Today’s Longshot Flyer
KEE, R5: Life Lesson (ML 12-1). [Results: Sent off at 7-1 odds, Life Lesson broke alertly, took an early lead, and gamely hung on through the stretch to win. But, she was disqualified and bumped to third for so-called interference after drifting into the path of Dan’s Pride — note, into the path, not into the horse or even all that near — who deadheated for second with Temper Temper. I’m quite disappointed.]
Kip Seville, a full sister to BC Mile winner Kip Deville (who captured the Maker’s Mark Mile at Keeneland on Friday in his return to the track), also starts in this race. The gray 3-year-old filly made her debut in February at the Fair Grounds in a turf route, a race in which she ran wide throughout and was never involved. She makes the switch to Polytrack here, cuts back to seven furlongs, gets blinkers, and at 15-1 morning line, warrants a look in this spot. [Showed some improvement with the blinkers and ran much closer to the pace; definitely one for the watch list.]
