The Grade 3 Ladies Sprint at Kentucky Downs

Twelve fillies and mares are scheduled to start practically on the turn of this over the hills and through the meadows turf course at Kentucky Downs in the Ladies Sprint.

Key Horse Races & Expert Handicapper Bets – September 11, 2021

Mint Ladies Sprint Stakes - Race 6 Kentucky Downs - Post Time 3:57 Eastern Yes It’s Ginger was sent to post as the 5 to 2 favorite in her last two races, both wins in non-graded stakes which like this were sprints on turf. Yet because this is a 12 horse field she opens at 12/1 and could be a GIFT if running as well in this field.

Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf - Race 7 at Kentucky Downs - Post Time 4:27 PM Eastern English Affair posted the 14/1 upset in the Kentucky Downs Preview Ladies Turf Stakes last month at Ellis Park and I think she will prove that big win was no fluke. Bejarano rode her for the first time and brilliantly and she’s come back to work big since then. She won the Grade 3 Cardinal Stakes as a four year old in 2018 and is ow back in that kind of form and the 114 Equibase Figure she earned [...]
