COMMENTS: If PROMISE KEEPER breaks sharply, he could be tough to beat with the strongest late rush in this group. OLYMPIAD ran the top last race speed figure but regressed a little in his last. PROXY won his last running away and could be better in the second start after a layoff. CHESS CHIEF has five wins in 10 Fair Grounds races, zero in 21 elsewhere. RACE #10 $300,000 STAKES

COMMENTS: There is not a lot of early pace here. CALVARY CHARGE could sit right off the leader and move by at the wire. SACRED LIFE will be rolling from the back with the best late pace numbers in the field, worried about traffic. SANTIN is a half length and a neck from being undefeated in four.

Keeneland Select Derby Prep Hotlists
Saturday, March 26, 2022
By Matt Shifman and Bob Ehalt
The $1 million UAE Derby (G2), Meydan, Dubai – race 5 – The UAE Derby is a Kentucky Derby prep race at a distance of 1 3/16 miles that offers qualifying points of 100-40-20-10. Stateside the post time is scheduled for 10:10 a.m. EDT. Please note that these are saddle cloth numbers as listed in the Daily Racing Form and do not correspond to post positions.
(4) Azure Coast (PP-4) is unbeaten in three career starts. This Kentucky-bred son of Street Sense began his career in Russia as a 2-year-old after being purchased at Keeneland as a yearling. He moved to race at Meydan and won a seven-furlong allowance with a last to first move. He prepped for this race in the UAE 2000 Guineas (G3) which he also won with a late closing move. No doubt he will be making the last move going the added distance and maybe it will be the winning move. (11) Pinehurst (PP-6) was sent to the Middle East by Bob Baffert early in the winter after running second in the San Vicente (G2) behind Forbidden Kingdom. Last month in the Saudi Derby (G3) he won that one-mile race by a half-length. As a 2-year-old he had victories in his first two starts including the Del Mar Futurity (G1) and then was fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1). (13) Sekifu (PP-14) is Japanese-bred son of Henny Hughes who was second in the Saudi Derby in his 2022 debut and probably needed that race. He is from high profile Japanese connections who have made winning the Kentucky Derby a priority and they look to pick up the required qualifying points in here. (6) Combustion (PP-7) is a Japanese-bred son of Discreet Cat that is owned by Godolphin and will be ridden by international star William Buick. He made his 2022 debut last month and won the Hyacinth in Japan defeating the horse that leads the Japan points list to qualify for the Kentucky Derby. Betting strategy: Win: 4. Exacta box: 4, 6, 11, 13. Trifecta box: 4, 6, 11, 13.
The $1 million Louisiana Derby (G2), Fair Grounds, Race 12
12th race – (6) Epicenter was a sharp, front-running winner over this track in the Risen Star. He hails from a top barn and has been working sharply since then. The added sixteenth-of-a-mile distance should be within his scope, stamping him as the top pick here. (9) Rattle N Roll didn’t fire while making his 3-year-old debut in the Fountain of Youth, but that speed-favoring surface at Gulfstream Park probably didn’t suit him. He should turn in a better effort here. (3) Call Me Midnight caught Epicenter at the wire in the Lecomte, registering a 28-1 surprise. He hasn’t raced since then and with a spotty record of success, chances are he might bounce here. (2) Zozos makes his stakes debut after a huge allowance win and could make his presence felt in this field. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta and trifecta box: 2-3-6-9.Comment

Hot List Key:
A : A preferred horse to watch B: Secondary horse to watch
*C: Went down 2 or more betting notches in the final 3 minutes and finished 1st through 3rd
*D: Went down 2 or more betting notches and finished 4th or worse
* - 4 or more betting notches if 11-1 or more.
2nd race – (3) Ask for Bode tired in the stretch and finished third, ending a streak of two straight wins. Can revert to winning form here for new connections. (5) Allegedly Perfect returns to dirt and should be a factor here. (1) No Commission can pay off here while breaking from the rail. Betting strategy: 3 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3-5.
4th race – (2) Starlite Walker takes a class drop and looks best in this spot. (6) Reckless Place is another class dropper who merits attention. (1) Mr. Extension might appreciate the shorter distance here. (5) Hey Hombre returns to a claimer and deserves attention. Betting strategy: 2 to win, place. Exacta box: 2-6. Exactas: 2-6 over 1-5 and 1-5 over 2-6.
6th race – (1) Jazla (C) was bet down 7-5 to even money and then rallied for second. Should make amends for that setback here. (3) Frosted Faith has been second in his last three starts and can complete the exacta once again. (2) Griddles is a firster worthy of attention. (6) Double Play King flopped in the slop and will relish a dry track. Betting strategy: 1 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-3. Exactas: 1-3 over 2-6 and 2-6 over 1-3. Doubles: 1-2-3-6 with 4-5-6-10. Pick 3: 1-2-3-6 with 4-5-6-10 with 1-3-5-6.
7th race – (6) Mystic Eyes hasn’t raced since a stakes win in November. Seems ready for a successful 2022 debut. (5) American Starlet could be the star of the show in this field. (4) Artos has been absent since racing in June at Royal Ascot and will be a major factor if there’s no rust from the layoff. (10) Cardio Princess has speed and could be a threat despite an outside post. Betting strategy: 6 to win, place. Exacta box: 4-5-6-11. Doubles: 4-5-6-10 with 1-3-5-6.
8th race – (5) Bourbon Ready returns after a mediocre effort at Tampa Bay Downs. Looks like he’s ready to take a big step forward and post a maiden win. (1) Blinding Light is firster who can make his presence felt here. (6) Acamar also makes his debut and can make his presence felt. (3) R Admiral may enjoy smooth sailing in his initial start. Betting strategy: 5 to win, place. Exacta box: 1-5. Exactas: 1-5 over 3-6 and 3-6 over 1-5.

