It has been a super meeting so far for followers of this space with a nice chunk of winners and an even bigger slice of the place pie. Let’s keep it up Wednesday, especially with all the Keeneland Handicapping Contest players headed out to the track.

3rd) IMPLICATE drops into a great spot here off a competitive second-place finish versus a similar field at Delaware Park. Trainer Victoria Oliver likes to win at Keeneland, her home track, and usually places her horses aggressively in Lexington.

4th) Distorted Humor is a very good Polytrack sire. His daughter, ITS ABOUT MIDNIGHT, debuts at Keeneland after posting two excellent workouts over the main track. If jockey James Graham can work out a good trip from the inside, she could post a mild upset.

6th) DECEIVE owns the best speed numbers and her sire Tiznow gets lots of winners on the Poly. The Hall of Fame connections of trainer Shug McGaughey and jockey Kent Desormeaux don’t hurt either. Take the short price.
