The seven-day live racing meet at Kentucky Downs has been full of dynamic action and huge payouts. For example, the 50-cent late pick 4 on September 10 paid $5525.63 and the 50-cent late pick 5 paid $20,559.61. That, my friend, is some real cheddar. On day six there will be more likely large payouts. We understand there are more races run for more money with higher ramifications, but for a turf writer from Tennessee, one race we always target for supreme importance is of course The Music City Stakes.

Sponsored by Nelson’s Greenbriar Tennessee Whiskey, this race is run at six and a half furlongs ( a little over 3/4 of a mile) and is restricted to three-year-old fillies. So, how do we make a little cheese on this one? I like Bubble Rock to win. Trained by Brad Cox and ridden by Florent Geroux, this daughter of More Than Ready has three wins in seven-lifetime starts and has finished in the money six times. In an effort to obtain some low-risk high-yield Colby Jack let’s play a 10-cent superfecta box. To fill out that, we like Koala Princess, Majestic d’Oro, and Happy Soul. Numbers wise that is 4, 8, 11,12.

The Music City Stakes is carded as race 9 with an expected post time of 4:57 pm.

Back a horse and get paid !!!
