Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
I LIKE TO PARTY (5) Racing as a debutant 2yo by Life Is Good for trainer Brian A Lynch. Watch the market moves. BOSS (3) 2yo by Speaker's Corner racing as a debutant for Norm W Casse. Watch the betting. CANDOR (6) 2yo debutant by Authentic for trainer Dallas Stewart. Jockey Mario Gutierrez is a bonus. Watch early betting. WITH YOU (2) Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd beaten by over 12L last start at Keeneland and was on debut last time. Expecting to settle positively. Winning hope.

Jumped at $28.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last time at Keeneland but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the rear. Has drawn to do little work. This will pose a challenge.

Felt the pinch late when 3rd last start at Keeneland and having second race start. Won't be far away during the run. Drawn nicely. Strong prospects in this race.

Good effort to run 2nd beaten by 2 3/4L last start at Keeneland and was a debutant last start. Others much better.

2yo by Authentic on debut for Dallas Stewart. Jockey Mario Gutierrez is a strong choice aboard. Market as guide.
