Keeneland is my home track, and I must say it is very exceptional. What I mean is that none of the handicapping basics seem to hold up at Keeneland. I think that this is because Keeneland is in the heart of Breeding country, a lot of owners/trainers put a disproportionate effort into winning here. And, how many times have you seen natural 8/5s go off at 2/5 at Kee? Or horses with the right connections beat sweeming much superior runners?

Hence, I have never found anyone's speed figures as predictive at KEE as say CD for instance. Thus, I would also imagine that Kee figs are hard to make. Anyhow, my advice is too ignore KEE races in the PPs when handicapping at other tracks. (For example, Thunder Gulch.) Whatever the line says for a horse at KEE, it is was very likely an aboration!!
