Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
DON'T STOP (1) Despite being out sprinted still placed 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start here and gets the perfect alley. This field suits. DR SCHUSTER (4) Kicked clear when winning by 5 1/2L last time at this venue and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Must respect in this event. CYCLONE (5) First up after 39 weeks and ran on strongly when 2nd first up last preparation at Churchill Downs. Luis Antonio Gonzalez is a plus but back to a shorter distance. No shock to see a win. SUMMERFEST (3) Good run when placing 2nd beaten by 3 3/4L last start at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Keep in mind.
