Lentnor Races on Saturday

Lentenor is entered in the 8th Race at Keeneland on Saturday on the all weather track. Here is the field:

8th (4:52)

1 1/8 Miles (All Weather Track) | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up Allowance | Purse: $49,000

Post # Horse Jockey
1 Running Tempo, Montalvo C
2 Brave Prospect, Baze M C
3 Spartan King, Mena M
4 Indianapolis (BRZ), Borel C H
5 Heart Butte, Velazquez J R
6 Bull Hole, Dominguez R A
7 Palatine Hill, Kuntzweiler G
8 Alcomatch, Leparoux J R
9 Yankee Scholar, Rosario J
10 Guys Reward, Lanerie C J
11 Lentenor, Albarado R J

On paper, it looks like a good spot for Lennie, although the far outside post will be interesting. If he breaks well, can go to an early lead and stay there, he should fare well on the synthetic surface at Keeneland.

Watch for some strong competition from Heart Butte (strange name), trained by Todd Pletcher and ridden by Johnny Velazquez. He has a win against Drosselmeyer under his belt. And one should never rule out Calvin Borel, who no doubt will be hugging the rail.

Morning line has Lennie as 3 to 1. Crowd may likely make him the favorite.

Wishing everyone a safe trip.
