Two Races In and We Have a Winning Pattern at Keeneland

SAILORS PASTTIIME scored a mild upset at odds of 6-1 in the 2nd race at Keeneland, opening day on Friday. Trained by J. Michael Rogers, this winner fit a similar pattern to his winner last fall in Lexington, based on “Keeneland Winning Trainer Patterns – 2012 fall meet edition”:

Rogers, Michael (2)

Back in 27 days, Shipper from PID, work 6 days prior to race day @KEE, same. TF=11. Odds: 4.50. Owner: Daniel Feiss. Jockey: Baird, E.T. (Day 6) F/11

SAILORS PASTTIIME was shipping in from Presque Isle, off a 21 day rest and taking a nice drop in class from allowance to starter allowance. She had 11 furlongs in works/races over the past 30 days, and she had a work 6 days prior to the race, just like last year. Whereas Rogers’ winner paid $11 for every $2 bet, this six-year-old mare returned a very nice $14.20. [I had the $49.80 exacta over the horse to beat who ran second in this race].
