Keeneland Sales Graduates Restless Rider, Elysea’s World Headline Weekend Keeneland Stakes

Keeneland sales graduates Restless Rider, a Grade 1 winner at Keeneland, and multiple Grade 3 winner Elysea’s World (IRE) top fields for the Lexus Raven Run (G2) and Rood & Riddle Dowager (G3), respectively, at Keeneland this weekend.

In her two Keeneland starts, Restless Rider won last fall’s Darley Alcibiades (G1) and this spring was runner-up in the Central Bank Ashland (G1). Also among the Lexus Raven Run entrants is Royal Charlotte, a winner in five of six starts for trainer Chad Brown, including an allowance race at Keeneland in April and the Prioress (G2) at Saratoga in her most recent start.

Elysea’s World comes into the Rood & Riddle Dowager off a third-place finish in the Rodeo Drive (G1) at Santa Anita on Sept. 28. Purchased for $500,000 at the 2018 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, Elysea’s World has won four Grade 3 stakes and placed in nine other graded events.
