Here's the field for the G3, $150k Transylvania Stakes, the traditional opening-day feature of the 16-day Keeneland spring meet on Friday:
1. MARAUD, J.Velazquez
2. TIGERS RULE, J.Rosario
3. TAP DADDY, J.Leparoux
4. DRAGON DREW, J.Graham
5. ADMIRALTY PIER, L.Saez
6. DETERMINANT, T.Gaffalione
7. FUNNY DUCK, B.HernandezJr.
8. CAPTIVATING MOON, F.Geroux
9. GOLDEN DRAGON, J.Gilligan
10. KING VALERO, S.Figueroa
11. BEER PRESSURE, R.Albarado
12. ANALYZE IT, J.Ortiz
ANALYZE IT, trained by Chad Brown, is one of the most exciting prospects in the entire 3yo crop. Even with his tough post-12 assignment, he figures to be a huge favorite in this 1 1/16-mile race, assuming it stays on turf (rain and a high of 48 are in the Friday forecast).
The Transy goes as the 9th of 10 Friday races. First post is 1:05, with the Transy going at 5:30.
The full overnight for Friday will be available shortly. Entries for the 11-race Saturday card, led by the $1 million Blue Grass Stakes, will be drawn tomorrow (Tuesday).
