Check out my Sunday (4-12-26) Keeneland Race 7 analysis below.

KEE 7 (Giant’s Causeway, F&M, 5.5T) – Post Time  4:12 PM ET
Primary – #7 IN OUR TIME, #11 Time to Dazzle
Secondary – #10 Saturday Flirt, #13 Shining Star

Horse Comments:

#7 In Our Time (5-1) turns back in distance and has sprinted successfully in the past. She wired the field in a turf sprint at KD last September, and she battled on the pace and held the place in the G2 Franklin at this course and distance last fall. She set the pace and finished second to Saturday’s G1 Jenny Wiley winner Segesta in the G1 Matriarch last November, and she set the pace from post 11 and weakened to 9th of 12 as the beaten favorite in the G1 Pegasus F&M Turf Jan. 24. Flavien Prat takes the call and he is 5-for-9 with Saffie Joseph, Jr.

#11 Time to Dazzle (6-1) was a respectable 4th of 13 in a G2 turf sprint in Saudi Arabia last time. She looked good beating In Our Time in the local G2 Franklin last fall.

#10 Saturday Flirt (8-1) is 2-for-2 at KEE. Wesley Ward’s patient filly won her last three starts and this is her first outing since September 2025. She drilled a local 5f turf bullet for this April 4. 

AE #13 Shining Star (3-1) looked good winning all three turf sprints as the favorite since moving to the Brad Cox barn. She loses lasix and needs a scratch to get in from the also-eligible list. She is 7-for-9 overall and should be forwardly placed if she runs here.
