Kind of an in and out afternoon Saturday at Belmont and Keeneland with the ‘ins’ coming at New York and ‘outs’ at Kentucky. Couldn’t get lucky in the Belmont P4, but $200 straight triple in the Jamaica with $16.00 Western Aristocrat on top, and a couple $65+ P3’s kept the ball in the air as the day wore on. After a good day at Keeneland for Friday’s opener, it was more of a struggle Saturday, but as discussed on ATR this week, that’s the nature of the poly main track racing there.

Top human stories from Saturday were the individual riding efforts of Corey Nakatani (6 wins in 7 mounts tying BEL record) and Julien Leparoux (4 wins after 4 Friday), and Mrs and Mrs. Ramsey winning their 2nd and 3rd stakes of the weekend in the HAW Gold Cup (Headache) and TCA (Holiday for Kitten) after Friday’s Alcibiades (Stephanie’s Kitten).

On the four legged front, Gio Ponti continued to add to his Hall of Fame resume with a second facile Shadwell Mile score, and My Miss Aurelia was brilliant running Frizette foes off their feet. While certainly not as august a performer, Never Retreat is becoming kind of a female version of Gio Ponti and was incredible capturing her first G1 in the First Lady.

Hope everyone did well Saturday.. More good racing Sunday including an $81k P5 carryover at Keeneland!

Took a sound beating at Belmont Thursday as poor decisions and jump up winners quashed virtually every attempt. The day’s key price ideas — Roses for the Star, Eternal Ruler and Scootles — all ran decent races, but invariably fell short or were overhauled to finish 3rd, 3rd and 2nd respectively. P6 carried for another day to reach $103k, but opening card at Keeneland draws my primary attention. As if alluring scenarios at New York and Kentucky weren’t enough, Santa Anita carried Thursday, and that we can score some on the challenging Keeneland opening slate to go into the big holiday weekend on the uptick!

Big Super Saturday lineup of racing with NY, IN and CA the venues under the microscope. Weather for Belmont card an exasperating frustration, but we may muddle through OK with heaviest rain ending by morning. Turf will certainly be soft-yielding, anddoubt the non-stakes are contested on the inner or Widener. Despite scratches of Big Drama (Vos) and Sangaree (Kelso), there are more than enough stars and key matchups to keep the action compelling. At Hoosier, Shackleford and Caleb’s Posse are confronted by legit up and comers in Wilburn and Populist Politics in the Indiana Derby, while at Philly, Plum Pretty looks to take it to It’s Tricky in the rich Cotillion. The second day of the Santa Anita Autumn Meet delivers a $60k carryover, an added bonus on what looks like the best action of the day top to bottom highlighted by the 4 G1 events. At Laurel, the Jim McKay Maryland Million slate came up predictably contentious. Hope you’re ready for a great day, and weekend, of action! Bob Baffert and David Fawkes join Seth Merrow and I on Capital OTB TV-12’s “Loose on the Lead” 9-10a…
