Analyst Marcus Hersh has provided various handicapping predictions and race selections for the Keeneland racing cards in October 2026. Initial analysis for the October 23 card identified Lush Lips as the top selection for the eighth race, noting her return to form following a previous injury. Other horses mentioned in the assessment included Expensive Queen and Mandanaba. Earlier predictions for the October 14 and October 15 cards identified Lucky Shot as the best bet for the 14th, citing improved performance and trainer success. For the 15th, Eat Hay Run was selected as the best bet due to previous turf performance. Other runners analyzed during this period included Heavenlyconveyance, Show Time, Ageeba Beach, and Silbury Hill. For the October 18 card, Hersh identified Smart N Centsible as the top selection for the fourth race, noting that despite a poor turf debut, the horse shows “encouraging dirt workout patterns.” Other projected finishers for that race included Munningsredprince and Croatoan. Additionally, for the first race, Hersh suggested No What Ifs could potentially outperform the favored Carol’s Melody based on the mare’s previous capabilities at Keeneland. For the October 21 and October 22 cards, Hersh identified Go Missy Go as the top selection for the third race on the 21st, following a strong gallop-out in its debut. Other projected finishers for that day included Fair Practice, Lady Lichi, Nickyb, Pop and Locke, and Black Jacket Crazy One. For the October 22 card, American Pearl was named the best bet for the seventh race due to strong recent workouts and fitness. Other projected finishers included Newtown Pike and Atropa, while Keen Gal was expected to perform well in the first race following a trainer change. As the month progressed, analysis shifted toward the Breeders’ Cup racing card scheduled for October 31 at Keeneland.
