The elite Kentucky Downs rolls on, featuring some of the nation's largest purses and field sizes, and one of the most attractive wagering menus on the racing calendar.
The Paulick Report is back with another season of Longshot Look to help you get the most out of one of North America's premier turf meets.
For each card of the seven-day meet, J.D. Fox will single out a price play with his reasoning for what makes the horse worth a look when they might go overlooked.
On Saturday's card, Fox will be watching a 20-1 morning line shot in Race 4 who is making her return to turf for the first time since breaking her maiden last year.
In the event of inclement weather around Franklin, Ky., we've introduced J.D.'s “Scratch Saver” pick to increase the chances of the host helping you find a winner, whether they're a longshot or not.
Saturday's “Scratch Saver” is #3 Etheric in the second race. Etheric returns from a long layoff into Jonathan Thomas' barn, who is hitting at 30 percent on horses new to his shedrow. This horse has shown an ability to grind and close in what appears to be a wide open maiden special weight field. Etheric is 8-1 on the morning line.
Kentucky Downs' 2023 meet takes place Aug. 31 and Sept. 2, 3, 7, 9, 10 and 13. First post each day is at 12:25 p.m. Central, except for the Saturday, Sept. 9 card, which features a special start time of 11:30 a.m. Central.
