Donegal Racing's KEEN ICE (Curlin), last year's GI Travers S. upsetter, makes his first start for trainer Todd Pletcher, having been previously conditioned by Dale Romans. The bay colt was seventh in Meydan's G1 Al Maktoum Challenge-Round 3 Mar. 5 before checking in eighth behind California Chrome (Lucky Pulpit) in the G1 Dubai World Cup three weeks thereafter. Keen Ice was given time to recover from a cannon bone fracture discovered shortly after he joined Pletcher's barn, and he fired back-to-back bullets for this blinkers-off return run. TJCIS PPs
