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.

Race 1:
#1 Heartbeat (10-1 ML) – recent efforts haven’t inspired but will tip her chances from the start if she reverts to her past strong early speed; the Churchill alumni have dominated the starter allowances.
Race 2:
#3 Jus Too Fly (20-1 ML) – Belterra runners have done surprisingly well in claiming routes at this level in the Fall and gets a good, 2-turn draw with little speed inside of him.
Race 3:
#4 Master Queen (10-1 ML) – Turf was a disaster, but the Colonial maiden form holds up well against most of these and she’s worked fast over the track; sire Vekoma has had excellent local results with offspring.
Race 4:
#9 Parisinthespring (15-1 ML) – Cut-backs in distance aren’t typically strong in Kee 7F races like the clich� says they are, but at this elder maiden special weight level they have been; by top local dirt sire in recent meets City of Light.
Race 5:
#4 Should’ve (12-1 ML) – Drawn in a Keeneland turf sprint power post (3-4-5) for the track’s far-and-away leading turf-sprint trainer, Wesley Ward, and she’s a daughter of top Kee grass sire Not This Time.
Race 6:
none
Race 7:
None
Race 8:
#12 Mightily (15-1 ML) – filly ran a dynamite second against the boys in stakes company at Colonial with a 99 BRIS late pace figure behind an odds-on, unbeaten winner; take back from this post and make one run.
Race 9:
None
Race 10:
#4 Lahainaluna (12-1 ML) – Joe Sharp aims for these longer Kee turf races and has secured multiple wins in Fall Meets with this type; the Kentucky Downs, long-winded preppers have had success at this class level and distance and this colt was a solid third over the course in April.
