Second chance
At 8h00, on October 18, 2018 • By Christian Gendron
On October 18th at Keeneland (Sycamore Stake, Grade 3, $ 100,000 Scholarship) in the 8th race (1½ Mile | Lawn), a Win and Placed bet on No 6 Bigger Picture (9/2), an Exacta Box on 6 with 4,5 and a Trifecta on 6 (1st and 2nd) with 4,5,10 with 4,5,7,9,10. In this 13 horse pack, 7 raced together in September at Kentucky Down and No 5 Arklow (5/2) won by half a length. This horse will be a favorite, because of this result, and it could very well repeat with a perfect race. No 4 Oscar Nominated (3/1) is the second choice but being the favorite on September 8, he did not perform but the scenario could be different this time. No 6 Bigger Picture was second in the race, but Tyler Gaffalione, who was driving it for the first time, made his attack too quickly and the long stretch Kentucky Down favors the horses that are patient inside and Bigger Picture had taken outside.
