KEENELAND/BELMONT ~ CROSS COUNTRY P5

POST-SCRATCHES

KEENELAND 7th: MSW, 2yo-F, 7f (X-C P5, P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Pedigrees on parade in a 7f MSW that isn’t an easy way to start the Cross Country.. Midnight Bisou half Wicked Bisou debuts for Amoss; Harty gives Vexatious/Creative Cause sister Hippie Cowgirl a try on dirt; Team Asmussen/Lieblong unveil Willful Woman, a Nyquist daughter out of Foxy Danseur; Wilkes and The Cauleys bring back Three Tipsy Chix, On Fire Baby’s Md’O miss. As if the race wasn’t tricky enough, note the weirdo invasion of Mia at Midnight (30-1) from Woodbine where she has worked sharply on the dirt training track. Exits the debut race (at this trip) that produced Souper Sensational & Speightstown Shirl. McDonald has come to KEE and won before (. They run for real money at WO after all, so why come here unless you thought she had a real chance to impact on the switch to dirt?
