Friday at Keeneland went brilliantly: Libertango, Sun Goddess and Haffner all won, and the European turf horses loved the track. Part two takes that into Saturday's nine Grade 1s. All times UK.
5:48pm Turf Sprint: Comanche Brave
Donnacha O'Brien's sprinter won the July Cup and the Flying Five, back-to-back Group 1s, and likes a strong pace on fast ground. Wesley Ward's Bacio is the danger.
7:04pm Filly & Mare Turf: Blue Bolt
Andrew Balding's filly is unbeaten in six this year, with four Group 1 miles in a row. Precise is the main rival.
7:42pm Sprint: T O Elvis
The Japanese raider won a Grade 1 at Churchill Downs over this trip by a wide margin. Englishman is the one to beat.
8:58pm Distaff: Fully Subscribed
Chad Brown's mare has won her last three, including the Spinster here at Keeneland. Champion Nitrogen is the favourite.
10:16pm Classic: Forever Young
Last year's winner is back after wins in the Saudi Cup and the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Sovereignty, the 2025 Kentucky Derby winner, is the big rival.
