Churchill Downs Race 9 - Alysheba S. Presented By U.s. Army Stakes

BAEZA (2) makes his 4YO season debut for the Bill Mott yard after switching stables in the break since his effort in the Breeders' Cup Classic. His form last campaign makes for strong reading, including a third in the Kentucky Derby this time last year. Can return with a bang. SKIPPYLONGSTOCKING (7) held off White Abarrio two back in the Pegasus and went whack again last time out in the G3 Essex Handicap at Oaklawn. Gafflione reunites and he has enough speed to offset the sticky barrier. Can extend his winning streak. GRANDE (3) was too good in the Ghostzapper to build on his impressive record. He led from start to finish there at Gulfstream and dis so as a $1.10 favourite. Has some upside and can continue his rise through the grades. TAPPAN STREET (4) disappointed in the Pegasus but does boast a win over Sovereignty in the Florida Derby 12 months ago. Comes here fresh for Flavien Prat and can bounce back in a big way.

On debut ninth of 11 at Del Mar Turf December 1 2024 over 1609m, 8 len behind Charlie's To Blame carrying 54.5kg at $7.70.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming won by 0.8 len at Gulfstream Park February 14 over 1609m defeating Praetor with 55kg at $2.40. Second-up won by 0.8 len at Gulfstream Park G3 Ghostzapper Stakes March 28 over 1710m defeating Capital Idea with 54.5kg at $1.10.

First-up. Finished off last preparation when last of 12 at Gulfstream Park in the G1 Pegasus World Cup January 24 over 1811m, 22 len behind Skippylongstocking carrying 56kg at $4.30. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.0 len Gulfstream Park December 19 over 1609m defeating Steppe carrying 53.5kg at $1.10. Too bad to be true in the Pegasus and he's open to plenty of improvement on resumption.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.8 len at Oaklawn Park G3 Oaklawn Mile Stakes March 28 over 1609m defeating East Avenue with 56kg at $2.90. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Oaklawn Park in the G3 Razorback Handicap on February 28 over 1710m, 4 len behind Magnitude carrying 52kg at $3.40. Ticks plenty of boxes on his recent form and can feature in the finish again.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 41-day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and scored a big 5 len win at Oaklawn Park G3 Essex Handicap March 21 over 1811m defeating Mackman carrying 56kg at $2.10. Before that won by 1.75 len at Gulfstream Park G1 Pegasus World Cup January 24 over 1811m defeating White Abarrio with 56kg at $22.60. Can't knock his recent form and he can extend his winning streak.

Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.
