4/16 (KEE): G1 Blue Grass, G2 Wiley/Commonwealth, G3 Shakertown

Keeneland needs to cut the Commonwealth loose. For the 2nd year in a row its a 5 horse race with a poor field. It's too close to the Carter to compete for dirt horses.

Otherwise, looks like a fun card.

Why? You don't see a need for a place to run for the high quality synth horses that wouldn't stand a chance in the Carter??

I'd find a stretch battle between Aikenite and Taqarub riveting.

I'm also anxious to see if Charles Lopresti can prove this year that he's not just a newer version of John Ward. His horses never run, they got good for about two months and then poof, they were all gone.

I wonder if they will keep Aikenite sprinting this year.

Of course, if he runs well they'll probably try the Met Mile next. Or the Sword Dancer.

Wasn't Data Link pointing to the Blue Grass?

Minor issue. He is out

I really like Brilliant Speed in here. Any chance that he drifts out to 8-1 - 10-1 range.

Doesn't look like the people with the high quality synth horses do.
