Keeneland • Race 8 • Rubicon Valley View Stakes (Grade 3) • 3YO Fillies • 4:44 EST Jockey Irad Ortiz, Jr. has ridden 5 Dolce Zel in each of her starts since arriving Stateside in March. In those five starts, the duo is 2-1-2. Those two wins have come at today’s Grade 3 level, and the 8.5 furlongs would seem to be her preferred distance. She is off a two-month layoff, but regular workouts have been good leading up to this spot. If anything, she should be fresh and ready to fire.
