Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Starter Allowance
GETHSEMANE (2) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NON CONFORMING (5) broke his maiden last start over 1408m at Keeneland (Dirt) when resuming, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Luis Saez who was on board last start. Can go right on with the job now. C MCGRIFF (7) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Oaklawn Park. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1710m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. HIGHLY CONNECTED (3) finished fifth last time out over 1811m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 6 lengths. Has solid credentials.
