Joe Talamo Says:

Santiva heads a field of twelve 3-year-olds for Saturdays $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. Santiva finished second to Mucho Macho Man in the G2 Risen Star at the Fair Grounds February 19, his first start of 2011. King Congie has three wins on grass but two poor showings on natural dirt, and turf horses usually run well on the Keeneland Polytrack, but he is coming off a two month layoff. Joes Blazing Aaron, Queensplatekitten, and Newsdad are the one-two-three finishers of the G3 Palm Beach at Gulfstream which was run on the grass. Brilliant Speed finished a neck behind King Congie in his last race. Wilkinson is the winner of the G3 LeComte at the Fair Grounds but did poorly in the Louisiana Derby, but had a bad break last time and found himself farther back than he normally would be - maybe his luck will change this time. Crimson China has finished first or second in all of his four career starts, including a second place finish most recently in the Rushaway at Turfway Park. Sensational Slam, Twinspired, Wilcox Inn, Praetereo complete the lineup.
