No Georgie Boy...
for the Commonwealth. Kathy Walsh stayed true to form. But she did miss out on the easy picking Grade 2 at SA last weekend. Which was won by a horse who ran for a 50K claiming tag last out - and was 7/1 odds in that claiming race in his last start.
Back to Kee .... Post time favorites have run there record to an impressive 5-for-45 in all synthetic track Graded Stake races ever run at Keeneland. It was 5-for-43 coming into this meet ... and so far in the two Graded Stake races .... 3/5 favorite Stardom Bound was a terrible 3rd and 3/5 favorite Evita Argenita was a horrible 4th. The Ashland winner paid $50 - the Beaumont winner paid $35 in a six horse field. The mighty Ventura gets her chance to take a crack at it as a likely odds-on favorite in the Madison today. |

They are using the Tiznow as a prep for the Met Mile instead. Makes a lot more sense to only ship once.

With the sprint division as bad as it is out West...and the BC being there again this year...
Does it really make sense to ship at all? |

True enough I guess. He makes the Met a more interesting race for sure .. even though it's pretty interesting as it is.

He's a gelding so it's about money. The SoCal races are one berry patch after another but the purses are horrendous.
Kathy Walsh looks like she'd fit in at Belmont without a problem. NT |

If it was just about shipping for money .. they'd hit the 300K Lone Star Mile and the 400K Lone Star Cap at 8.5f's the same day as the Met Mile and five weeks after the LS Mile.
I think those two races will probably look like the Oaklawn Park Handicap looked .. and perhaps both minus Itsabird |

Hard not to like a horse like Finallymadeit. In all seriousness, he'll probably run 10 times at Calder this summer.
