A Wonderful Keeneland Sunday

To close out our horse racing weekend we look at a neat allowance race on the Turf at Keeneland.

Keeneland Race 9 {1 1/16~Turf~4 year old Up~Allowance}
A sensible field of eight talented turfers go to the gate in this race.  There doesn't appear to be any overpowering speed, but solid tactical speed.  Half the field is coming off a longer layoff and three of these fire well fresh.  It looks like a very nice competitive race.

#4 Don Cavallo (Castellano / Attfield) has a very slight edge with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a win at this distance, and two superb workouts.  It is likely that he will be motoring on the front end.
$2 SHOW.

#6 Gleam of Hope (Gomez / Stall) looks primed coming off a long layoff with three strong workouts.  Prior to the layoff he had a two race progression and has the third highest overall speed number.  He should be closing well into the pace.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Golden Yank (Theriot / Thomas) should surprise with the highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number, a two race progression, and one hearty workout.  Another that will be closing in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest
#5 Dubious Miss (Borel / McGee) looks ready to tackle this field with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one quality workout.  Might be pressing the pace and get first jump in the stretch.

10 CENT Superfecta
#4 Don Cavallo, #6 Gleam of Hope / #4, #6 / #2 Golden Yank, #5 Dubious Miss / #2, #5.
