Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
HARBE (9) First up after a 26 week break. Was getting tired late when 4th last start at Keeneland. Ben Curtis consistently performs well for this stable. Won't be far away. LASTING LEGACY (10) Racing as a debutant 3yo by Connect for trainer Dallas Stewart. Watch betting. VINO DOMINUS (12) First up today. Disappointing display when 11th last time at Turfway Park and back to a shorter distance. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide alley. Respect. JOE'S CANDY (3) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by over 3L last run at Fair Grounds. Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly. Expect to go close.

Started at $16.00 and finished 4th last time at Oaklawn Park but has drawn the rails. Place best.

Jumped at $43.00 and made up ground when 5th last time at Keeneland and fitter for debut run. Will try to take advantage of the barrier. Seems very unlikely.

Started at $28.00 and weakened to finish 8th last start at Turfway Park. First appearance for a new trainer. Does take a while to get into stride. Betting is the best guide.

Fresh today. At $10.00 weakened under pressure when 10th last time at Turfway Park but having second race start. Gets back and needs luck. Will be down in distance. Hard to warm to.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of $5.50 and was nothing special when 11th last time at Turfway Park and down in distance. Definite claims.
