Congrats to the connections of Straight Line holding on to win as 2nd choice of 3-1 in a 6 horse field.  Wins on dirt, now wins on poly, when will we see him on the turf again?  Nice win today, gutsy horse.

Thanks, just got back, had a great time down there. Exciting to win at Keeneland and Straight Line ran a great race. I didn\'t see a horse all weekend win on the lead like that. He is really fresh and looking good, I have no clue as to what kind of # he ran, but it was visually impressive. Looking forward to Breeder\'s Day, he is going in the Ack Ack next, and he loves Churchill. Hope to catch up with everyone that weekend.

Congratulations on a very gutsy win. He fought off the closers the length of the stretch. It was great to see Harvey Vanier win another race at Keeneland.

When evaluating first-time Polytrack runners, give the Danzig sire lines an extra look.

This Polytrack might get interesting, Beyer was only a 90 for Straight Line, find that pretty low. But I also saw it coming, as the 1:22 looked very avg. compared to the other races. Be interesting to see #\'s out of this race, this product may have more value than ever on poly.

Ill,

i noticed a few of the winners yesterday had danzig blood.

remember, the $96 winner of the alcibiades was out of a boundary mare.
