Keeneland: Blue Grass projected field looks full

The field for the annual spring marquee at Keeneland, the Grade 1, $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes, is coming up big, with perhaps the 14-horse limit having to be invoked.

One week before entries will be drawn, there were at least 15 3-year-olds pointing for the 1 1/8-mile Polytrack race, according to the Keeneland racing office. They are Asserting Bear, Big Bazinga, Bobby’s Kitten, Casiguapo, Chief Barker, Coastline, Dance With Fate, Danza, Divine Oath, Extrasexyhippzster, Gala Award, Harry’s Holiday, Mr Speaker, Pablo Del Monte, and Vinceremos.
Tiered preference is given to graded stakes winners, then by highest earnings. Using that criteria, Chief Barker would be the first excluded from that list.
