If you followed my picks yesterday, you probably didn’t come out rich, but hopefully you connected on a couple winners. Results below from how my picks played out on opening day:
So, not great, but I guess I can say that I mentioned seven out of eight winners yesterday in my analysis…Right?
Opening day was awesome – beautiful weather, a lively crowd, and some quality racing. On the track, Bulletin captured in the featured race to remain undefeated in the $100,000 Palisades Turf Sprint. Off the track, there was a legitimate concert and stage in the paddock area and the band went on immediately following the races. Kudos to Keeneland for stepping out of their comfort zone and trying something new with the concert. I hope they do something like that again.
As for Friday’s racing, I didn’t have enough time to give an in-depth analysis for each race, so I just went through and made some picks.
