Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
TRANSATLANTIC (1) Improved to place when 2nd beaten by 1 3/4L last time at this venue and drawn beautifully. Racing for a new trainer and promising career start. Every chance today. FREAKS GO (3) Looked good when 2nd last time at Keeneland but competing at a higher class. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Appears well in this. NO TIME LEFT (7) Made some ground late when 3rd beaten by 2L last start at the track but challenged by more formidable competitors. Change in trainer. Each way a good option. LEL DITTY (4) Moved ahead of some to finish 5th last run at Prairie Meadows but rising in grade. Been in the money frequently this campaign but dropping back to a shorter trip. Could go well at this level.

Kept running on late when 2nd last time at this venue and putting a tidy record together. First appearance for a new trainer and will appreciate a good draw. Strong chance to be considered.

Was competitive when 2nd last time at Keeneland but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has shown early pace in races to date. Expect a forward showing.

Overtook some late when 5th last run at Prairie Meadows but racing in stronger company. Has a great burst of speed late. Very competitive this preparation. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Was $6.50 and disappointing display when 5th last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and up against tougher rivals. Should be swooping on the field late. Watching with interest.

Zipped home into 3rd beaten by 2L last start at the track but challenged by a tougher grade. First start for a new trainer. Has a credible chance.

At $16.00 weakened under pressure when 7th last time at this track but competing at a lower grade. Very competitive this campaign. A threat to the other main hopes.
