Mr. K's Play of the Day for Friday - April 29, 2022
Race 6: An 8-1 best bet you say? This 1-1/8th mile turf race is for non-winners of three. Xavey Dave ships up from Fair Grounds for McLean Robertson. In his last start, he showed a huge closing punch decimating a field of 10 by over 5 lengths. This son of Temple City will love the Keeneland surface where closers have been winning the turf races of late and his outside post will be to his benefit. He will be ignored at the windows.

The Bet: Race 6: $100 across the board on XAVEY DAVE

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Friday - April 29, 2022
Race 10: The last race of the Spring Meet goes 1-3/16 miles on the grass. Rusty Arnold brings Spin Wheel up from Florida where he had two straight unsuccessful bids on the Derby trail in the Holy Bull and Tampa Bay Derby. He was shipped to Lexington and has been working at Keeneland in preparation for the surface switch from dirt to turf. This son of Hard Spun will relish the Keeneland lawn at 12-1 morning line odds.

Race 4: This $40K Claimer goes 6 furlongs on the main track. Cherie DeVeaux brings Dame Cinco in off a 5-month winter break where she last ran 10th at Churchill in an over-her-head $128K Allowance. She's been working well at Keeneland in preparation for her 4-year-old debut and Luis Saez for the mount. She wins this afternoon.

The Bet: Race 4: $100 across the board on #5-DAME CINCO

Results: Ran 2nd. Cashed for $290

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Thursday - April 28, 2022
Race 7: This one goes 1-3/16 miles on the lawn. Brad Cox brings Whenthedawnbreaks up from Fair Grounds for her third turf-try. This Ghostzapper filly won at first asking then got necked-out for the win last out against winners. Cox masterfully gave her some time off to recoup where he wins at 29% off such a layoff. I like her at 10-1 morning-line odds.

Race 5: Maidens go postward in this 7-furlong sprint for a $100,000 tag. Brad Cox is winning at 25% on the meet and starts firster Nosilverspoonshere. This Connect filly has five solid works under her belt and looks primed for great effort in her debut. Flavien Prat jumps in the saddle to add to the appeal.

The Bet: Race 5: $100 across the board on #2-NOSILVERSPOONSHERE

Results: WINNER! CASHED FOR $770

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Wednesday - April 27, 2022
Race 4: This 5-1/2 furlong sprint on the lawn has a full field of 12. Trainer Victoria Oliver seems to point her horses toward the Keeneland meet every spring. She has produced again this meet winning at 25% and starts Leave It Be this afternoon. This Street Boss firster and G Watts Humphrey homebred is bred for this surface and distance and should fire at first asking at a delicious 15-1 morning-line odds.

SUNDAY - APRIL 24, 2022

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Sunday - April 24, 2022
Race 4: A field of 8 goes postward for this $10K Allowance. Mike Maker is dropping the 9-year-old Exulting down from the $40K level where this gelding finished 6th at Oaklawn last out. Trying for his 11th win lifetime, today he faces lesser competition and Maker gives a leg-up to the white-hot Tyler Gaffalione.

The Bet: Race 4: $100 across the board on #8-EXULTING

Results: Ran 2nd, cashed for $280

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Sunday - April 24, 2022
Race 7: A full field of 12 are entered in the 5-1/2 furlong sprint on the lawn. Trainer Mark Casse is trying to break his 0-for-17 slump this meet with Turned Aside. This American Pharoah gelding has faced much tougher competition in 2021 than he'll see here today. He is making his 5-year-old debut after getting a much needed winter break since a poor 9th-place finish in November at Aqueduct. He gets Luis Saez who should continue his stellar weekend with more wins on Sunday. I like him at 10-1 morning-line odds.

Race 5: This $110K Allowance goes a mile on the lawn. Josie Carroll takes over for James Toner on Seasons. This Tapit filly was last seen at Woodbine in October finishing 5th in the Ontario Damsel Stakes. She was put on the shelf for 6 months and now returns for her 4-year-old debut. She's been working well at Keeneland and Carroll wins at 30% with first trainer and now he's put the red hot Tyler Gaffalione in the irons. She wins today.

