Tyler Gaffalione will ride Olympiad in Saturday's Longines Classic at Keeneland. Rich Strike galloped once around under Gabriel Lagunes for trainer Eric Reed. Bob Baffert hopes Taiba can replicate what his stablemate Medina Spirit did at Del Mar. Flightline is the favorite.  Olympiads and Life Is Good are the other frontrunners. The winner will be decided by a $6 million purse. It will start from post 7. Junior Alvarado will take the mount. There is a 10-1 morning line. Olymp's last win was in Saratoga's Jockey Club Gold Cup on Sept. 3.
