This Weekend’s Bets
Saturday, Oct. 30
Longshot Play
Keeneland, Race 2, 1:32 p.m. ET
#5 Spartina: This filly entered her debut off three bullet works and regarded like she was in with an outsider’s probability to hit the board in her first profession race. Sadly she broke sluggish and that basically price her any kind of putting, as she bought shuffled again and couldn’t discover racing room late.
Saturday she will get to strive her luck with simply three weeks off in between outings. Together with being raced again rapidly she will get a high pilot in Joel Rosario on board. This provides to the attraction. I’m hoping she could be dealt with aggressively early on and hit the board at huge odds.

Woodbine, Race 3, $125,000 Show Stakes, 1:55 p.m. ET
#1 Ironstone: This colt comes into Saturday’s contest using a two-race successful streak. In each of his victories he was in a position to get to the entrance finish, showcase early pace and win in gate-to-wire style. He attracts a small discipline on this race, will get a great publish to work with on the rail, and is more likely to flaunt that early kick as soon as once more. In a discipline missing pace, he ought to be capable to get away with some manageable fractions and will probably be very troublesome to go down the lane.
I’ll be constructing my multi-leg tickets round this colt and hope to seek out costs in a number of the different legs.
Longshot Play
Keeneland, Race 8, $150,000 Bryan Station Stakes, 4:44 p.m. ET
#7 Point Me By: This colt to be one other on Saturday’s Keeneland program that would supply some worth at a giant value. This colt is available in off a disappointing graded stakes outing going off as the favourite – he didn’t have a lot left down the lane which was shocking displaying how nicely he kicked into gear two begins in the past at Arlington Park.
Saturday he will get to drop at school and may be capable to work out his excellent journey – a stalking one with fairly a little bit of early pace to chase in right here. Returning to the route distance together with reuniting with jockey Adam Beschizza who rode this colt to his first-ever win provides to the attraction.

Keeneland, Race 9, $200,000 Hagyard Fayette Stakes, 5:16 p.m. ET
#1 Sleepy Eyes Todd: When on his recreation this horse has gained by displaying off pace, by figuring out stalking journeys, and he’s additionally closed from what seemed to be inconceivable spots at instances to win eight of 20 profession races thus far. He is available in off a runner-up end within the Charles Town Classic setting the tempo.
He will get one other strive on the mile and eighth distance which seems to be his greatest, attracts the within which provides to the choices on journey situation and potentialities, and will get one other attempt to notch one other graded stakes victory to his identify. I like his probabilities and I believe he must be a good value to take a shot.
