Kegger’s Picks

Holeshot – SILENT CONCERT – Went wire to wire in his marathon debut (14F) last time out. He might not be a contender to hold on, but he should have a good shot at setting the early pace.

Kegger’s Favourite – TSONOKWA – Came up just short in his last two races, both 2nd place graded finishes, it looks like he has found the right field to get the elusive graded win.
