Good morning race fans! I am headed back for the 4th day of Keeneland’s Fall Meet today, 10/7/15, and I have a little gift, or two, for you from our contributing handicapper!
On the 8th race you may want to go with the 8th horse. He says, “Stand Guard could improve dramatically, from last start, and be a nice price!” Race 8 at Keeneland today is 1 and 1/16 miles on the dirt . It is a maiden special weight race for 2 year olds with a purse of $65,000. The race should occur at 4:47 PM EST. Stand Guard is a Kentucky bred horse sired by Awesome Again. His dam is North Cork. He has only raced once previously. That was at Churchill Downs this past September when he finished 5th. His jockey is Shaun Bridgmohan. Wayne M. Catalano is the trainer with Gary and May West Stables, LCC for owners. I’m hoping this colt has a big day at the track today and maybe makes each of you some money.
As for gift number 2… here’s one more tip. On Thursday, 10/8/15, look to race #6 at Keeneland and perhaps pick #7. The tipster said, “Cha Mono ran well last time, at Kentucky Downs, after being in tight early. Greg Foley (trainer) is a solid 23% switching from turf to dirt.” Race 6 is scheduled to go off at 3:51 PM EST. It is a race for 3 year olds and up which have never won 2 races. The purse is $58,000 and the race is 6 and 1/2 furlongs on the dirt. Cha Mono has had 11 career starts. In his 1st four races he was always 2nd or third. Then he won 1st at Ellis Park in July of 2014. Since then he struggled for the next 4 races before coming in at 2nd and 3rd in his last two starts. If his history repeats, it looks like he is due for a win this time. This 4 year old gelding is Kentucky bred between First Samurai and Gregoriana. His jockey is Corey J. Lanerie. He is owned by Golden Shamrock Farms, LCC. and trained by Gregory D. Foley. It would be sweet if Thursday is Cha Mono’s day to win!
I hope each of you enjoyed the tips! Have some great weekdays at the races. I wish to see you there. Drop me a comment, please. Thanks again!
Update: Both Stand Guard and Cha Mono came in 4th in their races. Look for my next post. Hoping for better luck tomorrow!
