A graduate of Arizona State University’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Scott has covered horse racing since 2004, first at HRTV and later with TVG. He has been part the broadcast team coverage of the Triple Crown, Dubai World Cup (G1) and Royal Ascot. His father Richard Hazelton won more than 4,700 races during a training career that spanned over 60 years.
Welcoming to the start of closing week at Keeneland. We're down to the final 3 days of racing in the spring for 2026.

#2 Get Her Number was a Grade 1 winner at the age of 2 at Santa Anita, that was 6 years ago, but since he has moved to Trainer, Robertino Diodoro's barn he is right off three Windsor in a row and he has found his level in the starter type conditions. When you've got horses with back class and they get good you've gotta stick with them and that's what I'm doing here in the opening race on this Wednesday.

#10 Express Success is a well bred runner for Winchell Thoroughbreds and Trainer, Steve Asmussen, there was a half-sister to two stakes winners, Nitrous and Speedometer. Steve Asmussen doesn't run a lot of two-year-olds at Keeneland but you gotta respect him because he always has a good spring when it comes to two year-old races over at Churchill Downs and the fact that he's running this horse here is an encouraging sign.
3-7-1
#3 Don’t Say It is aiming to go back to back in her career and she's been put in the right spot in a non-condition $25,000 claimer after winning a non winners of 3 races $30k claimer. She's in good form and she catches the right group to go back to back.
8-5-1
#8 Lazlo trained by Mike Maker and he is the master of a mile and a half turf races. And turning horses, their former claimers into really nice allowance and stakes horses and these long distance turf races. His most recent start was at a mile and a half on the synthetic track of Turfway Park and it was a good second.
1-2-3
#1 Editor showed improvements running on dirt for the first time in just the second start of his career and he's being dropped way down in class here this afternoon. A replication of his most recent start on March 16 is good enough to handle this group of runners.
7-8-1
#7 Paynt Ya Later has run two giant races since moving onto the turf course in her last two starts. Even though it's been a while, you've got to think that she's ready to roll to justify running in this stakes caliber type of allowance race here at Keeneland race course. I think the price should be right and she's worth a gamble here at Keeneland in race number six.
5-6-3
#5 Beyond Belief comes out of back to back grade at stakes races down in South Florida, where she could not run with the race Day medication lasix but she's back in allowance company and able to race with lasix so combine that angle with the fact that she's dropping in class I think she'll be tough in here with Luis Saez, jumping into the saddle.
4-10-3
#4 Go for Rocket ran much better in his three-year-old debut than his two starts at 2 years old and I think they had a distance will be a place for him this afternoon stretching out to a mile and an eighth. Not to mention, he improved with the addition of lasix in his last race which he runs with again here today
