4/10: Keeneland (3rd-10th)

[Kasept]

Front half of P4 was elusive Thursday with tough-to-find $20 winner from Ian Wilkes in the 7th upsetting the apple cart early. Picked it up in the second half on strength of nightcap winner Bandora who looked unbeatable to me. The Mott firster was pounded down to odds on and ran well, but Ronny Werner's winner was a gift paying an overlaid $8.80 and bringing back $32 in the ($2) DD with stake winer Informed Decision. Hope you did well. Gr. I Maker's Mark Mile today in advance of Saturday's very nice Blue Grass card.

Does anybody know who Gerry Carwood is (besides the trainer of the 10)? Where did he come from? Was he somebody's assistant?

Thanks in advance.

He was an assistant to Eddie Kenneally.

Hello Broadway is overrated but this field is absolutely horrendous.

I have no confidence in him going around two turns, but can't land on any one horse to beat him. I am hoping Garcia sends the 2 and with the wet track....maybe.

Youv'e heard the phrase, follow the money. At Keeneland, it's follow the "Lep"

Overlooked AE ALERT KEE R6! Think the 13 may be able to take them all the way- there is very little pace in here, short stretch, and she's 9-1. Pletcher doesn't scratch out despite the bad post and JV stays on.

I think the whole lot panicked early when they realized the favorite was getting away from them.

I especially liked Edgar putting a dead closer ON THE PACE!! Thanks Edgar!! I hope you don't trip and break your collarbone on the way to the jockey's room!!

Nice call with the #5 Absolutely Cindy in the the 6th, Steve. Made it a nice trifecta!
