Churchill Downs Race 8 - Bashford Manor S. Stakes
HE IS NO LIE (7) Dictated the tempo when winning by a margin of 8L last run at Santa Anita and fitter for debut run. Displays good tactical speed. Racing over extra ground. Won't be far away. TIGRADO (2) Was a comprehensive winner by 5L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and showing consistent performance in races. Going well this preparation and can find a nice position from the draw. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. CALL ME MICKY J. (3) Assumed control from the start when winning by 1 3/4L last time at Laurel Park and having second race start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Up to these. SARGENT BILKO (4) Resuming after a break. Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 1/4L last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Rising in trip. No shock to see a win.

Comprehensive victory when winning by 5L last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and honest performer putting a tidy record together. In good shape since returning from a spell. Serious contender.

Controlled the pace to win by 1 3/4L last time at Laurel Park and having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Going over more ground. Must respect.

Resuming. Found another gear when winning by a margin of 3 1/4L last time at this track and was a debutant last start. Racing over a longer distance. Solid claims.

Won by a big margin of 5 1/2L last time at this venue and was on debut last time. Won't be far away during the run. Entitled to be a big price.

First run back from a break. Strong effort to the line to win last start at Keeneland and having second race start. Flavien Prat is a suitable booking. Chances are slim.

Was much too speedy in front when winning by a margin of 8L last run at Santa Anita and having second career run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Genuine claims.

Spaced the field to win by a margin of almost 8L last time around here and was a debutant last start. Shows good early pace. Can take this out.

Back from a break. Finished well when winning last time at Keeneland and having second career run. First appearance for a new trainer and racing over more ground. Won't find this easy.
