SOL EMPOWERED had put together a solid string of allowance performances before stumbling after her stakes debut in April, just waiting for a bounce back to form.  ULTIMATE WASH will be making her 2020 debut after rebounding with an allowance win to close out 2019, she will be hoping to carry that success after a seven month layoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BK KENTUCKY STAR appears most likely to drop back early as her strongest outings have been races where she saved her energy for a late push, she started her stakes career finishing on the board in four before struggling in the last two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Kegger\u2019s Predictions<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Favourite<\/strong>: DISTORTED TORNADO (7\/2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Longshot Pick<\/strong>: BK KENTUCKY STAR (7\/1)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday, July 4, 2020 &#8212; 1:30:00 PM ESTBrazil \u2013 Open Stakes \u2013 Purse : $100,0005.5 Furlongs \u2013 Fast Dirt \u2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52378"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52378"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":52386,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52378\/revisions\/52386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
