The Most Beautiful Place On Earth! Man, oh man, do I love KEE!! We catch a field of eight sod sprinters set to go five and a half furlongs in the Shakertown (GII). Add in that crazy-weight season begins, with the 3yo’s getting an eight-pound weight break… yippy! (I hate it). So, with all of that, both good and bad… how do we see this one?

I’ll give Chilled Niagra the edge to get the job done here. Three wins in a row, then a near miss in the Silk Run, this one seems fast and sharp right now. Ten wins from nineteen lifetime starts. Yeah, he has speed, class and heart. I love the 6f bullet work, over the track, as well.

So, we are knee-deep in the winner, now, where do we go? Let’s stay with the barn and go with the stable mate, as I think Whoa Bo is due for a big run, if not a win, today. That one has speed to burn, setting a :43 half on the downhill, last out, only to end up third in the San Simeon (GIII). This is a horse that just seems to be ready to do some major damage.

We will go right next door and give Little Tiger a chance in this sprint, as well… fast? Yeah, he’s fast. he just missed in the GP Turf Sprint (GIII) then came back to take the Turf Dash at TAM, those two after changing hands, and he was fast fast fast prior to that. I know he’s a 7yo, but this one has some burner speed.

I left off a few that could take this one… it’s a nice group so grab a cold beverage, and I’ll see you at the finish line!

NOTE – We have two scratches as Max removes both Chilled Niagra and Last Way To The Beac
