Jeremy's Keeneland Thursday Last Call
With a $25,000-plus carryover in the pick 6, Races 4-9 get some extra boost. Coming off my worst handicapping day of the meet on Wednesday, the pick 1 might be a better place to start. Let’s get the snowball rolling again with just 2 days of racing left, today and Friday.
The pick 6 sequence lacks a stone-cold single, though 6-5 morning line chalk Ancient World in Race 8 likely will be the hinge on an awful lot of tickets. I’m not completely bought in on him, so getting some coverage there can expand the payouts in the pick 4, pick 5 and pick 6 if you land on the proper alternatives. I give #2 C K Wonder a long look to pull the minor upset in that Race 8 allowance. He’s one of my keys on the card along with Race 4 (#1 River Ridge) and Race 6 (#4 Me and Molly McGee).
Rain is expected to begin around 2 pm as a system is coming from the south. Stay loose when handicapping later-day races and have a plan if conditions change.
No major scratches at this time are impacting my original picks for Thursday. Here’s the full-card outlook:
