After a profitable Belmont Stakes it is now time to try our hand at Keenland for the Blue Grass Stakes. This is a field of top of the line horses minus the Kentucky Derby favorites that we must wait to see until September 5th. The interesting thing about this race is that there is a fantastic filly running in this race as the number 7 horse Swiss Skydiver. She is deserving to be in this field with three Beyer’s figures in the 90s and wins in her last three races that actually made her the favorite in this race. Now what I will say is that she has never run above a grade 2 stakes race and the field that she will be running with today is much harder. Swiss Skydiver is at 3-1 and I really do not like that price on a filly running with the Colts. I will try and fade her but I will not let her completely beat me. Instead, I actually like both the 3 horse Art Collector at 5-1 who won his last 3 races and I like the 10 horse the most in Rushie who has gradually improved his Beyer up to 97 and hasn’t regressed. Rushie, who is a stalker, was boxed in for the Santa Anita and had a bad trip. Once he got in the open he made an impressive charge for third. Here is how I am playing this.
