Big Picture showed a steady worktab for his debut,
including a 1:00 3/5 five-furlong bullet at Keeneland
June 7. Sent off as the 2-1 lukewarm choice, the
$20,000 KEESEP yearling was sent to the lead by Mark
Guidry. Allowed to set :22.53, :45.46 and 1:09.17
fractions, the bay had plenty left for the stretch, cruising
home to a nine-length tally while missing the track
record by one second. Land Mine completed the exacta
at odds of 7-2. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $29,475.
