Raven Run wraps KEE stakes slate

POST-SCRATCHES
5th: MSW, 2yo-F, 7f (P6, P3, DD)
After the 33-1 Forty Acres Wednesday in the MCLM, could McKeever have another live firster in #5 Harkness (12-1)? Harlan’s Holiday filly is the first foal out of talented $700k+ winner Ariana D who was a multiple stakes winner (MSW) that was graded stakes placed (GSP) 7 times including a narrow loss to Musical Romance in the 2012 Madison (G1). 7f a tough first out assignment, but sharp worktab at KEE, including 1:00 5f gate bullet (1/34), says ready. The ones that have started don’t look like they have front end speed, so her zip appeals even though short price types have dominated these Maiden Specials..

More gals on turf in QE II, Pebbles
Keeneland action continues to be very entertaining with excellent wagering opportunities and Friday was more of the same. As suggested when putting out multi grids, ticket-building was a maddening exercise and I failed to reach the juicy $1,190 P4 (.50) despite it being well within reach. Mistake was going 4×2 in the front half when I really liked Goats Town in the 7th and 2×4 was the right approach. Saturday offers another round, while Belmont’s late P4 is anchored by a terrific Pebbles.
I’m at Far Hills today for the biggest event of the steeplechase season and may not be able to do post-SCR changes.. Hope everyone enjoys what should be a fabulous fall afternoon!
