Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
SLADE (5) Brendan P Walsh trained 2yo by Street Sense having first start. Watch for a sign in the market. RICCELLI (10) In the money when 2nd last time at Del Mar and fitter for debut run. Bob Baffert stable are on fire recently. Among better hopes. OREN'S FLYER (4) Initial appearance 2yo by Liam's Map for trainer Jr Thomas Drury. Respect the betting. FIESTABOWLFOREMIKE (3) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time at Ellis Park and having second career run. Jaime A Torres and D Whitworth Beckman are an appealing combination. Worth a ticket.

Strong effort to run into 3rd beaten by 2L last time at Ellis Park and was on debut last time. Always seems to find the line well. Drawn nicely. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last time at Ellis Park and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Rates as one of the key chances.

First run back after a break. Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by just short of 8L last run around here and fitter for debut run. Going up in trip. Solid prospects.

Odds of $18.00 and gave away some ground when 5th last run at Saratoga but having second race start. Should be going forward early. Slim hope.

Honest race when 2nd last time at Del Mar and was a debutant last start. Recent form of the stable is strong. Strong prospects in this race.
