Here’s our looks for Saturday’s card at the big oval in Louis Town. It will be a whirlwind day for Team McLean. We are headed to the track, with a few of our members of McLean Racing, and great friends & partners, David & Lori Hebel-Osborne, to see our newest acquisition, Co Heart, in the first race. After a few chilly pops and a bite of lunch, the lovely LA and I will head off to Woodford County for the 50th Anniversary of my graduation class. Ugh. Fifty years since I walked the halls of the old high school? Really?

Well, back to reality.

And, away we go…

1st: 3-8-9/1-11/6/4-5-10-12…Our California-bred filly, Co Heart, will make her career debut in this $30,000 Maiden Claimer today. She is a leggy filly that covers a lot of ground, and looks big and athletic. She may want a little longer, but trainer Paul McGee is one of the best in the business and we go way back. His assistant, the legendary Neil Howard, is one of the best in the history of the game, too. Whatever these gents say? You can take to the bank. And, we are hoping for a bankroll here. I bet the 9 across the board and then box the top 3 in the exactas. I will key the top 3 numbers over/under the 1-11 in two smaller units. 

2nd: 3-4/2-1-6/5…Rest of the Comments to come…

3rd: 2-3/5-4-6/1-7…

4th: 3-8/5-7/4-1/2/6…

5th: 1-8/12-9/7/2-5/6-10-4…

6th: 6/9/3-7/4-8//1-2-5…

7th: 3/6/5-1/2/4…Bourbon Flight Stakes…

8th: 5-9/8-1/7-2/3-6/4…G3 Dogwood Stakes…

9th: 6-1-3/2/4-7//5…Harrods Creek Stakes…

10th: 12-11/13/8/4/5/3-9-10/2…Seneca Stakes…

11th: 11/(16)-(15)-6/2-(14)/7-(13)/1…

Good Luck & All the Best / Gene
