Wesley Ward, after winning 10 baby races at Keeneland, goes for a CD stakes win w/ Luv This Lifestyle

Wesley Ward, who lost the first two juvenile races of the Keeneland meet before proceeding to win the next 10(!!!!!!) there, goes gunning for a stakes win with a youngster in the upcoming Kentucky Juvenile at Churchill with Luv This Lifestyle (4). And though one must always respect Ward in races for 2-year-olds - how could you not given his success? - this one seems likely to be overbet. She opened at 1-2 odds soon after race 9 was completed. 

She was able to set a pretty easy pace in winning her lone start, and early-season stakes for 2-year-olds tend to unfold with furious fractions, no surprise since they attract a lot of precocious speedballs.

For that reason, my selection is Shanghaied Roo (3), who won from off the pace first out. Plus, her trainer is Bret Calhoun, the man who won those first two baby races at Keeneland before Ward went on his run. She was 3-1 with 27 minutes to post.
