Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Allowance

THE DOVER SPECTER (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh. Has the ability to figure prominently. SNARE (10) finds it hard to win with just one success from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1106m at Keeneland Turf, beaten 5 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MARY'S BOY BOLT (7) ran below expectations last time at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1710m, finishing sixth and beaten 25 lengths. Can bounce back. RAZORCAT (6) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1106m at Keeneland Turf, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at Fairgrounds Turf at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.

On debut second last of 8 at Santa Anita Turf April 19 2025 over 1308m, 14 len behind The Old Nine with 55kg at $17.70. Look for a bold run.
