Keeneland | Race 2 | 1:32 pm ET
#1 Snipsnippitysnip (10-1 morning line odds) had a terrible post position last time when wide and now draws the rail for an expected improved effort. Independently, trainer Brendan Walsh and jockey Jose Ortiz are having strong Keeneland meets and make a rare pairing. The Gulfstream-prepped horses historically dominate this category of Keeneland turf maiden races.
Win-place bet #1.
Keeneland | Race 5 | 3:08 pm ET
#4 Creditworthy (5-2 morning line odds) ran sharp twice in turf sprints last summer, including a win at Saratoga, before going to the sidelines. Long layoff not a concern at this turf sprint distance, and she’s drawn perfectly in post 4. The reputed jockey-trainer tandem of Irad Ortiz Jr. and Chad Brown is tough to knock.
Win bet #4. Exactas 4-5 bigger and 4-3 smaller.
