The Grade 1 Aristocrat Franklin-Simpson Stakes
It feels like everyone loves betting on Kentucky Downs racing. After all, why not? They have big quality fields, only turf racing, nice pools, good handle and plenty of large payoffs. I find it a very challenging track, but I will indulge. I call it Kentucky “play at your own risk” Downs. Uphill, downhill, shippers galore, plenty can happen. That curve in the stretch just when you think you are home or finished adds to
Key Races & Bets for Saturday September 7th, 2024
Music City Stakes – Race 7 at Kentucky Downs – Post Time 4:04 PM Eastern
Win Contenders: Pounce, Time to Dazzle
Exacta/Trifecta contenders: Kairyu, Buttercream Babe, Simply In Front, Vive Veuve, Twirling Queen and Toupie.
Pounce and Time to Dazzle both have about the same fairly high probability to win this race. Both are trained by an excellent trainer in Mark Casse and both won their most recent races, which were grade 3 stakes at the distance of one mile. Pounce rallied four paths wide into the stretch and put in a very strong finish to go from fourth to draw off late under jockey Dylan Davis, who rides her back.
Key Races & Bets for Saturday August 31st, 2024
Nashville Derby – Race 8 at Kentucky Downs – Post Time 5:16 PM Eastern
Win Contenders: Cameo Performance, Abrumar, Carson’s Run, Cugino
Other contenders: White Palomino, Bellum Justum
Cameo Performance and Abrumar finished first and second, respectively, in the prep stakes for this race at Ellis Park four weeks ago, with Cameo Performance out fishing Abrumar in the final 16th of a mile after Abrumar got a length and one-half lead. Their starting odds of 12 to 1 and 15 to 1 are ridiculously high based on those efforts and I could easily see them finishing first and second once again.
The Grade 2 Ladies Turf Sprint, When a Sprint is not a Sprint
I don’t know about you, but I have a hard time calling any race at Kentucky Downs a sprint. I don’t care if it is 4 furlongs, over that course to me nothing is a sprint. That includes The Grade 2 Ladies Turf Sprint to be run on Saturday. A nice cool mil purse drew a field of 9 to race six and a half furlongs through the meadows and over the hills about 35
Key Races & Bets for Saturday September 9th, 2023
Franklin-Simpson Stakes – Race 8 at Kentucky Downs – Post Time 4:40 PM Eastern Analysis and main contenders: Playlist was entered (as an also-eligible) in last week’s Music City Stakes, for fillies only, and shows up here against males as a horse having won three races in a row. The last two were versus three year olds and up and this race is restricted to just three year olds so although it appears she’s stepping
