Churchill Downs Race 6 - Uae President Cup Arabian S. Stakes
RB BADONKADONK (6) is in top form with three wins on end, the most recent an effortless 7 lengths victory over 1609m in Group 3 grade at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf) a month ago. E Valdez-Jiminez has been the pilot at her last three wins. Should be hard to stop. DIAMOND GEM AA (4) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish second over 1710m in Group 3 grade at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf) after showing good early speed. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to make a big impact. QUICK RAE AA (9) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this campaign. Was always up in the leading division and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1408m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt). Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. WMA WILD KISSES (1) was a winner on dirt over 1308m at Sam Houston Park two back but missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Sam Houston Park Turf last time. Tougher assignment this time but can figure in the finish.

Returns from a 33-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at Sam Houston Park Turf in G3 on March 28 over 1609m, 18 len behind Rb Badonkadonk carrying 56kg at $18.20. The race before that won by 0.5 len at Sam Houston Park March 20 over 1308m defeating Aa Sweet Victory carrying 56kg at $12.90. Can do a lot better than that last run.

At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on April 3 over 1308m, 3 len behind Burning Shores Aa with 55.5kg at $2.30. Before that second last of 7 at Sam Houston Park Turf in G3 on March 15 over 1710m, 33 len behind Rb Badonkadonk carrying 56kg at $14.50. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Lone Star Park on April 16 over 1408m, 1.3 len behind Rb Date Nyght with 56kg at $2.40. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on April 3 over 1308m, 3 len behind Burning Shores Aa carrying 56kg at $3.90. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
