Jerry,
First of all, you have my utmost admiration for even attempting to come up with accurate figures for that day (4/23) at Keeneland. I recall margins of victory on dirt of 25, 12, 7, 10, 6 and so on. What about the 5th race, where the winner won by 7 and the second place horse was 22 lengths clear of third? I agree that many guys who train for the Lexington breeding elite gear up for this meet, juice or no juice. Either way, this is one horseplayer who is counting the hours until that place closes for the summer.
Is there any chance they can run those two Keeneland meets much like the Dubai Racing Carnival? They should not allow betting no matter what you're religious affiliation. Just have the breeding industry put up the purse money as sort of a showcase for their horses, and let the juice run wild. I would have no problem forgetting that the place ever existed.
