Keeneland picks, race by race
- 5Top pickPowerlinePrat F · Asmussen Steven M
Why Powerline: Owns the best recent speed figures in the field. Bullet work on Oct 4, best of 22 at the distance. Comes back fresh after a 2-month break and has worked sharply since.
- 9Top pickRight in TimeAlvarado J · Mott Riley
Why Right in Time: Holds a small speed edge in a bunched-up field. Won last time out in a maiden special weight. Pedigree via Maclean's Music fits today's sprint.
Value play4 Harmoniously Bet at 5-1 or higher
The public let her go at 9-1 last out, and the ratings say that was a mistake. Comes in off a win at 9-1. Cherie DeVaux gets good results with second-time starters.
- 11Top pickSaudi CrownPrat F · Cox Brad H
Why Saudi Crown: Brings the best recent figures into the race. Just ran a sharply improved race. Can use his gate speed to get first run in this sprint.
Pace: Plenty of early speed with Kerry's Kiss, Simply Joking and Sweet Azteca, so the pace should be contested.

Keeneland picks FAQ
Are these Keeneland picks free?
Yes. Every Keeneland card gets a free top pick for every race, a value play with the minimum odds worth taking, and the Best Bet of the day. Trackside Edge members also get the top three in every race with win estimates, pace notes, confidence ratings and multi-race tickets.
When are Keeneland picks posted?
Our Keeneland picks go up before the card, once entries are out, usually a day or more ahead. This page always shows the current or next Keeneland card, and every past card stays in the archive below.
How are the Keeneland picks made?
Every horse is rated by the TracksideProfits handicapping model: speed figures, current form and the likely pace first, then trainer and jockey, distance and surface fit and pedigree, then class, layoffs and workouts.
What does "Bet at 6-1 or higher" mean on a value play?
It is the lowest price at which the value play is worth a bet based on our win estimate. If the horse is shorter than that at post time, the value is gone.
What if one of the picks scratches?
Move to the next pick in that race. Picks are made before scratches and late changes, so always check the final field before you bet.
