Turfway Park Race 9 - Animal Kingdom S. Stakes
HOMETOWN BOUND (8) First run back from a break. Set the tempo when winning by a margin of 1 1/4L last run around here and back in an easier grade. Can go on with it. LONGSHOREMAN (3) Resuming. Showed strength on the speed initially before fading at the end 2nd last run at Aqueduct and lining up against easier rivals. Should muster plenty of early toe. Has to be included. SMALL TOWN (1) Tailed off to finish 6th last start at this track. Has the talent to rebound quickly and drawn well. Will be down in distance. Rates an each way chance. ARCHIMEDES (4) Just missed last time at Fair Grounds but matched against a stronger field. Change in trainer. Performing honestly this campaign. Added confidence jockey with Irad Ortiz Jr doing the steering. Can't be left out of exotics. Something for the Multiples: MOM'S SPAGHETTI (6) OUTFIELDER (7)

Started at $4.33 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last start here. Has the talent to rebound quickly and will appreciate a good draw. Back to a shorter distance. Can figure in the finish.

At $18.00 folded up in the straight when 5th last start at Oaklawn Park and matched against tougher rivals. Very competitive this preparation. Needs to improve.

Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 3 1/2L last time around here but up against a more competitive field. Expected to be flashing home. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Resuming after a break. At $16.00 subpar when 14th last run at Del Mar but competing in an easier class. John R Velazquez rates highly aboard but down in distance. Needs to find a lot more.

Back after a spell. Gave them all something to chase when winning by 1 1/4L last run here and up against a less challenging field. Displays good tactical speed. Strong prospects.
