Keeneland Appalachian TURFday

For the first day of our horse racing weekend, Thursday, we take a gander at the Appalachian TURF stakes at beautiful Keeneland.

Keeneland Race 8 {Appalachian~G3~1 mile~TURF~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
A terrific field of nine fillies will make their start in this annual stakes race.  A tiny bit of speed will make this look like a Euro style race with a quickening going into the turn.  It may look like a wall of horses heading to the wire in the stretch.

#1 Day at the Spa (Castellano / C. Brown) looks well prepared with the highest last out speed number at a longer route and four excellent peaking workouts.  She looks to be forwardly places and may get first run on the field.
$2 SHOW.

#8 Regalo Mia (Castanon / Nihei) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and three robust workouts.  She should track the pace and rush the closing group.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#4 Somali Lemonade (Solis / Matz) will be coming off a layoff having run the third highest last out speed number at this distance.  She will challenge this field with a mighty closing run.  The only gal in this field to run over the Keeneland Turf, she has put in three vigorous workouts.

#6 Firehouse Red (Albarado / Jones) looks ready to run a good race with the third highest last out speed number, holding a three race progression, and two speedy workouts.  She should make a swift closing run.

10 CENT Superfecta

#1 Day at the Spa / #8 Regalo Mia / #4 Somali Lemonade / #6 Firehouse Red.



Last Superfecta Sunday (4/15)
Keeneland R7.  We got tripped up in our 10 CENT Superfecta Box effort hitting only two of the four wagering interests.  Superfecta went 2-4-1-10.
Our Bronze Horseshoe runner, Workin' For Hops, finished a dissappointing 6th.
Bankroll plummets to $15.62.
