed on for this contest as this filly looks like a good fit at this 7.5K claiming level; she's had success over synthetic surfaces, and she seems to be suited nicely for 7f to 1m.

Exclusive Hopper
Not sure what to make of this nine-year-old mare while getting ready to make her first start over a synthetic surface, and she has won just once in her last 17 starts going back through 2008, but can't help but feel that this barn has her ready to run a good one to show up with her here; third finisher from latest returned to win next-out at ElP on 9/7 going 5 1/2f to vs. 20-17.5K claimers with a 58 Beyer.

Silver Doll
She made her synthetic surface racing debut a winning one when last seen, but she's needed to take some time off since that performance, and it doesn't look like it's going to prove to be an easy task to be involved in the early running in here and keep something in reserve for the stretch run.

Whispering Heat
She showed up with a decent performance at RD two starts back, but that type of race hasn't been the norm for her lately, and she can't afford to show up with anything less than a top try if she's going to make some noise in here.

Beckley
This filly has recorded a solid race record from 19 starts over synthetic surfaces, and perhaps the drop to the 7.5K claiming level is just what she's looking for; however, her recent form does raise a question or two, and she's yet to finish in the top three from three starts over this surface.

Love You Crazy
This mare is out of a multiple stakes winning dam, and it's interesting to see that she gets a rider switch to Martinez for this as he's had success riding for this outfit; winner from latest returned to win next-out at Mnr on 10/19 going 6f vs. 15-13K claimers with a 68 Beyer.

Connie's June Moon
After seeing the sharp improvement she showed in her first start over turf in her most recent outing it's a little shocking to see her entered over a synthetic surface today, and the winner from her latest race returned to win next-out at KD on 9/28 going 1m over turf vs. 10-9K claimers with a 76 Beyer.

Serenity Lake
Even though she has raced alright in her two most recent races, its still tough not to notice the decline in form since exiting the Pierce barn, and she is going to need to improve upon her recent form in order to threaten these.

Gold Crop
If you can excuse her most recent race, her two starts prior to that were solid enough to suggest that she can compete with these, and this mare owns the type of tactical speed that can be very useful at today's seven furlong distance.

Illuminique
Perhaps she needs to be racing over a dirt surface to be at her best, but this is a mare who has won 11 of 35 career starts, and she's 2-for-2 at today's distance; she's not at the top of the list, but not willing to count her out of it either.

Echoes Resounding
There isn't any questioning that this filly is on top of her game right now and this looks like a sensible spot for her to land in after making it look easy against 5K N3L claimers in her latest outing at TP; she's to be respected in here.

Heavenly Surprise
This mare is the only one in here who can boast of having a victory at this venue, and she's proven to be a tough one to keep out of the mix in 2009 with nine top three finishes from 13 starts; she gets a rider switch to Albarado for this and note that he won with her the last time he was aboard.

Great to have her race at Keeneland!

It is too bad about that post position. I don't know the stats off hand, but it seems like horses breaking from posts 1 & 2 haven't done too well in the one-turn races at this meet.
But still, she definitely seems very live here, and I easily could see it coming down to her and the two outside runners.
Best of luck to all involved with DT. I hope she wins another one for you guys.

Post #1 winning 11% in sprints for meet. 11% last 7 days.

Oh, that's not as bad as I thought it was.
Do you know what it is for posts 1 & 2?

Kickin personally had her best race breaking from the rail at AP last year in a20KclmNL2. And w/the full fieds KEE has had, 11% winning from the rail is a decent number.

Anybody else going to be there? Bill W and I will be.

Yup in the house 2morrow

I don't think I'll be able to maaaa....Oh what the Hell. I'm in !!!:D

Late lunch........
 

Will be watching from the "cave" on the Sand Flats.......good luck KNS & team Simon! :)

I will be watching on Twin Spires while I "work"
Safe travels to all and best of racing luck to Kickin N Screamin

I'll be watching on my laptop on about the 7th hole.;) Go get em KNS!

Good luck today guys!! Bring home the :tro: !

Good Luck today to the DT crew. May she run well and come home safe. Hope to see you all go to the winners circle. Safe travels to everyone.

Best of luck and hope she comes back fine.

Just heard that the 2 in KNS's race will race with no hind shoes.....wonder if it has to do with the layoff since 8/22

LOL.. Anyone watching the KEE feed and see KNS dragging Cherie thru the enclosure? Hysterical...

real nice sunny (breezy??) day out there - have video but no audio lol - they just showed Cherie bringing her over to the ring - KNS on the muscle and prancing of course but Cherie has it all under control - she looks good, now riders up - GOOD LUCK !

What's with the silks?

i noticed that as well, looked to be on her toes

where's the silks steve?


-bt-

That was my next question - I like our silks better!

Matt Caruthers just called her a "plodding type"...F You pretty boy!

I was more laughing at them making Cherie wear the blanket or whatever those things are called :)

was so busy watching the little horse lift Cherie up off the ground didn't even notice the silks LOL - oh yeah and f-u Matt Carrothers lol..

Keeneland silks room botched the jacket.. They had them this morning. And Chuck was too busy getting the saddle on psycho that he didn't have time to go deal with it. He put her in a headlock to get her stop flinging around..

well we didn't want our picture taken with the wrong silks anyway... missed seeing the break - was she off slow??? saw her midpack, angled to the rail maybe she was fighting with mena a bit cause seemed about to throw in the towel - and also seemed from the video more than the usual amount of kick back with the wind today??? hope KNS :{>: comes back safe and sound -

Big thanks to Team Simon, win or lose fully appreciate their efforts !

It looked like she was making up ground in the stretch. I thought she was a cinch for at least 3rd and then it seemed like she just hit the wall around the 1/16 pole.

Made a decent move around the turn into upper stretch. Looked like she was gonna get 3rd but flattened in deep stretch. Passed by two late.
