Interesting race for sure. Seems like some horses are tuning up for bigger and better things and some look to be in form and at the right level now.
200+ days off but Casse may think this girl needs longer recovery periods between races? Gaffalione seems to like the turf in KY and this horse can win at this level.
Should take money based on previous graded stakes entries and just OTM finishes. Last win was at this level, at this track, in 2019. Pointed towards other races perhaps and a toss for me.
Geroux gets off this mount since the
drew in. Not in love with the change although this horse seems intended for this level.
Looks like a tuneup race, but Leparoux seems to get along well. Not thrilled about shipping in from Gulfstream as the turf isn't real turfy but recent works look good.
Saez and Keeneland...not much else to say. Horse looks in form. Closing type. Will there be pace to close into?
The European invader...1st lasix...Irad for C. Brown...Judmonte Farms...should be the chalk, right? Three 3f works a week apart followed by four weeks of 4f's, followed by a 2 week break then weekly 5f workouts. Seems very well intended. Lot's of "firsts" though.
The "other" Casse. In form and Gabriel Saez keeps the mount from his recent successes at FG. Recent work out partners with the
Geroux for Brad Cox. Another in form horse but this one busted up the competition in a 50K ALW at FG in late February. Recent form hard to fault. 6/1 with 8 MTP makes this my top selection.
