Default Keeneland Opening Day, THOUGHTS...
R2- Marks the return of a few nice horses Hull should have the edge with a huge win over synthetics.

R8-Krypton

R9-Macias should be able to rate right off 2 others and get first jump on Clement, might get a price with Clement and Romans looking strong.

Just based on the entries that has to be one of the worst Keeneland spring opening days ever.

I already scanned the PPS, its really bad. The maiden races seem to lack that Keeneland feel, you know the big pedigrees....

Yeah, the BIG pedigrees do a lot for my win %.

Nice to see the 4.5F races are back. Then again, WO leads off with one as well. Time to rewrite some code.

Well I think ROI is all that matter and Wes Ward will be about 4-5 in there and Steve will be about 9-5, so I doubt your making much in that spot.

I know that. I just think that anything < 5F or > 12F really has no place in racing today.

I wonder if the Wesley Ward Woodbine invasion is only for the two weeks or so where all they run are 4.5-5f races. Those are his speed.

Castanon is there also which I thought was weird. 70k maidens and the canada/us exchange is even. Pretty serious pots up there

The 5F races at WO are about as close as it gets to a bias up there, typically favoring speed (or the chaser). If I were Ward, I'd have a string up there, as well as at MTH. Of course, a 'bias' at WO shouldn't be confused with what happens at MTH or AQU inner (or even GP); you have to earn it up there.

Thats funny... I wont be betting the second. I just said Hull should be tough, I never liked Hull.

Krypton and Macias will not be chalk, how do they not bet Clement to chalk in the turf race?

Who's gonna be the favorite in Krypton's race then, if not him?

And Macias will be second choice at best. Baffert gets pounded whenever he ships east and the horse has the best BSF in the field.

I think Krypton is definitely going to be favored and I think Macias is highly likely to be favored.

I guess he has to be chalk, the group is shitty.
