Free: Longshot can fill out Count Fleet exacta

Barbara D. Livingston
Thirteen of the last 20 Count Fleet Handicaps have been won by the favorite. Jackie’s Warrior can add to that stat Saturday.

This weekend is quiet at Santa Anita, where the next significant action is a graded stakes quadruple-header April 30. Meantime, plenty of cross-country topics this week, from Oaklawn Park to Keeneland to Santa Anita and elsewhere . . .

Get lucky in the Count Fleet

As if Jackie’s Warrior’s needed help, recent history of the Grade 3 Count Fleet Handicap boosts the favorite’s chance to win the six-furlong race Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Few graded races are more predictable – Count Fleet favorites have won 13 of the past 20, including three by Whitmore.

Keeneland: Blue Grass Stakes Day pick five play

Kenny Peck's pick-five play at Keeneland for Saturday, April 9, 2022.

NASHVILLE (#5) again looks to be the dominant speed, as he was in that optional claimer at Fair Ground last time; will take them as far as he can, and he’ll be tough to catch if he’s once again unpressured from the start. Top pick O BESOS (#11) cuts back from routes and may be the one to fear late in his first start at this distance; he was moving well late in the Mineshaft last time out (3).
