Today’s free race

Keeneland — Race 9

Post 5:16 PM ET · 7 Furlongs · Dirt · RavenRun-G2

The pick: #9 Mashallah (8/5)

Brendan P Walsh · Tyler Gaffalione

Named sheet edge: leads BOTH graphs — E1 rank 1 (96%) and blended late-graph leader (LP rank 1, 83%) for Brendan Walsh/Tyler Gaffalione in the Raven Run; she controls the pace scenario as the clear E and still owns the best finish, matching the early-speed-leaning Keeneland dirt-sprint trend (41%).
