Rating:




#2 BOURBON THUNDER (ML=6/1)
#5 LEGIONNAIRE (ML=8/1)
BOURBON THUNDER - Be loyal to this horse. Coming off the pace, I think he'll be in a wonderful spot to demolish them in the stretch. This horse looks like a possible overlay in this field at morning odds of 6/1. Finished fourth in last race at Churchill Downs but was close at the wire. LEGIONNAIRE - Last race out, finished ninth on the soft turf at Keeneland. Expect better right here. Last time around the track, ran the last quarter in less than 25 ticks. A good sign he can close well, and should be right there at the finish this time.
Vulnerable Contenders: #6 BEN DIESEL (ML=5/2), #1 GRANTHAM (ML=7/2), #3 CLASSIC MOMENT (ML=4/1),
BEN DIESEL - This less than sharp equine will likely be at the back of the pack as this bunch crosses the finish. GRANTHAM - This young horse isn't going to beat the veterans today, maybe another time. Ran long ago on Mar 12th. We should see a race or two. CLASSIC MOMENT - Earned a mediocre speed rating in the last race in an Allowance race on October 14th. Doubtful to see an improved performance off of that rating.
