Keeneland Race 7
3 - Liam's Map
Is the morning line heavy favorite and for good reason. In seven lifetime starts he has five wins and two seconds. He also has the highest speed figures in the field. Including going wire-to-wire in his latest G. I victory setting quick fractions of 1:10 and 1:34 in his 4 3/4 length win going 1 1/8 mile. Should have no problem with the distance and beating his foes in what will be a short price. Too classy.
1 - Red Vine
Always in the money. This 5 year-old gives his best every time on the track. Earning a placing in 17 of 19 lifetime starts. He enters this race with a nice incline of speed figures and making his third start off a layoff makes him ready to go. With Candy Ride in the family tree the distance is fine and should get a nice trip to include in the exotics.
5 - Lea
Has shown great versatility. Winning from both on and off the pace. This should come in handy today. Speed figures to match Liam's Map and has been working like a champ here at Keeneland (4f :47 B). He is a top contender just based on his front running performance in the Donn early this year. Do not believe anyone is going to beat Liam's Map, but Lea will complete the exotics.
