Kentucky Downs

I Play Exacta Boxes

In races with 3 selections the total cost will be $6 for a $1 bet In races with 4 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,

#2 What an Honor-has finished second in back to back to begin her career. Trainer Maker won 3 races here on opening day and adds blinkers.

#7 Strand of Gold-finished third in her debut last out at Gulfstream. Trainer Joseph won with 2 of his 4 starters here on opening day. He adds blinkers, a 22% winning move for him and we should get a good price.

#8 Yanira-first timer from the Ward barn who also won with 2 of his 4 starters here on opening day. The trainers of our top three picks won 7 of the 11 races on opening day.

#10 Bel Rosso-finished second in her debut last out missing by just a length and a half and looks for another in the money finish today.

#2 Rum ‘n Tonic-trainer Maker again whom we may have just cashed on. This colt missed by only 2 in his debut while racing over this course last year. He has the speed to be close from the start and Maker has started this short meet hot.

#3 Shipman-broke slow from the #12 post last out but rallied to miss by only 3 in third going a mile. He cuts back in distance, runs for 15% winning trainer and will be a good price.

#10 Derivative-missed by a neck in his debut then came off a 13 month layoff for his second start and missed by only 4 in 5^th in a key race in which the top two finishers both came back to win. This one obviously needed that one and should improve.

#6 Truly Mischief-is coming off his career best while missing by only 2 in 4^th while beating our third pick in the same key race last out. This gelding is improving and should run into the payoffs.

#4 Romancer-drew off to break his maiden by 6 then switched to the turf and has finished second in back to back including last out in a 500k stake in his first start over this course. He is coming off a 11 month layoff but is working well for his return and finds an easier field.

#7 Martini’nmoonshine-came off a 10 month layoff and missed by only 3 ¾ last out against a good field at Saratoga. He runs for 21% winning trainer, shows a fast work since his last race and should be a decent price.

#6 Dominican Pioneer-325k runner from the Ward barn got the money in his debut then finished 6^th in back to back while catching muddy tracks both times. He switches to the turf today and will be a big price.

#5 Sense Shines– also from the Ward barn this gelding broke his maiden in his only start by 3 lengths. He is coming off a bullet work at Keeneland and will show speed.

#9 Shad Nation-came off a 3 month layoff and missed by just a length and a quarter in a 100k stake at DEL then rallied to miss by just a length in a tough allowance race at Saratoga. She is making her third start back today and should be ready for her best at a price.

#5 Lovely Princess-came off a 3 month layoff, switched to the turf and fought for the lead before missing by just a length. She then came from just off the pace last out to get the money. She is improving and is the one to beat.

#8 Hatari-rallied to get the score two back for 40k then missed by 2 lengths when moving up to 50k. She is improving and will come running late at a price.

#11 Elle Est Forte-missed by a neck then a head in her last two and should run into the payoffs again today.

#4 Parents Pride-stalked the leaders, moved to a neck off in the stretch but had to settle for second in her debut last out. Trainer is hitting at 30% with his maidens in their second start and should add to that with this filly.

#5 Macadamia-did not fire as the beaten favorite last out but runs for 21% winning trainer and looks to make amends today.

#1 Cindylouwho-came off a year and a half layoff for her second career start last out, fought for the lead and missed by just a neck in game effort. She should show speed from the inside at a price.
