See the Spinster winners for a quick handle on that. The turf stakes and their winners certainly command appreciation moving forward towards year end awards and BC, but spare us Keeneland's main track racing these days as much more than a sideshow.

And yes, the Keeneland meet will be well covered on ATR..

Well said as usual Steve. Keeneland Synthetic races are a real crap shoot.
