Guarana deserving even money fave noting consistently strong efforts. Primary rivals like Sally's Curlin, Mia Mischief, Bell's the One & Amy's Challenge all have races that contend. The interesting price is Wildwood's Beauty (20-1) who hasn't missed an exacta in any of her 13 dirt races for Scott Becker & Bill Stiritz. Seconf off the break while 7/3-4-0 at seven eighths, she enters off an eye-popping :57.3 drill on 7/3. Stalker can chase favorite home and juice exotics a little..

6th: Shakertown (G2), 3+, 5.5f-T (X-C P5/Leg A, All Stakes P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Super Add: #9 Texas Wedge 6-1 10th


7th: Ashland (G1), 3yo-F, 8.5f (P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

If Venetian gets away with easy opening splits, she'll be tough to reel in. Speech and Castellano seek a stalk and pounce trip. Envoutante and Bonny South feel like clunk up exotic candidates..

Next Best: #2 Venetian Harbor 6-5 2nd
Exotics Use: #3 Bonny South 5-1 4th

Several late developing/forward going types involved and a delightful wagering opportunity with the filly (who can obviously win) taking a lot of money. Arky-bred Man in the Can just keeps getting better and Art Collector feels like a horse-of-a-lifetime for thoroughly capable Tom Drury..

Best Value: #5 Man in the Can 10-1 13th
Next Best: #3 Art Collector 5-1 WON ($6.60)
Exotics Use: #7 Swiss Skydiver 3-1 2nd

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.
