Keeneland Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
SAGAMORE (2) 2yo first starter sired by Upstart for trainer Ian R Wilkes and has a good draw. Watch for a sign in the market. BOLD SPEAKER (11) Ran 4th last start at Kentucky Downs. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Definite claims. RIVELLI (7) Moved ahead of some to finish 4th last time at Kentucky Downs. Jareth Loveberry and Larry RIVELLI are a proven combination. Has a nice turn of foot. Has to be strongly considered. MIDWAY GOLD (3) Michel Douaihy trained 2yo first starter by Maximus Mischief. Market as guide.

Started $9.00 and edged past some when finishing 4th last time at Kentucky Downs. Jockey Jareth Loveberry and trainer Larry Rivelli work well together. Will be hitting the line strongly. Definite claims for punters.

First run back from break. Peaked on the run when 4th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis. The wide draw shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
