Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
SHADOW COAST (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. TIGER'S LEGACY (6) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth in a 1308m contest at this track three weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to get the prize. COOL COWBOY (3) has recorded three minor placings from three starts this preparation, the latest when third as a well-fancied conveyance over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). He has solid claims. COLONEL CALIENTE (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out.
