BY JUDE T. FELD Mike Penna and I will be hosting LEXUS, the sponsors of our popular “Equine Forum” radio show, at Keeneland this afternoon as they also sponsor the Raven Run (G2) at the Lexington track. Here is a copy of the selection sheet that the guests will receive: 1st Race) AUSTONS SURE CURE […]

By Jude T. Feld 4th Race) EJAY has competitive speed figures, a recent bullet workout, comes out of a route prep at Turfway Park and takes the all-important drop from Maiden Special Weight races into a maiden claimer. She should be ultra-tough today. 6th Race) Never out of the money, BRILLIANT FUTURE is on an […]

By Jude T. Feld 2nd Race) LEE CHAPEL has been rushed to vie for the lead in his recent starts. His lone victory came when he was allowed to settle and make a big run. Trainer Ian Wilkes switches to patient jockey Julien Leparoux this afternoon and that will make a big diffence to this […]

By Jude T. Feld Rain is forcast for the next couple of days, so turf racing will be a little sketchy. There is an 80% chance of rain today. It has been my experience that horses who run well in the mud also excell on wet Polytrack. 1st Race) GRAND ILLUMINATION drops into the maiden […]

By ROBERT KIECKHEFER UPI Racing Writer Now that Frankel has destroyed everything lined up against him in England, it appears he is done for the year. With nine wins from nine starts after his dominating victory in Saturday’s Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot, the 3-year-old Galileo colt certainly deserves the rest. And […]

By Jude T. Feld 1st Race) OFFICER MOO LA MOO has improved his Beyer speed figures in every race of his career. He sports the famous “blinkers on – fast work” pattern as well, making another move forward inevitable. Love the 12-1 morning line too! 3rd Race) BET TO WIN was scratched from a race […]

By Jude T. Feld 1st Race) MY ISLAND GIRL is on an improving pattern and drops into a nice spot off a solid win at Presque Isle Downs. Her 4-1 morning line price looks rather juicy. 5th Race) RED ALL OVER has shown excellent ability in his two lifetime starts. He gets a good post […]

By Jude T. Feld 1st Race) New Zealand-bred XPECTATION showed a liking for Polytrack in her two starts at Arlington Park. She has a tremendous edge in speed figures and is dropping to the lowest level of her career for this race. It all adds up to a top effort. 3rd Race) Regally-bred MEDIA FIRE […]

By Jude T. Feld 1st Race) Claiming genius Tom Amoss saddles QUICK DELIVERY, who he haltered for $18,000 at Arlington Park. He wins 30% of the time with his recent acquisitions and nearly 40% of the time when Julien Leparoux rides for him. 3rd Race) TAKE HEART makes his racing debut with some solid Keeneland […]

By Jude T. Feld 3rd race) Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard sends out LOVELY STAY in this rather weak maiden allowance event. She seems to have a decided edge in speed figures and has yet to finish out of the money in three starts -all on the synthetic track at Presque Isle Downs. 4th […]
