Keen Ice -- what type of odds should we expect from him?

Certainly not the 15-1, my guess would be 8-1?

You'll get plenty better than 8-1.

The odds Steve posted are pretty spot on assuming the top 3 all run. I think I will be keying Keen Ice also at this point. Looks like Irad will be aboard.

If the Classic field stays intact, I don't see where he's under 12-1 IMO.

Found this from March when I was in Vegas. Only survivors are AP, Tonalist, and Honour Code.

Stopchargingmaria

Steady rain was falling when the track opened this morning creating some changes in workout schedules most notably for STOPCHARGINGMARIA who went at 6:00 a.m. instead of after the break and couldn't have been any more impressive breezing over a track that did tighten down considerably because of the weather conditions. She went a half in company with Catron in 46.91, out 5/8's in 58.80, up 1:11.92 and did it all in hand. Trainer Todd Pletcher said by text afterward he had an "insane gallop out" when asking to verify the times of the work.

Questions seem to be accruing for Victor Garcia & SMOOTH ROLLER, who despite arriving with Beholder, has put off any vigorous work with the Awesome Again winner day after day..

Just wants to draw into the race and get his name on the program maybe? Odd to just jog and not gallop at least.

Another curiously easy morning for Smooth Roller
Jay Privman , Keeneland , 2015-10-26 - DRF Live Posted : 1hr 37mins ago

Smooth Roller continues to have easy mornings here. He merely jogged again today, with bell boots on. He hasn't even galloped since his arrival, and now won't work here prior to the BC Classic, which means his last work will have been Oct. 17 at Santa Anita.

He worked twice between races of Aug. 26 and Sept. 26, when he won the Awesome Again, and has had two works since that race. But this doesn't seem the ideal way to come into a 1 1/4-mile race against the likes of American Pharoah, Beholder, Honor Code, and Tonalist, all of whom have had a regular series of works heading into the Classic.

Trainer Victor Garcia's response when I asked about the lack of a work here was that the five-furlong work at Santa Anita, with a strong gallop out to a mile, was sufficient.

"He doesn't need that much," Garcia said. "Plus it's been raining, so I don't want to take a chance."
