Long on the Turf for Superfecta Sunday

We stay on at Keeneland for a competitive classic distance route on the Turf.

Keeneland Race 5 {1 1/2 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Allowance}

A splendid field of eleven will go to the grass in this mid-card feature. It comes up a little light on speed which should create a magnificent quickening coming into the stretch. Speed figs are very close with most of the field stretching out to this distance for the first time. It should be a fine wagering race for the Superfecta player.

#5 Headline News (J. Ortiz / Toner) comes in from Gulfstream with the highest last out speed number and two high octane workouts. He is the deserved favorite. This guy loves the Turf and will try the Keeneland course for the first time. He should track and strike in the stretch. A son of Curlin, he is 50% in the money from six starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#11 Verbal (Gaffalione / B. Walsh) will challenge as he stretches out to this distance. He holds the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and two sound workouts. This gelding should track the pace closely seeking first jump on the trackers. A son of Flintshire [GB], he is 50% in the money from ten starts.

#1 Siz Minus (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) is another serious challenger with the third highest last out speed number and one true workout. He loves the Turf and distance. It will be his second effort over the Keeneland course. This gelding will track and close well. A son of English Channel, he is 47% in the money from nineteen starts.

#7 Utah Beach (Rosario / Correas) is another contender with a win at this distance. He has hit the board in his last three producing good speed figs. Four hearty workouts add well to his preparation. Look for him to track the pace closely. Another son of English Channel, he is 100% in the money from six starts.
