Check out my Wednesday (4-8-26) Keeneland Race 5 analysis below.
KEE 5 (Alw-150k, 4&up, 8.5T) – Post Time 3:08 PM ET
Primary – #2 DRESDEN ROW, #3 Theismann
Secondary – #5 Integration, #1 Andthewinneris
Horse Comments:
#2 Dresden Row (9-2) fired trifecta shots in all 15 starts and was last seen winning the Autumn (G3) on all weather ground at WO (November 2025). Todd Pletcher is his new trainer and he adds lasix and Flavien Prat takes the call. This one sold for $525k earlier this year and he fired a 5f bullet for this March 13.
#3 Theismann (7-2) had his 3-race win streak snapped when setting the pace and weakening to 6th of 11 in the Colonel Bradley at FG Jan. 17. He wired the field in a local allowance affair at this distance last fall. He reconnects with his winning rider Luis Saez and he should be right up on the pace.
#5 Integration (6-5) captured the Red Smith (G2) in 2024 and placed in four Grade 1 races last year. He hit the board in both local turf starts and is 1-for-1 at this distance. This is his first start since August 2025 and he is using this as a prep for upcoming stakes starts. He drilled a half-mile bullet for this March 31.
#1 Andthewinneris (8-1) won two local turf races in 2022 including the Bourbon (G2). He captured the Texas Turf Mile in 2023 and the Knickerbocker (G3) on 2024. He missed all of 2025 and was 5th of 8 in his much needed all-weather route return at TP Feb. 27. Wayne Catalano is a profitable 17% with his turf starters and this one drilled a local 5f bullet on March 20.
