Hooves Keeneland Primer. A Few Things To Look For.many On Here Will Not Need Any Of This As They Do Well
On The Poly. This Is An Fyi From My Exp On Playing Keeneland Hope It Helps Some Of The Novice Handicappers.

1. Poly Is Not As Big A Mystery As It May Seem. Ive Found That Horses That Run Well On Dirt Will Run Well On Poly If Not A Horse May Just Not Be 'ready'.
2. Keeneland Is A Locals Track And As Such You Can Find Owner/breeder Combos 'ky Bred' That Are Pointed For The Meet.
3.no Name Trainers. Many Of These Will Pop Up And Bite You As They Are Assistants To Big Name Guys That Are Going Out On There Own .
4. Just Like At Saratoga Getting On 'trends' Early Will Help Your Bank Roll.if A Trainer With Multiple Horses.ie Mcpeek Has Been Pointing
His Horses For This Meet For 6 Months And His Stock Is Tuned Up. Getting On Him Early And Often Is A Smart Move.
5. Jocks ,some Jocks Just Do Not Ride The Poly As Well As Others.look At Victor Lebron,lehandro Gonsolves, Jesus Castinon.these Guys Ride
On Poly More Than Most Of The Big Name Guys And As Such They Read The Track A Bit Better .esp In Claiming Races And Msw.
6. Turf Angle..if You See In The Horses Past Performances That It Closed In The Last Race At Kentucky Downs. Bet It. That Course Is Uphill And The
Horse Should Enjoy A Flat Run This Time..
7.wet Track. = Front Speed
8. Trainers To Follow..david Caroll, Victoria Oliver,phil Simms ,eric Reed,ian Wilkes..merrel Scherer
These Trainers Tend To Bring In Good Prices.
9. Post Positions. On The Main Track It 6f Under I Prefer Middle Post Positions 3-7 At Greater Dist I Tend To Like The Outside.
10. Works. Many Trainers Who Run Here Are Training On The Main Track. If A Horse Has No Work On The Keen Track I Would Pass On Him.
11.prices.. Dont Be Afraid To Bet Horses At Long Odds .in Msw, Claiming. If You Like It Bet It.most Of The On Track Money Is Drunk College Kids..and Fav
Can Be Way Overbet. Westly Ward Will Do One Of Two Things..be Ready Or Have Nothing..so W Him Early.

Thats All I Can Think Of Right Now I Hope This Helps Some Of You.

Going to take a shot at the late Pick 3 with the thesis that favorites have a hard time on the poly in graded races.
