Churchill Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
GLADLY (7) finished third, beaten 4.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after she was prominent at the corner. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. STATE CHARMER (10) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) after she gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. JUANITA MYCHIQUITA (1) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in contention on the turn, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1207m at Turfway Park. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. BETTY WHO (4) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role.
