Each day during the 17-day Keeneland Fall Meet, I’ll spotlight the double-digit morning line prices that you’ll want to consider for your exotics plays. These are based on my top-3 choices in each race and will only appear if they’re in my mix and of significant odds.
Keeneland has a pick 6 carryover of $27,465 on its next-to-last day of the Fall Meet. The pick 6 goes as Races 5-10 and includes a trio of our potential price players.
Race 3:
#5 Newhope (15-1 ML) – Even sprint debut at Churchill and gets to stretch legs around 2 turns in a flat-mile race that finishes at the sixteenth pole. Trainer Lindsay Schultz hasn’t been as effective in 2026 as 2025, not as busy here at Keeneland, but she did pop a $25 winner last Fall Meet in an eerily similar spot to this race for 2YO route maiden claimers.
Race 5:
#7 Sound Cause (10-1 ML) – While dirt looks like this one’s third-best surface, everything Steve Asmussen has been doing the past couple of weeks at Keeneland has come together with success. Overcame a brutal post on turf at Churchill last time and just might be in such good form that he’ll replicate it on dirt.
Race 9
#4 Call On Me (15-1 ML) – Local course winner in April is by elite Kee turf sire Twirling Candy and much better than her last looks on paper. That was a wicked matchup up front with Kentucky Belle, one of the very best 3YO fillies in America; nothing like that in this Valley View Stakes edition. Turf rails out, speed should carry. Rusty Arnold barn got a win here closing week to turn the corner of a disappointing meet. It’s a longshot profile race in the history of the Valley View, so why not another?
Race 10
#7 Flash of Freedom (20-1 ML) – Don’t let slopy track flounders fool you; both of his Keeneland fast dirt efforts would put him squarely in the mix here. Great price and will use with #5 Sesasi (9-2 ML) in intra-race exotics.
