The highly regarded Warrior’s Reward is going off at underlaid morning data horse racing odds to win the Grade III Phoenix on Keeneland’s opening day this Friday, Oct. 8th.
Warrior’s Recompense, the Grade I Carter Handicap title-holder, definitely deserves favoritism in the Form III Phoenix, but he doesn’t deserve 5/2 favoritism. He’s a definite play against for the win slot in my mind.

Keeneland Racecourse – Friday
Where: Keeneland – Race 8
When: Oct. 8th, 2010 at 4:45 pm EST
TV: TVG
Phoenix Stakes (Grade III)
Purse $175,000. (Includes $25,000 – BC – Breeders’ Cup). For Three-Year-Olds And Upward.
6 furlongs over all-weather Polytrack
8 – Super Robusto – 15/1 morning line odds
Super Robusto has never blow over the Keeneland Poly but he’s 2 – for 2 over with the Arlington Car park Polytrack and he’s been training decently in the mornings. This horse isn’t as cheap as some muscle think as he was purchased for $140,000 at the 2007 Keeneland September Sale.
Trainer Wayne Catalano is an underrated horseman and there’s plenty of speed in this to set up his minute closing kick. At the horse racing odds, he’s the equal to think hither for the win money in this.
11– Canonize – - 4/1 morning line odds
TVG analyst and again trainer Ron Ellis saddles this son of Aldebaran in the Grade III Phoenix on Friday. Canonize has a 3-1-1 relate out of 5 lifetime races over all-weather surfaces meaning that she should have no issues handling the Keeneland Poly.
The horse is also 3 and 1 out of 4 races at this distance and has every right to win over the surface as the more highly touted Warrior’s Reward.
7 – Hollywood Occur to – - 4/1 morning line odds
I absolutely love the feelings shown by this brilliant 4-yearold gelding sired at near – Cactus Line. Hollywood Stumble has won 7 out of 13 lifetime races and finished 2nd in 3 of the rest of the 13.
He’s 5 and 2 out of 9 races at the distance, has been busting bullets in the morning, and loves the Polytrack surface having recorded 5 victories over Woodbine’s Poly up in Ontario.
He might also be the speed of the speed but hanging on for a victory might not be in the cards because he should be pressed from the outset. Still, if he keeps his horse racing odds, I’ll be tempted to put some money on this guy to win.
Horse Wagering Strategy
Super Robusto may look cheap on paper but all signs point to him running a beefy race in the Nz hack III Phoenix on Friday. He’s worth a shot to incline and place.
I will also frequency Wonderful Robusto in an exacta over Hollywood Hit, Canonize, and likely chalk 5-Warrior’s Reward.
Finally, I will bet a trifecta with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, 5-Warrior’s Guerdon, with Super Robusto, Canonize, Hollywood Hit, 5-Warrior’s Pay, 3-Wise Dan, 6-Moralist.
Good luck!
