4/16 Racing

I was capping the weekend card & saw a couple of things to share.

Keenland Race 4 # 6 Vintage Vinyl..throw out his last because he broke in a tangle & never recovered. Trainer Tom Amoss takes James Graham off & puts on bug Rene Diaz which I find surprising since he wins @ 8%. He has shown some speed in his other 2 races & he was the beaten favorite in his 1st try. ML is 15-1 & I think he will try to steal this race on the lead, Also like owner Joel Pilloti /Amoss connection. Also, #8 Under Oath gets a huge jock upgrade to Prat with Pletcher shipping this colt up from Gulfstream where he ran a tiring 3rd.

Keenland Race 5 # 4 Credit Event won at 1st asking @ GP on the Tapeta track but Chad Brown had him working on the turf before shipping him from GP & goes on the turf here. ML is 7/2 & I think he could be a good one.

Keenland Race 7 # 5 Next has trainer Wesley Ward (winning @32%) bringing this gelding over from Turfway where he got a crappy ride in his last when Corrales kept him wide losing all chance to win. Johnny V hops on board here & brought home another 8-1 shot today for Ward. I'd give this guy a look. I also have another one in here in # 9 Basquiat who ships in from Tampa after winning his last try convincingly for trainer Lisa Lewis & owner Peter Brant (he wins at @36%) .ML is 15-1.

Keenland Race 8 #2 Star Devine hasn't raced since August of last year when she won the Galway Stakes @ the SPA with Johnny V coming 7 wide to get up in time. She's been working well & @ 30-1 she's worth a look. 

Keenland Race 9 # 11 Call Me Midnight is a no brainer for me. Broke slowly in his last but expect James Graham to be closing with this boy.

Keenland Race 11 I like 2..#8 Ducale who is working really well & #11 Chocolate Bar with Tyler picking up the mount for trainer Mike Maker.

Tomorrow should be fun!

Opening day at Woodbine also  

#8 Under Oath won convincingly with Flavian Prat hand riding this winner the last 16th.

# 6 Vintage Vinyl broke last & never made a move.

Keenland Race 5 I like #4 Credit Event. He didn't get the lead first time out & sat 4th in a small filed bit at the top of the stretch Tyler took him 3 wide, gave him a couple of taps, pushed the button & was hand ridden to win by 2 but it could have been much more. Early money has bet him down to 5/2. Shug's colt # 6 Limited Liability is a colt out of Kitten's Joy & should love the turf.

# 6 Limited Liability is a colt out of Kitten's Joy & should love the turf. (WOW..CAME FROM DEAD LAST TO WIN BY A HEAD @ 4-1)

#4 Credit Event was stuck down on the rail & when he made to make his move, a wall of colts cut him off & Tyler had to steady him. Tough race but I think Shug's colt was much the best. 

OUCH! I really like that one but in retrospect, this was a much larger field & he didn't have the space to maneuver.

nice call on the 6  

• Khuluq (#2) is entered at Laurel Park, Race 6. (RAN 2ND @6-1; COULDN'T BEAT THE 1-5 CHALK)

That girl was ready to run after that long layoff. The tip to me was Johnny V getting back up on this filly after so long.
