COMMENTS: WEST WILL POWER hit the board in two of two at Churchill and four of four at the Distance. LAST SAMURAI appears to be in top form and could benefit from a small cut in distance. ART COLLECTOR does his best when he is on or just off the lead at the start. That is where he should be with this group. RICH STRIKE does his best work at Churchill Downs and will be coming late | ||||

COMMENTS: DIDIA came in from Argentina and won three in a row in the States. She keeps getting better and better. SHANTISARA finished first or second in seven of her last eight races. MCKULICKs jockey and trainer combo of Irad Ortiz and Chad Brown have won at 44 percent together. NEW YEARS EVE just ran her career best race and her workouts since hint at another big performance today. | ||||
RACE #7 $500,000 STAKES 7 FURLONGS ON THE DIRT - POST TIME: 2:09 PM ET | ||||

* EXACTA: 1,6,8,9 Box | ||||
* TRIFECTA: 1,6,8,8/9,6/1,5,6,8,9 | ||||
COMMENTS: MUNNYS GOLD smoked the competition by at least six and quarter lengths in her three starts. RED CARPET READY got beat as the betting favorite in her last race, Trainer George Arnold II rebounds at a nice 31 percent the next time out. CONDENSATION gains confidence when she is one the lead from the start. She usually breaks clean and should be close to the front today. ACCEDE is stepping straight out of her maiden win into stakes company which is no easy task. She made her debut look easy and might be up for the job today. | ||||

* TRIFECTA: 1,11/1,8,9,11/1,4,5,8,9,11 | ||||
COMMENTS: CARAVEL won a Grade II at Keeneland in her last and drops in class here. BAY STORM has plenty of early juice and should be involved from start to finish. LITTLE JEWELs trainer Carlo Vaccareza does not enter many at this level but wins at 31 percent when he does. OEUVRE is a consistent performer that tends to make a strong mid move which is important in sprints. | ||||
RACE #9 $750,000 STAKES 1 1/16 MILES ON THE DIRT - POST TIME: 4:04 PM ET | ||||

* EXACTA: 4,7/1,2,4,6,7,8 | ||||
* TRIFECTA: 2,4,7/2,4,7/1,2,4,6,7,8 | ||||
COMMENTS: SOCIETY popped the best number at the distance with a hand ride. SECRET OATH has four wins with a second and third in seven at the distance and just a pair of wins in eight at any other length. SEARCH RESULTS has some strong workouts getting ready for today but usually needs a race or two to find her form after a layoff like today. DESERT DAWN typically runs a high quality race close to the pace and tries to go by late. | ||||
RACE #10 $500,000 STAKES 1 1/16 MILES ON THE TURF - POST TIME: 4:51 PM ET | ||||

* EXACTA: 3,9,11 Box | ||||
* TRIFECTA: 3,9,11/3,9,11/2,3,5,9,10,11 | ||||
COMMENTS: PAPILIO should be in peak form making her third start after a layoff. REVALITA is a candidate for major improvement in her second US start and second after a layoff. CAIRO CONSORT finished in the money nine of 10 races and was fourth in the other. FLASHY GEM will likely try to be on or near the lead all the way around the track. | ||||
RACE #11 $1,250,000 STAKES 1 1/8 MILES ON THE DIRT - POST TIME: 5:51 PM ET | ||||

ALTERNATE 2 | 4-1 | 6 | Botanical | C Landeros |
* EXACTA: 4,5,7,11 Box | ||||
* TRIFECTA: 4,5,7,11 Box | ||||
COMMENTS: WONDER WHEEL is making her second start off the bench and she improved in both of her previous second up outings. WET PAINT usually wins from way off the pace but she might be a little closer to the front versus this bunch. DEFINING PURPOSE is an all or nothing horse on a fast track with three wins in five attempts. SOUTHLAWN ran much faster times in her last and could build on that success in the third start after a layoff. | ||||
