Labor Day is in the books and the heat and humidity of summer are starting to subside a bit. It won’t be long until the autumn scenes of Keeneland fill my head, and Breeders’ Cup will be on every racing page in the land. – Oh what a great time to be a handicapper, but rest assured. There is still plenty of top-notch racing to watch and wager ! – Here are some runners you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled the next time they take the track.
