Horseshoe Indianapolis - Race #6
Horseshoe Indianapolis - Race #1
| #5 REAL NAUGHTY (9-2) | Really likes to win, could get the jump on main contenders off fast works. |
| #4 HEALING WATERS (9-5) | Second to favored repeater at this level, carries light weight. |
| #6 EXPLOSIVELY (3-1) | Made moves, finished in the money in last four starts at 6F. |
| Race Summary | REAL NAUGHTY has speed, travels well, loves to win and fits today’s race conditions well in his bid to top $200,000 in earnings. He won at four tracks and various distances in the last two years and ran well off a two-month freshening last July. Bet to win and place and play a $1 Pick 3 with numbers 4, 5/ALL/3 (Cost $12). |
| #3 HOW ABOUT ABBY (9-2) | Awakened in second start back, third to allowance repeater, today’s Best Bet. |
| #4 TRAMUNTANA (15-1) | Pressed pace for a half mile from post 11 in ‘key’ 7F dirt sprint at Churchill. |
| #6 R BEE GEE (8-1) | Troubled third with blinkers on in same spot, but failed as follow-up favorite. |
| Race Summary | HOW ABOUT ABBY made a quick move between rivals on the final turn at 7-1/2F, flattened out a bit in the stretch but finished willingly for third behind the odds-on winner. If the 5-year-old shows similar improvement in her third start off a 2-year layoff, she could graduate. Bet to win and place and play a 3-ALL exacta. |
| #4 REITERATION (9-2) | Ideal spot to upgrade runner-up finishes if ready after long layoff. |
| #8 COSTLY PASS (5-1) | Winless two years since MSW romp, starts for new connections. |
| #2 SLINK (7-2) | Projects good trip, beat top one, but shorter price with 1-for-29 record not worth it. |
| Race Summary | REITERATION exits the allowance ranks off a year layoff. He’s 1-for-21, but he fits well on his best day and has a win and five runner-up finishes in 11 starts for this barn. Bet to win and place and play a 4, 8 with 2, 4, 8, 10 exacta. |
