I'm probably reaching a lot here, but I'm going to bet a few dollars on Forest Legend in the Alcibiades. Before her win last out, Vicki Oliver was just 2 for 45 with firsters over the last five years and 1 for 18 with 2 year old firsters.
I guess that explains why she went off at those odds last time, because she is really bred well for the grass. That isn't a redboard, I didn't bet her, but her dam could really run and she's a half to recent Ballston Spa runnerup Silver Reunion. I think this one can run a bit.
There is decent amount of speed in here and this race has seen it's fair share of surprise winners, since it's been run on poly. Oliver is 33% in the money going turf to poly at Keeneland and Keeneland is her home track. I'm going to bet her to win and then underneath Harlan's Ruby, Jordy Y and Wonderlandbynight in exactas.
