Check out my Wednesday (10-7-26) Keeneland Race 6 analysis below.

Scratches (race 6): #1 – Rando, #7 Ballerina d’Oro

Updated Tickets After Scratches:

KEE 6 (OC-80k/2x, F&M, 1 1/16 miles dirt) – Post Time 3:40 PM ET
Primary – #2 CLAIRITA, #6 Union Mist
Secondary – #3 Amarth

Horse Comments:

#2 Clairita (4-1) was the beaten favorite in a turf route last time. She is back on preferred ground and Phil Bauer is a profitable 26% with horses moving from turf to dirt. She won twice in dirt routes at CD including a front running score May 17, and she hit the board in both local attempts.

#6 Union Mist (2-1 was part of the trifecta in six of her last seven dirt attempts. She likes this distance (10 2-1-4) and her last win was at KEE at 1 1/6 miles in April. She beat Clairita by a neck that day under Wednesday’s rider Tyler Gaffalione.

#3 Amarth (6-1) adds blinkers and reconnects with Jose Ortiz. She won back-to-back races at CD and KEE in 2024 and has dropped all 11 starts since (4 minor awards).
