Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
CAPTAIN GABE (6) First up. Ran 2nd last run at Turfway Park. Displays good tactical speed. Is in good order and can run well. TORRE EIFFEL (1) Was strong late when 2nd last time around here and has minimal work to do from the gate. First race for a new trainer. This field suits. WINGFOOT (2) Improved to place when 3rd last start at this venue and can find a nice position from the draw. Racing for a new trainer. Respect in this event. LIFES REWARD (5) First up after 50 weeks and good run when placing 2nd first up last preparation at Keeneland. Good to see jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is jumping on. Looks promising in this race.

Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time here and will appreciate a good alley. Coming to a new trainer. Gets a chance against these.

Was $36.00 and fairly underwhelming when 9th last start at the track but was a debutant last start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Form will be tested here.

First up after 50 weeks and attacked the line when 2nd first up last preparation at Keeneland. More confidence with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr guiding the horse. Has a good chance.

Back from a break. Did well when 2nd last run at Turfway Park. Should muster plenty of early toe. Winning chance.

Didn't attack the line when 6th last time at this track. Should be included in your exotics.

Started at $9.00 and didn't find the line when 5th last run at Keeneland but having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Hard to see this being good enough.
