Churchill Downs Race 9 - Regret S. Stakes
INDIGO WOODS (1) chases a hat-trick and looks the one to beat after winning the Fair Grounds Stakes over 1710m last start, coming from 5th to score by 0.5L, and she also won her Churchill Downs debut over this trip. TAM TAM (9) is a key danger after a narrow 2nd in a 1710m Churchill Downs Stakes last start, having led and beaten only 0.1L, and previously won the Gulfstream Park Stakes over 1509m. STORM'S WAKE (8) brings solid credentials, winning the Keeneland Stakes over 1609m two runs back before a close 5th in the Churchill Downs Stakes, beaten 1.6L. FAITHFUL DEPARTED (5) must be respected off her last-start Churchill Downs Allowance win over 1710m by 0.8L and her prior 2nd to INDIGO WOODS at Fair Grounds.
