KEENELAND
SPOT PLAYS
Race 9
#1
Eclatant
Nicely
set-up for success in this spot based on her return from a layoff last time in
a big win at 6 ½F at Gulfstream Park with a 104 Beyer Speed Figure. She’s never
much cared for Churchill Downs but she won her only past outing at Keeneland
and is already a graded stakes winner at this 7F distance. Irad Ortiz picks up
the mount for trainer Brad Cox and Irad will have this horse in a perfect spot not
far off the pace keeping out of a tussle against the speed horses while also
getting the jump on the late runners.
Race 10
#8
Litigation
Plus
exacta box with #2 My Boy Prince
#8
Litigation comes off back-to-back turf sprint wins from off the pace at
Gulfstream Park at the distance of 5F and will be even better here at 5 1/2F. Now
owns 6 wins in 10 career starts.
Play in
exacta box with #2 My Boy Prince, who lost a photo finish to Litigation two
races ago in a 5F turf sprint at Gulfstream Park that he probably would have
won if it were run at today’s 5 ½-furlong distance. He improved in his second
start of the season last time to win a Tampa Bay Downs turf stakes at 5F. Finished
second at the Grade 1 level twice in 2025 in the Jaipur Stakes and in the
Woodbine Mile and is now on his way to sealing the deal in this even more
suitable spot.
