3yo's: Keeneland opener features 10 going 7f..

[Betsy]

I made trip to OTB to see Crossbow and the race played out like I thought it would. I wasn't in love with the idea of another speed duel, but with Sovereign Default in the race, that was inevitable. SD is fast and had the 1 whole and so neither colt could afford to let the other get away. It was a ding dong race all the way around. Both ran very well -and SD was very game. I think they got somewhat leg weary........the time was a second slower than nice older mares went. I read on Derby Contenders twitter that McLaughlin is considering the Hutcheson or Swale for Crossbow -or potentially taking him elsewhere to stretch out.
