Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: A Price Play For The Road

The elite Kentucky Downs meet 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 Wednesday's closing day card, Fox will be eyeing Race 6, a one-mile allowance optional claiming race with a 20-1 shot shipping east from the California Fair circuit.

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.

Fox's closing day “Scratch Saver” pick is #8 Darkroom in Race 8, the Pepsi Juvenile Sprint Stakes. Eddie Kenneally wheels back this runner off of a disappointing eighth-place effort as the favorite on opening day of the meet. Horses trying the surface for the second time improve, and this horse will also be fitter for it.

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.

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 Sunday's card, Fox has his eye on a horse in Race 9, the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile Stakes. After showing a lot of heart in his first two starts, Fox's pick will make his stakes debut on Sunday at morning line odds of 12-1.

Sunday's “Scratch Saver” pick comes in Race 2, where Fox likes #12 Modern Sound at odds of 10-1 on the morning line. Modern Sound ran well closing on yielding turf sprinting on debut. She should appreciate stretch out and trainer Chris Block is 20 percent with maidens second out and 26 percent with a $4.18 ROI taking runners from sprint to route.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: No Flash-In-The-Pan In Ladies Turf Sprint

The elite Kentucky Downs meet 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 focus on Race 11, the Grade 2 Ladies Turf Sprint Stakes, targeting a 10-1 shot on the morning line who won three straight graded stakes races at Woodbine before a stumble out of the gate in Saratoga ended the streak.

Saturday's “Scratch Saver” comes in Race 5, a one-mile maiden special weight, where Fox will eye #6 Shockwave. Back from the sidelines since a fourth-place effort at Gulfstream Park in March, the colt has been working well at Woodbine with a strong turf training track work in July. The Ken Ramsey homebred should be near the pace to make one run.

Longshot Look Presented By Kentucky Downs: Seeing ‘Red’ In The Dueling Grounds Oaks

The elite Kentucky Downs meet 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 Sunday's card, Fox zeroes in on Race 10, the Dueling Grounds Oaks: a 1 5/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies. His 12-1 horse to watch will try to take advantage of her distance-laden pedigree and a slight step back in class to hopefully ring the bell at a price.

His Scratch Saver for Sunday's card comes in Race 8, where he'll be eyeing #8 Strand of Gold, who is 10-1 on the Morning Line. Strand of Gold broke her maiden impressively in March and needed the first-up effort off a five-month layoff last time at Saratoga Race Course. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. hits just shy of 20 percent with second starts off similar layoffs, and jockey Edgard Zayas and Joseph hit at 25 percent last year's Kentucky Downs meet (4-for-16).
