Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight
RAPOPORT (2) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Keeneland (Turf). Fitter and capable of taking this out. FOUNDERS (6) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1811m at Keeneland (Turf). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WESTERN RUN (9) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. MR BOBO (7) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 7 lengths, over 1207m at Kentucky. Sure to measure up.
