Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
SIR CADEN (1) Brad H Cox trained 2yo by Connect having first race start and has drawn the rails. Good to see Jr Marcelino Pedroza is jumping on. Watch the market. WHITBURN (6) Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd last run at Presque Isle Downs and having second career run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Serious player. I LIKE BEER (5) 2yo debutant sired by Sioux Nation for Brendan P Walsh. Market as guide. RUETTIGER (2) Made up ground when 4th last start at this venue and having second career run. Does take a while to get into stride. Has a good draw. Capable of a running a place.

Started at $28.00 and hit the line well when 5th last time at Kentucky Downs and fitter for debut run. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by nearly 7L last run at Presque Isle Downs and having second career run. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Commands respect.

Odds of $18.00 and finished 6th last run at the track. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Rough chance.

Was $14.00 and clearly outclassed when 6th last start at this track but was a debutant last start. Racing over extra ground. Facing a difficult task today.

Jumped at $23.00 and was ordinary when 7th last time at Churchill Downs but was a debutant last start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Could be in the mix.
