going to Keeneland for the weekend. Anyone have any thoughts on the race. BDW - any tips??

I know this doesn't help with the Ashland, but we have two horses we'll be entering for Saturday at Keeneland: Cherokee Speed (an older turf horse who's starting his year off) and Much Rejoicing (our 3yo filly who won her debut in February). We have pretty high hopes, especially for the latter, so figured I'd at least throw those out there.

Good luck at Keeneland!

Good luck! I'll look for them both.

We shipped a filly into Keeneland last week but now it looks like she's going to need a little more time before she's ready to run. At least we get the fun of watching her train in the morning.

If you're there until the 8th, my filly should be racing then (NX1/2L going a mile on the green)... hope we get in!

Thanks, LB, if you end up running, definitely post about it so we can cheer her on! And good luck to you Daisy!

This will actually be my first time setting foot at Keeneland Racetrack. I've been to the sales grounds a bunch of times but never seen a race. I'm really looking forward to it!

We're in the 7th and 10th and I think we should have a say in each looking at the early form. The big question with Much Rejoicing will be the surface switch though the grass on the bottom of her pedigree should help.

Good luck to all on Saturday!

Good luck Justin; gotta say - I'm glad you put Much Rejoicing in on Saturday rather than Thursday (one less horse to worry about for me - lol!)

Excellent field. Should offer some betting value.
I'm leaning toward Catalano over Motion in exotics.

where are the entries?

nevermind i found them

ui don't like the jock change on she be wild. jock had to chose between her and awesome act.. not a tough choice hoenstly. not a fan of the jockey to be totally honest.

honestly this is one of those races you just watch. too many unknowns and alot of question marks

if i were playing just to play i'd give protesting a long hard look

Thank you all. Justinnich, I'll put some money on your horses for luck! BDW - thanks for the advice.

MUCH REJOICING just won the 7th race at Keeneland. Congratulations justinnich!

At the track now and on cloud nine...this looks like a serious filly! Easy pick 4 bet today of our horse in the 7th, all, all, and our horse in the 10th so here's hoping on that one haha.

And thanks LB!
