7/11: Keeneland (Blue Grass Day)

Good luck Steve.

Race 10, I think it should be 3 & 4 as your top picks, not 2 & 3.

Also, glad to see you have Wildman Jack as a C as I'm not crazy about him and not sure about that morning line. Timeform has said that his most recent race was timed wrong and that his figures are much lower for that race than initially provided. Not saying he can't win but that race is probably not as quite good as it looks.

In fairness, the Pick 5 payout was fairly weak at $360 and Steve should have gotten back $36 in consolation payouts at least.

When I first saw Steve’s grid, I was surprised to see him so deep in the Jenny Wiley and relatively thin in the Shakertown. In hindsight, even though he got beaten by a nose in the Shakertown, that was a reasonable way to approach it. If he nabs the 10 in that race and Jolie Olimpica held on in the Jenny Wiley, probably a much nicer payout than $360. But what can you do? This game is tough.

Edit: I wasn’t looking at the CC or Pick 4. That is definitely tough but still think the strategy would have paid off much more with a little luck.

Also - does Keeneland not have a camera at the finish line? I don’t think I ever saw a photo of that finish.
