Let's go to the Kentucky/Tennessee border today for racing at Kentucky Downs. The all-turf track only runs a couple of weeks a year, but consistently brings in the best owners, trainers and jockeys.
There are five stakes races there today -- two Grade II's and three Grade III's -- and full fields for all. Let's take a look.
RACE 6 -- LADIES SPRINT -- GIII -- $600K -- 6-1/2 FURLONGS (TURF)
10 -- VENETIAN HARBOR
6 -- SUPERSTITION
4 -- YES IT'S GINGER
8 -- CATCH A BID
(If scratches occur: 8 -- JEANIE B )
RACE 7 -- LADIES TURF -- GIII -- $750K -- ONE MILE (TURF)
2 -- PRINCESS GRACE
8 -- SUMMER IN SARATOGA
9 -- DALIKA
5 -- SHE'SONTHEWARPATH
(If scratches occur: 3 -- ABSCOND)
RACE 8 -- TURF SPRINT -- GIII -- $I MILLION -- 6 FURLONGS (TURF)
9 -- GOT STORMY
7 -- CASA CREED
5 -- BORN GREAT
2 -- FAST BOAT
(If scratches occur: 3 -- BOMBARD)
RACE 9 -- TURF CUP -- GII -- $1 MILLION -- 1-1/2 MILES (TURF)

5 --ARKLOW
9 -- GLYNN COUNTY
11 -- ZULU ALPHA (scratched)
(If scratches occur: 6 -- BLUEGRASS PARKWAY) (scratched) 4 -- TIDE OF THE SEA
RACE 10 -- FRANKLIN-SIMPSON STAKES -- GII -- $600K -- 6-1/2 FURLONGS (TURF)
6 -- NEXT
10 -- POINT ME BY
11 -- BODENHEIMER
7 -- ANNEX
(If scratches occur: 3 -- COUNTY FINAL)
The Play:
There is no Pick 5 that covers these five races (Races 6-10) and that's a shame...but there are Pick 3's available, so let's shift gears this week and try a few of those. Starting in Race 6, if we take my top four picks in Races 6,7 and 8, we can get a Pick 3 in for just $32. Doing the same in Races 7,8 and 9...and then again in Races 8,9,10 gets you out for less that $100.
Although the weather looks warm and sunny and the turf should be firm, there's always the possibility of scratches, so keep your eye open for them.
Best of luck!
