PLAY OF THE DAY

Keeneland Race 1

Claiming 25K, 1 Mile 1/16 Dirt

 

5 UP ON THE EDGE 3-1

7 STORY HOUR 9-2

8 SWEET CHABLIS 6-1

2 ASIAN MATRIARCH 7-2

 

PICK: 5 UP ON THE EDGE

Don’t see many Canterbury to Keeneland winners. But this one crushed in both of her dirt starts in Minnesota. If not for the runner-up two back, she would have had 2 double-digit wins there. Trainer has two wins already from five starts at this meet. He has two in the race and seems his top call jock opts here.  Saez rode her in the maiden win in June of 2024.

 

VALUE: 7 STORY HOUR

She was claimed for 50k two years ago and ran 2nd in an allw here in her next start (with Gaffalione riding). She drops to the lowest level of her career for this and stretches out to a distance she won at. That happened to be her last win (was at OP 10 starts ago on a sloppy track). Ran well in 3, 4 back going this distance. Entices a top rider (Gaffalione) to get up.

 

A) 5,7,8       B) 2       C) 3,4,6       D) 1
