Keeneland • Race 7 • Franklin Stakes (Grade 3) • Fillies & Mares 3YO+ • 4:12 EST I count three need-the-lead types entered here in 4 Creative Credit, 6 Twilight Gleaming, and 12 Elle Z. I’m going to look for those coming from off the pace to make the winner’s circle. A horse that I’ve been following for some time now by the name of 7 Toby’s Heart could be ripe for this spot. She won back in May going 5.5 furlongs at Churchill Downs and has been admittedly up-and-down since. She’s coming out of Kentucky Downs last month in an effort that I’m going to toss. I feel she will be overlooked on the tote board. Hoping that the leaders set a blistering pace for her to run into.
Picks: 7-2-6-11
Best of luck!