The Bet: Race 5: $100 across the board on #3-SEASONS

Results: Ran 2nd. Broke even. Cashed for $300

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Saturday - April 23, 2022
Race 2: The second half of the double goes 5-1/2 on the grass. Floyd G makes his debut for unknown owner/trainer Bob Sturgeon. This Jack Milton gelding has put together 8 straight speed-burner works that should equate to a top effort at 12-1 morning-line odds.

Race 6: This $80K Claimer goes 7-furlongs on the main track. Trainer Jonathan Thomas is primarily known for his turf runners, but today he enters a daughter of Uncle Mo named Mouffy for her second straight dirt try. In her last, she was headed at the wire by Hot Peppers down at Gulfstream going 6-furlongs. Today she gets another panel to show her stamina influence and Luis Saez retains the mount.

The Bet: Race 6: $100 across the board on #3-MOUFFY

Results: Winner! Cashed for $410

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for April 22, 2022
Race 10: Today's finale goes 5-1/2 furlongs on the grass and features a full field of 12. Trainer Ignacio Correas brings in Shannon for her first start in 16 months. This Nyquist filly has a nice work pattern here at Keeneland leading up to her return and I'm going to take advantage of a super price of 15-1 morning-line that should be one of many longshots that win on Friday's card.

THURSDAY - APRIL 21, 2022

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Thursday - April 21, 2022
Race 3: This $25K Claimer goes 7-furlongs on the main track. Nottoway ships down from Maryland for trainer Lacey Gaudet where he last ran all the way back in May of 2021. Now seven years old, Nottoway is in for the lowest tag in some time, however, it appears the connections wan to get a winner's circle photo at Keeneland on his resume as this gelding is not headed to the breeding shed for obvious reasons.

The Bet: Race 3: $100 across the board on #6-NOTTOWAY

Results: SCRATCHED

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Thursday - April 21, 2022
Race 4: I'm hoping this 5-1/2 furlong sprint stays on the lawn as there is more rain in the forecast for Lexington on Thursday. Lomu ships up from Fair Ground for trainer Lon Wiggins. This gelding has now attempted this distance two straight times with troubled trips. Wiggins must think this gelding is a sprinter or he wouldn't be making his third try at 5-1/2. Plus, he's adding blinkers along with veteran rider Corey Lanerie where there is a strong jockey/trainer winning percentage. I like him at 15-1 morning-line odds.

Race 6: This $30K Claimer goes 7-furlongs on the main track. Coming to Lexington for his second start after a year layoff, Norm Casse brings Beep Beep up from Fair Grounds where this 4-year-old broke poorly but showed good effort rallying late to run 6th. Beep Beep seems to attract trouble in his races but with a clean run here, he should overwhelm this lackluster field.

The Bet: Race 6: $100 across the board on #2-BEEP BEEP

Results: Pulled up, ran last. Loss of $300

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Wednesday - April 20, 2022
Race 5: This turf-mile features a full field of 12. Now Yus Can't Leave ships in from Fair Grounds for trainer Kelly Rubley. This Tonalist filly has run at distances over a mile in all 10 of her starts and now shortens the distance for her first attempt going a flat mile. There is plenty of speed in here to help her on a course that favors closers. The jockey change to Brian Hernandez is favorable too. She'll be totally forgotten at 20-1 morning-line odds.

Race 4: A full field of 12 is entered into this 6-furlong sprint on the main track. Krahenbuhl makes his debut for trainer Luis Mendez who already has one winner in first three starts at Keeneland. This son of Shackleford was training at the high elevation of Dixie Downs in St. George, Utah before being vanned to Lexington where he worked two bullets. He is my best bet at 10-1 morning-line odds.

Race 4: Trainer Mike Stidham brings this Hard Spun gelding up from Fair Grounds to run this dirt route going 1-1/16th miles. Guillaume is stepping up in class after a fading 6th place finish last out. The bettors will overlook his three straight solid works since which will likely equate to 5-1 or better come post time. Benson is the value play on Friday.

Race 7: Wayne Catalano had big hopes for this 3-year-old gelding when he took over training duties for Larry Jones back in October. Blue Kentucky drops into a very winnable spot in this small field of seven and a cold 0-for-17 Florent Geroux climbs back on where the combo won the last time they were paired together. Together once again, they win on Thursday.

