Horse Racing picks for Keeneland race track on Sunday, October 22

There is plenty of great Horse Racing across America on Sunday, including at Keeneland race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and we are up +158.35 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Keeneland race track.

1:32 pm Keeneland (Race 2) – Flashy Lass 9/5 (2-star play)

Showed promise when delivering a six-and-three-quarter-length sixth in a maiden special weight over 6 furlongs at Ellis Park on debut at the start of August. The daughter of Street Sense took a step forward when racing from the front prior to fading late on when five-and-a-quarter-lengths third stepped up to a mile at the same venue 4 weeks later. Brad Cox’s filly remains open to improvement and looks capable of delivering a victory with Flavien Prat booked to ride.  

3:40 pm Keeneland (Race 6) – Leading Contender 7/5 (2-star play)

Down the field at Saratoga when making his sole start at 3, the son of Gun Runner showed improved form following a gelding operation when breaking his maiden over a mile at Monmouth Park in July. The 4-year-old went on to deliver a triple figure speed figure in finishing two-and-three-quarter-lengths second over a mile-and-one-eighth in a Saratoga allowance and he looks capable of helping trainer Chad Brown improve on his impressive 50% strike rate (4 of 8) at this meeting. 

4:12 pm Keeneland (Race 7) – Vergara 9/5 (2-star play)

A Listed winner at Kentucky Downs as a 3-year-old the pick went on to register her first victory of the season when successful by three-quarters-of-a-length in the Grade 3 Aristocrat Ladies Marathon over a mile-and-five-sixteenths at the same venue last month. Joel Rosario’s mount has placed in Grade 2 company in the past and the Noble Mission filly is selected to register a victory here following a 1:13.20 6-furlong work at Fair Hills just over a week ago.
