The weather was horrible in the middle of the country Sunday, with six rainouts in Major League Baseball. Keeneland was not immune, as rain dumped on the Lexington, Ky., track. But that did not dampen the DRF Tournaments’ special all-Keeneland slate. The three featured DRFT games went on, with Belmont and Monmouth games selling out and the World Horseplayers’ Tour qualifier also going on as scheduled. Let’s start with Lawrence Kahlden, the biggest winner of the weekend. Kahlden won a $10,000 entry for the Belmont Stakes Challenge in a field of 30. He started well with $13.20 win-place combined from Terrible Day in the Keeneland opener before going cold. He got to his winning total of $90.20 by collecting in the last four races, with the key hits being the Italian-bred Rare Dane ($26.40) in the seventh and Heartwood ($41.20) in the eighth. Kahlden, a tournament veteran who dances most of the big dances, will head to New York for the third leg of the Triple Crown. Joseph Cirone and Chick Matties each won a seat to Monmouth’s Pick Your Prize contest, to be held on-track June 2. Cirone started quietly, but went on a roll with six collections in the final seven races. Heartwood was his longest, and he closed in style with $18.40 from Ironclad. His total of $107.20 put him way in front in the 46-entry field. Matties, an accomplished player also known as the father of tournament players Duke and Paul Jr., had to work a bit harder. He ended up at $96.80, $13.40 clear of third. He had six collections in the 12-race sequence, including Terrible Day and the same Heartwood-Ironclad double that propelled Cirone. Chris Olsson deserves honorable mention but had a frustrating day in the Monmouth game. He placed his three entries in the top 10, including the one that finished third. But since the event filled, there was no extra money to award as breakage, and Olsson went home empty-handed. In the World Horseplayers’ Tour/Santa Anita Preakness Challenge event, Michael Caposio won his $5,000 seat to the no-entry-fee, prize-money-added contest that will be filmed as a TV pilot. Caposio started off on top with two quick winners and a bankroll of $25.40. From there, he cooled off, getting back only $4.80 in the next five contest events. But in the eighth, it was Heartwood to the rescue, and he ended up in first with $71.40, more than $14 clear of second. The game attracted 16 entries, with one seat awarded for every 12. This meant that there was breakage in form of site credit for the players who finished second through fourth: Edward Wright ($600), Craig Spencer ($600), and Sally Goodall ($300). On Saturday, the $1 million, no-takeout World Championship of Handicapping took center stage. Paul Aussenhoffer was the big winner, netting his $5,000 seat to next year’s WCH event. The 11-entry contest was a low-scoring affair, with Aussenhoffer getting done despite a tally of just $48. He got on the board in the fifth contest race with Triple Chelsea ($23.80) in Keeneland’s eighth, and followed that with City of Light ($17.20) in the Oaklawn Handicap. A few more points on even-money favorite Alberobello ($7) rounded out his total. Contest action returns to DRFT on Wednesday with a full slate of games including feeders, matchups, credit builders, and winner-take-alls. Among the games this week will be two free feeders, in which players can start their journeys to the 2019 World Championship of Handicapping. Next weekend’s featured game will be a one-day qualifier for the WCH, in which players put up $580, with one in 10 winning a $5,000 buy-in.
