Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
THE PRINCE'S SPUR (4) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep a year ago when he scored by 4.5 lengths. Under the care of new trainer M J Maker this prep. Is a winner at this circuit. Likely to feature. PAPA YO (8) started at $9.58 last time on the back of a win at this track (Dirt) two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Is unbeaten in three starts here. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. HAYES STRIKE (7) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1811m at Ellis Park after being in contention on the turn. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. ONTHESTAGE (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at Ellis Park, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
