Handicapping the 2022 Blue Grass Stakes Day at Keeneland

Chad Lashbrook

It’s springtime in the Bluegrass, and opening weekend of the Keeneland spring meet is upon us. Spring in Kentucky is the most diverse of seasons. 37 degrees and sunny one day. 68 degrees and rainy with 20mph winds the next. Unfortunately for participants and fans, the weather will be the headline story this weekend. A mix of snow and rain with significant wind fills the opening Saturday forecast. Track condition will play a primary role in determining the outcome of the races, and finding horses that can adequately handle the off going will be the key to wagering success.
