Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming

TIZMARKUS (6) Controlled the pace when winning by nearly 12L last time at Oaklawn Park and going up in trip. Should be going forward early. In fine form this preparation. Worth an investment. ACKNOWLEDGE (3) Didn't threaten when 6th last time at this track. Giving another go here. Displays good tactical speed. Change in trainer. Can be competitive. IRON SHARPENS IRON (2) Made up ground when 5th last run at Oaklawn Park and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Has a positive draw. Not out of this. BRAVE BLEND (4) Struggled with the pace when 7th last time at this venue. First four hope.
