This maiden 2-year-old colt improved second time out. Settled midpack, finished evenly behind odds-on winner, galloped out willingly. Might want longer. Follow in third start.

The Keeneland fall meet will have 22 stakes races worth in the neighborhood of $6 million.

Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.

This Point of Entry did not attract the strongest field. The two runners with the strongest class lines are obviously Tide of the Sea (#1) and Shamrocket (#2).

Where’s Joey, our 3-year-old Pick last week, gave us some palpitations all the way but had to settle for completing the trifecta and squeezing into the superfecta. The 2-year-old race at Keeneland was rained off the turf and our choice was scratched.
