Churchill Downs Race 5 - Twin Spires Turf Sprint S. Presented By Accenture Stakes
MY BOY PRINCE (3) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1106m in the G2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf). That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Big chance once again. LITIGATION (9) finished fourth in the G2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf) over this distance last time out. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring five times from eight starts. Bold showing expected. YELLOW CARD (7) continues to race well with a win two back at Listed level at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) before finishing 1.3 lengths away in second last time over 1106m in the G2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Should camp just off the leaders. Winning claims on best figures. JOE SHIESTY (10) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins but last start missed the frame when fifth over 1106m in the G2 Shakertown Stakes at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Has a strong record at this course, scoring two times from four starts. Will run a decent race with race fitness now on board.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Keeneland Turf G2 Shakertown Stakes April 4 over 1106m defeating Yellow Card with 55.5kg at $6.06. Before that came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Tampa Bay Downs Turf LR February 14 over 1006m defeating Rezasrolex with 54.5kg at $2.90. Everything points towards a big run.
