Saturday's 9th race (5:05PM ET) from Keeneland is the Grade 2 Fayette for 3yo's and up traveling nine furlongs on the Polytrack. Three horses stand out on recent late pace figs, and
#6 Giant Oak (10-1) figures to offer the most value. The 3yo son of Giant's Causeway handles any footing and has hit the board in his last two stakes tries. He hails from a 29% dirt to synthetic barn and will be finishing.
#9 Blame (9-5) was my Super Derby top, and he ran a fine race landing the place behind controlling speed Regal Ransom. He has earned triple digit speed ratings in his last pair and appears poised for graded glory in the near future.
#3 Parading (7-5) ran the best race of his career in a romping graded tally here in the spring. He has been knocking heads with grade one SoCal foes in his last three, and he reunites with winning pilot Kent D today.
