CHURCHILL DOWNS

POST-SCRATCHES

3rd: CLM, 4+, 7f (.20 P6, P3, DD)

$385k Must Pay P6 C/O starts here..

You know I’m a sucker for the triple whammy and Boyd Crowder adds a few more to the karma moves dropping down, cutting back, going turf to dirt and putting blinkers on. Plus Walsh reaches for his go to guy in Lanerie..

Next Best: #7 Tiznoble 5-1

FAIR GROUNDS

PRE-SCRATCHES

7th: MSW, 3yo-F, 1m-T (P3, DD)

Proctor stretches out Aspening and she’ll appreciate it; Real Sister has enough turf in her pedigree to take to it and at 15-1 the price is right; Firster Maybe Wicked from dangerous Cox is a full to turf tigress Mizzcan’tbewrong (5 W’s, $178k) & GSW and G1 placed Money’soncharlotte..

AQUEDUCT

POST-SCRATCHES

7th: 63rd Stymie, 4+, 1m (P4, P3, DD)

Treacherous start to the all stakes P4. Hit It Once More will make the lead but is going to face more pace pressure than in Haynesfield win. Davis will want to maneuver Harlan Punch (back on shortest rest yet) to Hit It’s outside and we’ll see how much of a duel develops. 10-1 Fellowship comes to town and should enjoy an excellent stalking trip outside the pacesetters. The rest of the field will get opportunities to make their runs and entire group is separated by less than 3 lengths on paper..

Most Likely: #5 Watershed 6-1 4th
Best Value: #7 Fellowship 10-1 5th

Nootka Sound, last seen when 9-2 at Royal Ascot in 22 horse Windsor Castle, would figure to best these if she comes back running. And won’t be 9-2 today. If it’s not her, this becomes a mad scramble..
