We had six winners and nine placers in 13 selections over Fallstars weekend. Hopefully the wallets will get fatter this week too.
If you are headed to Keeneland, don’t forget to play in the $2,500-guaranteed handicapping contest. It’s 10 bucks to get in and 100% of the entry fees are returned to the top 10 finishers as prizes. The top 10 also qualify for Keeneland’s Tournament of Champions with two berths to the $1,000,000 Coast Casinos World Series of Handicapping up for grabs.
1st) Lots of things to like about NO ORDNARY COWGIRL – She’s dropping from maiden special weights into a $40,000 maiden claimer, her sire Pure Prize sports nine Keeneland Polytrack winners (five of them routers), she prepped going long and she adds blinkers.
2nd) MISH MOSH looks like a “free†bingo square – Best Beyer, new low class and Hall of Fame connections.
4th) Sharp trainer Jevon Crumley runs horses all over the place so if he brings one to Keeneland, it must be good. ROSE MEDALLION has won 10 of her 27 starts, likes synthetics and posted a “best of the morning†blowout at Thistledown for this race.
5th) RUN A BUCK broke his maiden at Keeneland and then went on vacation. Returned to the racing wars on September 18, he got pinched at the break but managed a nice four-wide rally. In for a tag today, he looks very live with longshot jockey Jesse Campbell aloft.
