Race: 9 Post Time: 5:30pm ET
Friday's 9th race from Keeneland (10-20-17) is the Grade 3 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes for 3-year-old fillies and up traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the turf course.
#8 YOUNGEST DAUGHTER (8-1) got going too late in a show finish in a $200k turf route at Indiana Grand Sept 6. Before that, she went all the way in back-to-back wins under today’s rider Court and she missed by a head the other time he rode her. She broke her maiden in a local turf route April 20.
#7 Fault (6-1) fired Trifecta shots in her last six and has been an outstanding claim for profitable trainer Lovell. Hernandez rode her twice at CD earlier this year and she lands the place both times.
#2 Chastise (8-1) made her sophomore debut a winning one at SAR Aug 19 and that was her best number yet. She easily graduated in a local turf route last fall and Johnny V is 2-for-2 with the Pletcher trainee.
#6 Defiant Honor (10-1) flopped in the G2 Sands Point Sept 16 but some of her better efforts put her in the mix like her stalk/pounce win in the restricted Riskaverse Aug 24.
THE PLAYS:
#8 to win
Exacta Box 7-8
Trifecta 7-8/ALL/2-6
