Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
RAIDING PARTY (7) impressed when successful on debut over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf) seven months ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. GOOD FAMILY (5) was quickly into stride and kicked strongly to score over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) last time. Should be prominent again and is right in this. CALL ON ME (9) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf), scoring by one length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is definitely worth including. RHYTHM LADY (2) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark three runs back, the latest effort a second over 1710m at Keeneland Turf (Turf). Drawn to stalk the leaders. In the mix.
