3 KEE Buffalo Trace Franklin County (GII) 
$350.000 3yo&Up F&M 5 1/2f Turf 3yo 121lbs Older 124lbs
A three-headed monster from Mb and four other tough lookin’ ladies… the Buffalo Trace Franklin County (GII) looks like a loaded sprint affair for the gals, and let’s get right into this one. I’m taking Mo Ki Mo from the Smokey Stover outfit as my top choice. She’ won three of her last four, including that last out closing win in the field at KD, taking home a nice purse that afternoon. She shows eight wins from fifteen starts and is nearing the $1,000.000 earnings mark… she’s nice and The Card has her on top as well. We differ in the second selection as I go with the Big Barn’s Miss Fury, that one second to the top pick last out and she hasn’t been off the board all year posting a 3-1-1 from five starts. The Card takes John Henry’s Stick Low, showing back to back wins from her three starts since the change of barns. It’s a nice lookin’ group of sprinters, so let’s grab a chilly and get down to the rail to watch this turf tussle.
