4/10: Keeneland (Beaumont; P4)
 

Got cuffed around pretty good by AQU and KEE Wednesday, starting OK in NY before the wheels came off. Had trouble finding the range at all in KY, but will press forward needing to find some harmony with the big Blue Grass card looming Saturday. Another nice set of races today at Lexington with the Gr. II Stonerside Beaumont the feature.

Steve - Frisky Rosie caught my eye as a possible wake up candidate returning to sod at AQU (5th). Price should be there, although Donk does look tough if ready. Any thoughts?

Good Luck!

Nice 33 and 2 work for Golden Doc A on Sunday. :eek:

Seems strange she works that fast with her running style.

Certainly perked up when Gary put her on the lawn last fall. She's a half to Pasqualina who I think has done best running on grass. My friend John Magliocco (Arrow Linen in Brooklyn) owns, and would love to see her run well, but.. favorites looked tough at first glance Stormy Catch and Ambidaxtrous (half to SW Celtic Sky)...

Dam of Sage Chapel (Elhasna) is the full sister of Dayjur making her half to the great Maplejinsky (Alabama; d. of Sky Beauty), and TX sire Gold Legend (Heritage of Gold, Gold Coyote)...

Also on a pedigree aside, Regally Jen is the sister of Galloping Grocer!


Good luck!

Any thoughts on the #3 Be Envied 12-1 in the 9th coming in off the shelf? Looks like she has been facing better...

Root,

Tough call on her and Almonsoon too. I passed on the 6 mo. layup returnees in favor of recency myself, but certainly either make sense if ready to run. Frankly, if 12-1+ is the interest, that 'You Dancing Devil' has some appeal. Has also seen some tough mares and is always within a couple lengths at the end...

thank you Steve!

Thanks! I always like looking this time of year for the Turf type that have been relegated to Inner for winter. Agree a tough crowd. Maybe catch some value using in 2nd slot...

Faves were indeed the call with Ambidax a gift at $11+.. Stormy Catch 2nd.. Exacta $28+..

Yup. $28 not bad for those two. Lucky for me I got busy at work...

That a baby Byk, had to pay real good with that last race winner

Great hit Steve!!!

WHOA, $2500 per $1, hope you played this one.....

Thanks Steve
 

I hit the Late Daily Double with your picks

Thanks bro.

Happy for you Steve but damn it sure looked like my 2 got bounced around in the early stretch in that last one.....must be my old eyes!!!

Upon further review of replay I think the "2" actually initiated the contact.
Earlier in the day there was more contact in the 3rd I thought should have come down but no blood no foul there either.....damn can't catch a break today..Oh Well!!

Nice!

Mama I'm Home - Great Pick - she was home alright.

Thanks Steve

Nice one Steve.

I couldn't come up with the nightcap winner.

Yummy!!!!!!!!!
 

Had the Late Pick 3 with you Steve.................love it!!!!! Thanks Much!!!!!

Thanks all.. Was a fun day. Especially pleased so many made use of the good day!
