Today's Horse Racing Picks:

KEENELAND Race #ONE (1:15 PM Eastern)

(# 4) MR. CHAMP - Drops into a claimer for the first time and cuts back in distance for the occasion. $210,000 son of "Mr. Greeley" is in for $30K today. Mott is having an outstanding year. The horse to beat.

(# 10) Stalwart Woodsman - Ran third at this distance in last over conventional dirt at Churchill for $50,000. Ran well and was well received at the windows earlier this season at Gulfstream. The horse to fear.

(# 8) Greeley's Voice - Well bet in all three outings for the top Eric Reed outfit. Drops back to a sprint after going long on the grass at Kentucky Downs, and also makes his first appearance in a claimer.

(#'s 5 and 11) Thunderbolt in May and Great Compos - For the bottoms of tris and or supers.

(# 1) BULLET PROFF MAN - Goes off a two-month rest for trainer Anthony Pecoraro. Showed good front-end ability at Calder earlier this season, and presume he'll use his inside post to good advantage here.

(# 4) Falmouth - Uncoupled stablemate of the top pick, he has a fine stalking gear. Latest at Laurel was good, and provides something for him to build on.

(# 2) Catoctin Creek - Ran second in last here at this price and distance. Winner of that event isn't much, and this horse should have run better than he did at 2-5 odds. Contender, but holds no real advantage.

(# 7) Nothinupdanssleeve - Recent sprint at Penn National against straight maidens should set him up well for the distance try today. Did well at Woodbine over the poly surface there and may fare o.k. here.

(# 1) SLADE - Claimed out of his last by Tim Ritchey, and he looks like he got him at the right time. Lightly raced this season, he easily won his last when stretched out in distance. Can make it two in a row.

(# 2) Mint Slewlep - Goes third off a layoff, and colt looks well setup for this attempt by trainer Robert Bailes. Has a nice work at homebase of Bowie.

(# 5) En El Fuego - Very easy win in his first attempt for trainer Paul McLelland. Race was over the poly surface at brand-new Presque Isle Downs.

(# 7) Coyoteshighestcall - Another who is coming back from Presque Isle after trainer Scott Lake reached in and claimed him. Horse is a retake by Lake after he lost him for one race.

(# 6) NOON DAY - One of a pair from trainer George "Rusty" Arnold, and they will race uncoupled. Good debut run at Arlington Park saw her get up late for second. Working well over the poly surface here since that race.

(# 5) Miss Triss - The "other" Arnold runner. Comes back off a two-month rest after doing well in three starts earlier this season. Working fast at Churchill for this, she should show fresh speed and be in front early.

(# 9) Satin Rose - Calhoun is one of the best trainers in the country. Excellent debut at Remington Park, and trainer adds blinkers, a 30% move for him.

(# 12) Strike Out - Debuts for trainer Patrick Biancone off a series of eye-popping works over the track here. Obviously she can run, but don't know if she's fully cranked.
