Ellis Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming
HE'S A CHARMER (6) Came on strongly when 2nd last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Should come to hand quickly. Deserves consideration. BOTH SIDES OF BAD (10) Produced an eye catching run when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Churchill Downs. Racing for a new trainer. In top form since coming back from a break. Among better hopes. MENDELSSTRONE (2) First time at the races 3yo by Mendelssohn for Eddie Kenneally and has a positive gate. Watch for a sign in the market. POSITIVE EQUITY (7) Initial appearance 3yo by Modernist for George Weaver. Watch the market.
