Saturday

Race #5 - #3 - Cardiac Kid = Son of American Pharoah for Kenny McPeek - Been off 2 months and his last race showed good promise on the sod.

Race #8 - #10 - Cornbread Kingdom = His dam has 2 starters and 2 winners - This son of Uncle Mo has a sparkling workout and may be dangerous right out

Race #9 - The G2 Golden Rod - #2 - Turtle Trax = She is a solid closer and gets two turns today - Leparoux will have her in top gear turning for home

Race #11 - #4 - South Bend = This colt is a perfect 3/3 with wins and has two wins over the CD oval - He's gonna be nasty tough.

Sunday

Churchill Downs

Race #7 - #5 - Speightstown Angel = McPeek trainee who was moving late and showed good late kick going 7f - Cuts back to 6f and get a new rider in B.J. Hernandez.

Race #8 - #3 - Perfectly Majestic = Been off for more than a year for the Peter Miller barn who is winning 44% at the meet - Takes a class drop, works over the track, and the barn wins 23% off a last race win.

Race #9 - #8 - Liberty Blue = Son of Constitution who wins 23% with his first time starters. - Well, this is his 2nd start but was very rank down the backstretch. - I'm tossing that race and enjoying the move to B.J. Hernandez for Ken McPeek and the price is square.

Race #11 - #2 - Chess Chief = Blinkers off and a huge drop in class. - Dallas Stewart does well with fresh runners and some solid works over the track.
