Enjoy Fall Stars Saturday at Keeneland!

#7 Mayfield is a horse that got bet on debut and didn't have the cleanest beginnings and really lost all chance leaving the starting gate. Certainly looks like there's way more ability than what was shown in his first career race based on his workouts leading into this start to kick off the Saturday card.

#4 Never Sleep exits a live race in which he was beaten by an eventual stakes winner at Kentucky Downs, How’s Al Today. That was on turf and this colt is one for one on dirt, which he will be competing on this afternoon.
7-5-11
#7 Winning Streep has run a lot more seconds and thirds than she's one but at least she's been competitive throughout her career and the fact they're changing things up and trying her going the longest distance that she's ever seen think is a positive. She's gonna have to time it right as far as making the lead if she's able to in the ladder stages, she should be right there in the end.

#2 Floodlites was able to rattle off three consecutive victories beginning in the fall of last year through the spring here at Keeneland, and in his most recent start caught a very Stout group of runners on an off track at Churchill Downs and was beaten by a horse named, Harrodsburg, who loves sloppy tracks. So don't hold that race against him. He's back to a course here at Keeneland where he is undefeated in two career starts.

#10 Who Dey has a lot of class and is running in some very difficult competition throughout his career, they've never talked to anybody with this Ohio bred, son of, Liam’s Map. I know Means is this an easy race, but I think he builds off of his most recent defeat given that he was coming into that race at the beginning of August off of a bit of a layoff and the long stretch here Keeneland should suit him.
8-5-10
#8 My Boy Prince has been such a neat horse throughout his career and over the last couple of seasons this Ontario bred has found that these more than capable of hanging in great stakes races here in the United States. It's gonna be plenty of speed for him to Lague just off of and he did win the Grade 2 Shakertown Stakes in the spring time at the same distance. I think he gets a very similar opportunity and set up today.
4-6-7
#4 Evanescence certainly does have to step up to a plate and put together most likely the best race over career, but I thought her last race was pretty solid given. She moved into a quick pace and then just sort of flattened out hopefully she's able to make the last move in a race filled with a ton of class as you would expect in a Grade 2 event here at Keeneland.
2-4-8
#2 Lush Lips won the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup in the fall of last year here and then proceeded to pick off a couple of more graded stakes victories thereafter. She then was freshened up and came back at Ellis Park where she was a bit fresh out on the front end in the early stages of that race by no means what I call it ranked but she was certainly feeling good and just was caught late in that race. I think today she's able to track off the pace and get back to her winning ways.
2-1-6
#2 Q B Rocket was impressive in his first career start and beat two next out winners in that race. The breeding is there for the two turn test this afternoon and he's gonna have to bring it considering how good #1 Coach Pope looked in his most recent start.
7-3-9
#7 Lake Forest travels to the United States for the first time and in his native Great Britain he's come close in G1 races but yet to breakthrough. He's made over $4.6 million throughout his career, running in high-level events in his most recent start at York he was 2nd to who is likely to be the favorite for the Breeders’ Cup Mile, Notable Speech. I think he's ripe for a grade 1 victory today versus some of our best milers on turf.
5-10-3
#5 Stars in My Eyes is a horse I'll take a shot with in the Saturday nightcap in a race that is incredibly difficult to have a strong opinion about anyone. Trainer Bret Calhoun does not ride jockey Jose Ortiz all that often but he gets him here on this first time starter and is minuscule of an angle as that is that's what I'm rolling with here in the final race at Keeneland on Fall Stars Saturday.
