Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
PAPA YO (1) Flew home to win last start at this track and facing weaker opposition. Should muster plenty of early toe. Luis Saez does know the horse very well and drawn beautifully. Right in this. EMBER (2) Was making up some late ground when 4th last start around here and going down in class. Lanfranco Dettori and Joey Sharp are an appealing combination. Has a good draw. Will be there at the finish. RIVALRY (4) Overrun late when 2nd last run here and returns to an increased distance. First appearance for a new trainer and carrying less weight this time. Displays good tactical speed. Strong chance. THE THUNDERER (7) Looked outclassed when 7th last run at the track but challenged by weaker competitors. One of the hopes.
