Tag: KyD Live Long Shot

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.

The elite Kentucky Downs meet kicks off Thursday, Aug. 31., 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 Thursday's opening day card, Fox has zeroed in on a horse in the seventh race: a one-mile allowance for 3-year-olds and up that have not won a graded stakes race on the turf in 2023. At odds of 10-1 his pick will aim to regain the winning form he established this spring in Maryland.

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.

Thursday's Scratch Saver comes in the 10th and final race of the day: a one-mile maiden special weight for 2-year-olds.

#12 Raguel's dam had a strong runner-up effort in debut routing at Keeneland and Raguel sire's lineage is “win early” as well (Scat Daddy, Johannesburg, Hennessy, Storm Cat). Those with experience in the race haven't done much, outside of Frontline Warrior who is fourth on the also eligible list. Raguel is 12-1 on the morning line.

Kentucky Downs' 2022 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.

Though Kentucky Downs features some of the richest races on the calendar, the boutique meet also serves as a launching pad for many horses to stage a big fall and winter campaign.

On this edition of Longshot Look, J.D. Fox examines Saturday's closing day card at Keeneland, and finds a Kentucky Downs alum at a price in Race 8, the Grade 3 Bryan Station Stakes.

Fox's pick has been active on the Kentucky circuit this year, and he comes into Saturday's Bryan Station off a victory in the Gun Runner Stakes at Kentucky Downs.

Though Kentucky Downs features some of the richest races on the calendar, the boutique meet also serves as a launching pad for many horses to stage a big fall and winter campaign.

In the latest Longshot Look, J.D. Fox takes a look at how a graduate of this year's Kentucky Downs meet stands to hit at a solid price during Sunday's card at Keeneland Race Course.

Fox has his eye on a horse in Race 5 on Sunday; a 5 1/2-furlong turf allowance race.

His pick broke his maiden at Kentucky Downs in his previous start and will aim to continue his success on Sunday at morning line odds of 8-1.
