🧵 Keeneland Fall Meet Track Profile 2026
Three biases stand out headed into Breeders' Cup weekend:
• Posts 1-3 won 47% of dirt routes
• 41% of dirt sprints were won by posts 7+
• Posts 4-6 won 43% of turf routes
See what else to note in Lexington this Friday & Saturday ⬇️
Not letting the closing running style of Nakatomi be a factor when sitting at 30-1. There’s enough early pace to set up a rally off the leaders like in his last start.
Closers have done just fine, winning 3 of the 7 dirt sprints Breeders Cup weekend here at Keeneland.
With how hot this pace looks to be in the Turf Sprint, if Cy Fair can settle behind those front runners, she shouldn’t have an excuse pressing into them.
Upgrading coming out of that Kentucky Downs race where she was in post 1, not an easy ask.
A few things stood out from Breeders Cup Friday:
• Posts 1-3 won 2 of 3 dirt routes, that’s in line with the Fall Meet where they won 45% of races.
• Stalkers were 2-for-3 in turf routes, they had the most wins by running style in the Fall Meet.
Turf Routes
Posts 4-6 finished as the top post group at 43% after starting the meet 1-for-6. In week four, they were 3-for-6.
Stalkers finished first by running style at 39%, with early runners and closers tied at 30%.
