Exclusive for Substack readers: Jeremy's Keeneland Elite Sires to Watch

Keeneland is among the most-for-course handicapping venues I find throughout America. The meet opens Sunday after a two-day weather delay, and I’ve compiled my list of sires to watch on the main track. Remember, Keeneland races about 32 dates per year, so few horses get to develop any long-standing, proven local form. Pedigree counts here more than most places for that reason.

Here is the actual list I’ve created and use in my daily handicapping, put together alphabetically, to help you when scanning the past performances or race program.
