Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
MILITARY CRUISER (12) sets the tone from the wide draw after leading throughout when 3rd at Keeneland over 1106m, beaten 2.3L, and brings a prior Churchill 1006m maiden win. DOUBLE TALKER (6) was 3rd at Keeneland over 1106m, 3.5L off the winner, and maps to stalk. ROSE RULER (10) surged from off the pace to score by 3L at Keeneland over 1106m last start and looks progressive. TATERPIE (9) also comes off a last‑start 1106m Keeneland maiden win, settling midfield before finishing best. FRONTIER JUSTICE (8) wasn’t far away when 4th in the same Keeneland 1106m race as Double Talker and has upside at the trip.
