Many happy to be back to Keeneland which is a favourite course of several friends.

The Ashland is the feature of the Friday card and it is Gr 1 for the 3yo fillies over 1700m.

Todd Pletcher saddles Curlin's daughter Nest in this and she's 2/1 with two of the other 7 runners on 5/2 – Interstatedaydream by Classic Empire and Happy Soul by Runhappy.  Brad Cox and Florent Geroux with the former and Chad Brown and Mario Franco with the latter.
