LEXINGTON, Ky. – They should all come back this good. A gelding named Spinning Move was unable to win so much as a maiden race as a 3-year-old, but after being away from the races for more than 16 months, he has returned with a vengeance for trainer Neil Howard, winning 2 of 3 starts and threatening to become a force in the turf-sprint niche for older horses.Spinning Move could take a notable step up that class ladder Wednesday when Keeneland presents a $58,000, second-level allowance as the featured eighth of nine races. With Julien Leparoux to ride, Spinning Move drew the favorable outside post in a well-matched field of 12 set to clash at 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf.“That post is probably good for us,” said Howard, a recent returnee to Kentucky from the four-month meet at Fair Grounds in New Orleans. “That way Julien can break and get position and hopefully not have any trouble getting the horse to run his race.”Spinning Move, a 5-year-old by Belong to Me out of Tight Spin, went winless in three starts at 3 before incurring what Howard described as a minor soft-tissue injury. “Those are things that take a long time to come back from, if you’re going to give them the time they really need,” he said. “I think he’s a really nice horse, and he responded real well. His mother was real strong in these kinds of races, so we’re hoping he’ll keep this up.”Spinning Move won a maiden claiming race in mid-January at Fair Grounds in his return “when we were trying to be a little generous with him,” said Howard. He proceeded to run second, then win, in back-to-back first-level allowances. In taking the requisite raise in conditions Wednesday on a rare stakes-less card at Keeneland, he looks as good as any in what should prove an excellent betting race.Other logical contenders in the feature include Upsell (post 1, E.T. Baird), a gray Chicago shipper with a 7-for-19 record; Stormy Rush (post 3, Garrett Gomez), stakes-placed earlier in his career for Roger Attfield; and Heir Joe (post 5, Robby Albarado), a consistent sort knocking on the door at this level.Also on tap for Wednesday are a starter-allowance (race 2) at the seldom-run distance of 1 1/4 miles on the Polytrack, and a maiden special-weight turf route (race 6). All the others are claiming events. First post is 1:05 p.m. Eastern.◗ The Keeneland stakes schedule resumes Thursday with the Grade 3, $100,000 Appalachian Stakes, a one-mile turf race that drew nine 3-year-old fillies, with Dayatthespa and Somali Lemonade the likely favorites.The last full weekend of racing at this 15-day meet will bring the Grade 3, $100,000 Doubledogdare on Friday; the Grade 3, $200,000 Coolmore Lexington and the $100,000 Giant’s Causeway on Saturday; and the Grade 3, $150,000 Ben Ali on Sunday.
