Looking at a longshot in this race.
#3 GREAT WHITE....He's a huge gray (over 1,300 lbs) who has won 2 of 3 @ Turfway & tries dirt for the 1st time. He won at first asking @ 11-1; ran 5th in his 2nd breaking slowly from the 1 hole & won the Bataligia in his last @ 15-1.
He has a nice 4F workout (4th of 40 on that day) & has big, long stride gobbling up the track.
At these odds, he's a nice WPS play.
@Midnight1
Agree to a point. Certainly, a game win in the Battaglia beating a legit colt, yet from here not much of a value play in the Bluegrass.
Appreciate your submissions and talking someone off a 15-1 shot not a worthwhile career path; yet.
Race will scratch down; Pletcher out, Chad going to the wood, seven at most going.
Two of the seven many lengths fast, Danny off the fence off a silly work, "Shark" has work to do, yet a certain freak.
Bottom line Great White will be off at 6,7 to one, OK enough on the win wager, yet the place, show prices will be something "Rum would chase.
@bellsbendboy
"Rum would chase"...never heard that expression. What does it mean?
Great White comes from a small barn & has shown he can come from way back or sit off the pace. I agree any scratches will reduce his odds & I'm not really partial to small fields. As we've seen in the past, a lot can happen between now & post time tomorrow.
KEENELAND RACE 3
It's a good Allowance race for a purse of 120k.
#2 McPeek's wife owns this girl & Brian Hernandez gets back up to ride
#3 Alvarado/Mott won the last race but something happened in her last. Throwing out the trace
#4 ships in from Gulfstream where she was heavily bet & won her last. Irad up
#5 broke her maiden by 5 in her last. Faces tougher here
#6 hung on to win at first asking for Asmussen
#7 has been away 5 months
#8 has been dull
Tri key 2 with 3-6-4
Irad on the GP shipper was much the best winning easily by about 7
My girls didn't fire. #2 was in a good spot on the rail but had nothing when Hernández asked her to go.
Saving my powder for the races to come.
Beautiful sunny day here. Swordfish are being caught about 10 miles offshore but fishing on a Saturday out there is a madhouse. Heineken are chillin, got baseball, basketball & the ponies.
Life is good.
