Going Long on the Turf for Superfecta Sunday

Keeneland Race 5 {1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance}

A nice full field of twelve will go to the gate in this mid-card feature.

Speed numbers are fairly close with a number of entrants hitting the triple-digit mark within their last three. Only four have run over the Keeneland course. Five will stretch out to the distance.