Keeneland Select Pick of the Day | March 26, 2022
March 25, 2022
Race 12 at Fair Grounds | Saturday March 26 | Post Time 6:44 PM Eastern
Louisiana Derby | Purse $1 Million | One Mile and Three-Sixteenths | Three Year Olds
Analysis and top 3 contenders to win:
Although Epicenter (6) possesses excellent early speed and may be the one to catch just as he was in the Risen Star Stakes five weeks ago, he could not hold off Call Me Midnight (3) four weeks earlier in the Lecomte Stakes over the track, and that is the scenario I foresee again in the Louisiana Derby. In the Lecomte, Epicenter established an easy lead on fairly brisk fractions but Call Me Midnight rallied from eighth of nine early and 12 lengths back, to get up by a head on the wire, earning a career-best 98 Equibase speed figure in the process. When Epicenter returned four weeks later to win the Risen Star Stakes, he once again led from start to finish, but just equaled the 97 figure earned in the Lecomte. In the Gun Runner Stakes on New Year’s Day, Epicenter also earned a 97 figure, so now has run just as fast but no faster in three straight races. That is not the optimal pattern for a three year old in the spring as we’d like to see improvement. However, given his potential “early pace” edge, Epicenter could run a career-best race in the Louisiana Derby.
On the other hand, Call Me Midnight, who was flattered when Lecomte runner-up Epicenter won the Risen Star, has been rested since near the end of January but shows every sign of being as fit as when last seen, having put in a half-mile workout at Fair Grounds seven days ago which was the second best of 110 on the day. As such, Call Me Midnight gets preference over Epicenter as the top contender to win this year’s Louisiana Derby and his 6 to 1 starting odds make him a great bet to win as well.
Then there’s Kupuna (5), who shares something in common with Call Me Midnight although they have never faced each other. Out of the Lecomte, not only did Epicenter return to win the Risen Star, but sixth place finisher Cyberknife returned to win impressively earlier on the same day as the Risen Star. Cyberknife earned a 100 figure winning that day, which was faster than Epicenter (97) later that day. Kupuna was second to Cyberknife in that race, earning a 95 figure which I think he can improve upon. Trainer Bred Calhoun won the 2019 Louisiana Derby with By My Standards at 22 to 1 odds and since this colt put in two brilliant five furlong drills over the track since that last race another potential upset is not out of the question and his eight to one starting odds are much better than 7 to 5 for Epicenter.
Honorable mention goes to Curly Tail (4). Although the colt just broke his maiden in his sixth career start, he leapfrogged to a 92 figure. That race on February 26 was his second following two months off and so an even better performance is possible. Trainer Dallas Stewart is another known for saddling horses for odds-beating efforts, most notably Out for a Spin in the 2019 Ashland Stakes at 50 to 1 odds, so I would not count Curly Tail (who opens at 30 to 1 odds) out when considering wagers involving this race.
Win bets:
Call Me Midnight (3) should be bet to win at odds of 3 to 1 or higher.
Kupuna (5) should be bet to win at odds of 5 to 1 or higher.
A win/place bet for at least a token amount like $2 may be considered for Curly Tail (4) at odds of 10 to 1 or higher.
Exactas:
Box Call Me Midnight (3), Kupuna (5) and Epicenter (6)
Then for the minimum $1 Box on Call Me Midnight (3), Curly Tail (4), Kupuna (5) and Epicenter (6).Comment
