Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance
HE'S LATE AGAIN (5) looks the one to beat dropping back to 1709m after winning the Fair Grounds Stakes over 1710m on 22 Mar, then finishing 6th at Evangeline Downs over 1609m. FACT (3) rates as the main danger, with a close 2nd at Gulfstream Park over 1609m on 14 Mar before tackling a tougher Allowance at Keeneland. QUALITY MISCHIEF (2) has the blinkers on and returns to a track where he broke his maiden over 1674m, with earlier Fair Grounds Stakes runs of 4th and 5th providing a base to improve back in trip.
