Disdainful at Keeneland Tomorrow

Good morning, all! We got the detailed pre-race analysis from Aron this morning, and Disdainful will be running against some absolute monsters tomorrow in the 5th at Keeneland, including a couple of proven stakes horses! Still, the mood seems to be quiet confidence, and we don't think he'd be entered in this race if there wasn't a lot of optimism about his chances, so we'll see how he performs against some extremely talented and top-bred horses. 

It's also a huge plus that John Velazquez is up--a hall-of-famer and one of the top jockeys in the country. John has won the Kentucky Derby three times, the Belmont at least twice, as well as at least 15 Breeders Cup races! We couldn't have asked for a better pilot on Disdainful's US debut. 

All systems are go provided it doesn't rain. If it rains, the race will come off the turf course and go onto the main dirt track, and Disdainful will be scratched. Rain is not in the forecast, however. 

As for us, we're just praying for a safe race for him, wherever he finishes, but if he runs well, we'll, of course, be absolutely ecstatic! 

We'll keep you posted.