Race 7: This Allowance goes 1-1/16th miles on the main track which may come up a bit damp on Wednesday. Chad Brown brings Stage Raider up from Florida for his second start off a long 10 month layoff. This 4-year-old colt stumbled at the start last out and lost to the highly touted Prevalence as the beaten favorite. Now he returns and adds blinks along with a brother switch from Jose to Irad Ortiz. I look for him to romp on humpday.

Race 6: Hoping this 9 panel Allowance stays on the lawn with the pending weather. If so, Graham Motion starts first time North America gelding King Vega who is 1 for 8 with 3 seconds in Great Britain before shipping over to the States late last year. Motion is good at spotting his horses at Keeneland and this one has been working well. He'll relish the soft going should the rain hit Lexington tonight and tomorrow morning. I like his chances at 8-1 morning-line odds.

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Sunday, April 10, 2022
Race 6: Chad Brown brings Arrobatic to Lexington for his second start in this 6-1/2 furlong sprint on the main track. This daughter of Arrogate was a winner in her debut at Gulfstream in February and the red hot Irad Ortiz keeps his mount. Brown wins at 26% when his horses win their last start.

The Bet: Race 6: $100 across the board on #5-ARROBATIC

Results: Bad start with no response. Loss of $300.

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Sunday, April 10, 2022
Race 3: Mike Maker ships M M M My Sharoana over from Oaklawn where this filly barely got out of the gate and jogged to a poor 6th place finish. Maker usually doesn't do well with firsters but he jumps to 20% with horses making their second start. This daughter of Liam's Map should relish the stretch-out and gets Luis Saez with 12-1 morning-line odds.

The Bet: Race 3: $20 across the board on #10-M M M MY SHAROANA

Results: Good effort, just short. Loss of $60.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9th - BLUE GRASS STAKES DAY

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Saturday, April 9, 2022
Race 6: The Appalachian Stakes goes a mile on the grass and features a compact field of eight. I am pointing toward Gainesway homebred Spendarella who comes to Lexington after wiring a field of 11 at Gulfstream last month. A jockey switch from Jose Ortiz to Tyler Gaffalione doesn't concern me. The turf course is likely going to be labeled Good which may benefit this daughter of Karakontie even more as his offspring demonstrate a liking for softer ground.

The Bet: Race 6: $100 across the board on #3-SPENDARELLA

Results: WINNER! Cashed for $400

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Saturday, April 9, 2022
Race 7: Brad Cox had himself a day yesterday and that should continue Saturday in the 7-furlong sprint Madison. Just One Time made her first effort as a 4-year-old a winning one in January at Gulfstream. She's been sharp in the mornings and has been pointed to this race for the last three months. I look for this Not This Time filly to run huge today.

The Bet: Race 7: $50 across the board on #4-JUST ONE TIME

Results: WINNER! Cashed for $335

Mr. K's Play of the Day for Friday, April 8, 2022
Race 4: Mr B and I clash opinions on our best bets today in this 1-1/16th mile Allowance. Skratch Kat ships in from Louisiana where she broke her maiden in her second start. One proven angle over the years is when the trainer makes an equipment change after a winning effort. Today, Phil Bauer adds blinkers even though his filly won convincingly last out. You're going to get a square price on Skratch Kat today as she is 4-1 on the morning-line.

The Bet: Race 4: $100 across the board on #9-SKRATCH KAT

Results: Made a run, backed-up. Loss of $300

Mr. K's Longshot of the Day for Friday, April 8, 2022
Race 8: Hoping they keep The Transylvania Stakes on the turf today despite the damp weather. Chad Brown brings Napoleonic War up from Florida to make his second start versus Stakes company. He broke his maiden at first asking going a mile at Tampa coming from behind and powering through the lane. This field of 6 is a salty bunch and I expect a close finish with Flavien Prat getting the best of them in the late going. I doubt you'll get the 15-1 morning-line on a Chad Brown horse no matter what the weather conditions.

The Bet: Race 8: $20 across the board on #2-NAPOLEONIC WAR

Results: Loss of $60
