9/9/2021

Kentucky Downs is quickly becoming a track that horseplayers like to play. Takeout is lower than most. This weekend they feature an eleven-race card on Saturday. The card contains five-graded-stakes races. The 14% takeout late Pick 4 starts off with the Kentucky Downs Turf Sprint (GIII) sponsored by FanDuel. The race is for 3-year-olds and up going 6 furlongs on the turf. Of the 23 years this race has been run only once has a 3-year-old won the race. He was ridden by the race’s record holder for most wins, Robby Albarado. The year was 2001 and the horse was Amazon River.
