A couple have looked real tough, several appear to have a decent shot, and a couple have just passed tired foes to get here. But they’re all shooting for the same thing – to be crowned the King of the Green as the champion of Keely’s Freshman Sire Series for turf runners. Several of them come from barely known sires, but the same cannot be said for the winner of this event. For they will be known for years to come as the winner of the second installment of this grass series.\u00a0 Good luck to all entered!<\/P>
