Play of the Day
Race Date April 11, 2021
Track Keeneland
Race 9
Overview A solid MSW with a slew of lightly raced, well-bred runners with plenty of upside and potential.
Pace It should be honest, especially with so many lightly raced runners still figuring the game out, and a several firsters entered as well.
Trends It’s tough to see any visible trends on the turf, as they usually just card a few a day (during the week), but for the most part the course can be demanding, and therefore I tend to side with stalker/closers.
Best Bet DANCEFORTHEEMPIRE
Number 4
Morning Line (7-2)
Best Bet Overview #4 DANCEFORTHEEMPIRE (7-2) (turf or dirt): Empire Maker filly was a strong 3rd from the back in her debut at FG for Walsh, who never cranks them, but is a stiff 26% with second-out maidens, which says this is the spot he had in mind all along.
Picks & Plays Aggressive WP bet and a must-use/potential single to end the late Pk5/Pk4 as well.
