How the hell is it closing week at Keeneland already? Only three racing days left and we certainly need to make them count. The turf racing is great today. Let’s Ride.
Race 4: 1 3/16 Mile. (Turf) Alw 120000n1x
#2 Coiled (10/1) – This colt won nicely in his first start as a 3-year-old this year at Turfway. He ran a strong late pace figure, which should translate well to stretching out on the turf. Add a nice inside draw and a red-hot Ben Curtis in the irons, and you’ve got a live 10/1 shot in a wide open race.
Race 6: 1 5/8 Mile (Turf). F.Alw.
#8 Cha Cha Chuka (20/1) – This is a tough ask against this salty field, but the Counductor will key around this filly at a big price. She consistently overcame poor trips this winter at Gulfstream, closing strongly against slow paces and frontrunner flows. Nobody is better than Maker in these distance turf races.
Race 8: 1 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 110k
#1 Indy’s Halo (5/1) – This filly had a no chance trip two back at Gulfstream and then ran a big 2nd last time at Tampa. She was well back behind a tepid pace and showed a strong late kick. Now she draws the rail in her 3rd start off the layoff, and Victoria Oliver runners have been firing at Keeneland. 4/1 or better is fair on Indy’s Halo.
