Keeneland Race 1 - 10 4/6/07
 

Ward seems to win every two year race there is in 2007. The 2 horse is a filly. The girls seem to mature faster than the boys so I think she gets an edge here. I also like the 1 horse, 8 horse (love that name since his daddy is whywhywhy) and the 5 horse I think Biacone will have a HUGE meet.

Going to start of slow here.

Pretty darn impressive right there by the 2 horse. Ward is on a roll from coast to coast with his 2 year olds right now.

I can't remember the last time i saw a group of young 2YO's load that quietly...

You know good point. They were so well behaved. I didnt even notice that to be honest. The race seemed to run professionally as well. Good looking group.

nice call BTW.:)

Thanks. Seeing the 2 on the track seeled it for me. She looked wonderful. I had it narrowed down to the 2 and the 8. But the 2 stood out so much that I had to choose her on top. We will try to keep it going in race 2.

Race 2 - WOW, huge scratch with the 5 horse. Cant believe they forgot to give the horse lasix. Anyway, with the scratch of the 5, it really looks good for the 2 horse. Ward prob will take the early double. Cant see too much else in here that can beat this 2. The 7 horse would be the most logical. Not much value in my top picks. I rarely bet a trifecta but I am going to play on in this race.

Reason why I do not bet tri's. The 6 horse surprised me a little. I thought the 7 would get the lead and the 2 would get the stalking trip. Nice run by the 8 horse if he survives the photo.

who won?

The 8 horse won.

Race 3. Well Golden Attraction looks tough here. But I really like the 10 horse. I think the Maggie Moss and Amoss combo is very nice. My longhost is going to be the 7 horse.

Nice ride by Julian. I should listen to the woman who won that iPOD. She is on fire. She hit the tri in the first and had the winner in the 3rd.

I'm tellin' ya, that last furlong is death on the speed. In all three races, it's been almost a totally different trifecta at the 1/8th pole than it ended up being at the wire.

You are correct and very good analysis. Seems like when the leaders hit the top of the stretch they hit a brick wall.

Got to love turf racing at Keeneland. This is a good field. Very well matched and intriguing. The 11 horse is the kind of horse I like. He should be running late. I like Phipps on the grass. I also like the 8 horse. I like Pulpits on the grass at Keeneland. My lonhshot is the 3.

Going 1-5 ex box

Nice call.

Beautiful - great hit on that one. Keep it rolling.

Down a little so far day. Estimated amount -$336.00. But there is time to try to get in the positive.

Race 5 is interesting. Biacone and Julian on the big fav. Tons to like with this one. Even money right now so I will try to find some value.
