The Juvenile Day keeps going:
Friday 11-6-20 Keeneland Race 7: Grade 1 Juvenile Turf 1 mile Turf: 2 year old:
1. SEALIWAY 20-1 is the first of the European invaders, winning a Grade 1 in France last time out. A bit of a class test, but he's got class. Also some speed.
2. NEW MANDATE 15-1 is a British invader who won his last three races, the last one a Grade 2.
3. ABARTA 6-1 is lightly race. This is only his third lifetime start. He was second in the Grade 2 Bourbon at Keeneland last time. Trainer Brad Cox has been superb the past four years or so. He had a good forward move at Ellis Park on the turf, to win his maiden, on a day when the track wasn't as hard and fast as usual.
4. PUBLIC SECTOR 15-1 ran second in a Grade 2 last time. This is his third lifetime start. Trainer Chad Brown has been more impressive than even Baffert the past five years or so, but has tailed off. Hard to say.
5. CADILLAC 3-1 is the class and a British invader. Ran fifth in a Grade 1 last time out, but won a Grade 2 the race before, in Ireland.
6. MUTASAABEQ 9-2 is Todd Pletcher's entry, and looks very good on paper, winning the Grade 2 Bourbon last out at Keeneland, and doing it the hard way, coming from far back. Often, these kind bounce and don't get the trip. Still, must be respected.
7. FIRE AT WILL 8-1 comes off a good win in a Grade 2 on a slower than usual track, so his feet shouldn't be sore. Trainer Michael Maker had been underachieving till about a year or two ago. On form, he looks pretty good.
8. OUTADORE 15-1 is undefeated in two starts for Wesley Ward. He gets lots of purse class from his Kentucky Downs win, so this is a bit of a class test. he has early speed and rises in class, which means he'll likely have lots of company trying to wear him down..
9. BATTLEGROUND 20-1 is the entry from O'Brien, who usually has an entry. He's only had three races in his life, so he should be fresher than most. He won his last race, a Grade 2. Figures to be one of the better British invaders, but who knows for sure?
10. EBEKO 12-1 might get bet down since trainer Peter Miller wiped his butt with the other trainers in last year's Breeder's Cup. He just wiped everyone else out, to the amazement of the world. He put himself on the radar for a while. This one just won an ungraded stakes out West, and was in Ireland, where Cadillac beat him, but that was before Miller trained him.
11. GRETZKY THE GREAT 10-1 is Mark Casse's runner. Casse is an "all or bust" sort, whose horses usually either run super or out. This one has fast times at Woodbine, winning his last three races there. He has early speed.
12. GO ATHLETICO 15-1 ran second in a Grade 2 in France last time out. Lightly raced, not much class in terms of money purses. He could change that.
13. DEVILWALA 15-1 British invader is lightly race. Three of his four starts are Grade 1 and 2 in Great Britain, sporting a second, then seventh, then fourth place finish. He has been running with early speed.
14. THE LIR JET 20-1 Of the British invasion, he comes off of four races, all Grade 1 and 2, winning the first one, but going downhill afterwards. He is one of the best bred ones here for turf. Trainer Michael Bell is a veteran.
15. BARRISTER TOM AE Got his class from the big purses at Kentucky Downs, where he won a bit pot on turf at a mile. Ran 8th in following race at Keeneland, so he is a long shot
16. HARLAN ESTATE AE-Should this long shot draw in, he is untested for class, has decent pedigree, and would be usable on a long shot basis. Just broke his maiden at Santa Anita, so you would just be gambling on how good he can get
STYXPIX:
10. EBEKO
5. Cadillac
11. Gretzky the Great, but not to run third. Either to win or bust
