Churchill Downs

I Play Exacta Boxes

In races with 3 Churchill Downs Selections the total cost will be $6 for a $1 bet
In races with 4 Churchill Downs Selections the total cost will be $12 for a $1 bet

The Win Candidates are in order from our top pick to our fourth (or third).

However, we root for the two biggest prices to run 1st and 2nd as it helps our payoffs in our exacta boxes.

It does not matter to me if it is our top pick or our fourth- I am trying to make money!

If you have any questions just let me know,

Churchill Downs Selections 3-7-2-6 Star Rating

#3 Somebody Loves Me-came off a two month layoff two back and missed by only 3 lengths then by just 4 last out
with both races coming against tougher MSW runners. Trainer drops this filly down to 75k, is hitting at a big 26% with his MCL runners
and we will try to beat the favorite.

#7 Please Be Kind-trainer is off to a good start here hitting with 2 of 6 for 33%.
He drops this one down from MSW to MCL which is a 29% winning move for him and this filly is
coming off back to back bullet works here.

#2 Rolleston-finished just 3 lengths behind our top pick two back then stretched out last out and did not fire.
Trainer adds blinkers, this filly cuts back in distance and she should improve.

#6 Braganza-first timer from the Kenneally barn is working well over the track and we should get a good price.

Churchill Downs Selections 2-4-6 Star Rating long shot play

#4 Icarus-came off a two month layoff last out, showed speed, got a head in front late but tired late and missed by
just a length and ¾ while being claimed at this same 50k level. New trainer is hitting at 18% with his claims in their first start and has the one to beat.

#6 Deep State-Trainer Lynch has won with 2 of his 4 starters here with a second.
He drops this one in class and this gelding should run into the payoffs.

Brad is hitting at 22% with his maiden making they debut for a tag and this one is working well for her debut.

This 5 year old missed by just a head last out while coming off an 11 month layoff. He needed that one and will be tough to beat.

Churchill Downs Selections 7-3-1-5 Star Rating

#7 Slicked Back-might as well end the day with another Brad Cox trained runner.
This gelding missed by only 4 last out while coming off a three month layoff.
He needed that one, drops in class and should get the money.

#3 Ice Blast-was over matched last out in a 400k stake on the turf at Kentucky Downs but fits better with these and is the one to beat.

#1 Aktulgali-long shot play runs for Pletcher, drops in class and could run into the payoffs.

#5 Good Culture-was claimed last out for 50k at Saratoga while missing by only 6.
New trainer drops him down to 30k and he will come running late.
