Here is our analysis for Saturday's Blue Grass Stakes (Race 9 at Keeneland):
#3 Theregoesjojo (ML 7/2) checked at a crucial moment at the top of the stretch in last, may have been closer. Calvin Borel is one of the best hands on a closer.
#8 General Quarters (ML 15/1) is a question mark on the Polytrack, but shows a very sharp workout for this. Was steadied in the Tampa Bay Derby behind Musket Man.
#9 Charitable Man (ML 4/1), laid off for 210 days as a result of a serious injury, looks completely healed, sporting a bunch of very sharp workouts. Judging by his pedigree, this son of Lemon Drop Kid (winner of the 1999 Belmont Stakes) should run all day.
#10 Hold Me Back (ML 3/1) will be another overbet favorite. The only time he met quality runners was in the Remsen, where he ran a distant fifth to Old Fashioned.
