Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
CAN'T DENY IT (5) saluted when resuming last start at Keeneland (Turf) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the corner. Is yet to miss the frame from three starts at this distance, including three wins. Has a formidable combination with Jareth Loveberry who has been aboard for his last two wins. Leading contender. LITIGATION (4) found one better when resuming last start at Keeneland (Turf) over this distance after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from three starts. Mario Gutierrez who has two wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts him right in this. CLASSY WAR (1) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1006m at Woodbine. Will be in this for a long way. CHEVAL DE GUERRE (7) won at Ellis Park (Turf) two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing fifth over 1106m at Keeneland (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. Something for the Multiples: POSEIDON'S LAW (9) HIT THAT REVIEW (8)
