And it's on turf with a field of 11.

Good Friday isn't a holiday in the States as we discovered once when trying to persuade a traffic cop that surely the "No Standing" didn't apply on Good Friday and we were told he didn't celebrate Easter and "Move it" (we did).

So they are racing at Keeneland and the highlight of the afternoon is the Gr 1 Mile.  Current favourite is Smooth Like Strait who has a last 5 start record of 12222 so Mike McCarthy may be praying for a win.  Chad Brown, always to be respected with turf runners, has Moser on 4/1 and Paolo Lobo has two – Ivar on 6/1 and In Love on 10/1.  Ivar has a Gr 1 win over C&D so could have a good chance, and cricket fans might recognise the initials of the Mater Blaster Viv Richards -I V A R.
