Steward's Report - April 19, 2026

April 19, 2026

Keeneland Race 7

A Stewards Inquiry was posted involving the stretch run and, in addition, objections were lodged by the trainer (Christopher Davis) and rider of second place #3 “Frosty Indulgence” (Luan Machado) and the rider of third place #6 “Elnajd” (Irad Ortiz, Jr.) alleging interference by the rider of the unofficial winner, #4 “Tre Italiani” (Gerardo Corrales) in the stretch. After reviewing the race replay and interviewing the riders of #3, #4, #6 and fourth place #9 “Tamino” (Jose L. Ortiz), the stewards determined that #4 angled out and caused #6 and #9 to steady and lose momentum. For the interference, #4 was disqualified from first and placed fourth, behind #9.

Official order of finish: 3-6-9-4

Steward's Report - April 18, 2026

Keeneland Race 8

A Stewards Inquiry was posted involving the start of #4 Run Carson" (John Velazquez) who broke awkwardly and well behind the field. After reviewing the race replay and interviewing the starter and rider, the stewards determined that #4 popped the front doors open just prior to the start and was still being held onto by the assistant starter when the field was dispatched. The stewards determined that the horse was precluded from obtaining a fair start. #4 "Run Carson" was declared a NON-STARTER by the stewards and the race was posted official. The mutuels department made the proper refunds.

Safety Report - April 16, 2026

Race 2

#7 Sing for Mo Money was pulled up in the stretch by jockey Alex Achard and attended to by Keeneland’s Equine Safety team. Following initial evaluation, the colt was transported to Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, where further evaluation determined that, due to the extent of his injuries, humane euthanasia was recommended in the best interest of the horse. We express our condolences to owner Friendstable, LLC and trainer John Ennis.
