Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Allowance Optional Claiming
FEMINISM (1) impressed on debut, leading and scoring by 2.8L over 1207m at Oaklawn Park and draws the rail to repeat. WHERE LUCK LIVES (5) is a key chance after making all to win a 1308m Maiden at Keeneland by 1.3L. FRENCH BLUE (11) brings solid credentials, a Santa Anita 1207m Maiden winner before a 3rd in a 1710m Stakes and a recent Churchill 1308m run. Kayla’s Komet (4) also rates in the mix off a last-start Fair Grounds 1207m Maiden win by a neck. WOODSTOCK (8) has Stakes placings at 1207m and can run on. The leading hopes are Feminism (1), Where Luck Lives (5), French Blue (11), and Kayla’s Komet (4).
