Early Speed had a great first time visit to Kentucky Downs.

@bigbluegoose Hard to admit as a Kentuckian … but best horse racing experience in the US.

[Scott Hertel @ESPStatman]

@SpeedEarly Interesting concept. Sounds like we have our Labor Day plans at Kentucky Downs!!!

Value in William Walker Stakes (CD R10) … fav vulnerable after career top last out in return from layoff.

Like the #5 No Nay Hudson from the Wesley Ward barn at a solid price.
