Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Claiming
HAPPY PRINCE (11) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1609m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Launched last prep with a minor placing at Keeneland Turf over 1811m. Well placed and happy to have him on top. BOTH SIDES OF BAD (2) was in the money two starts back at Santa Anita Turf then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf). Shapes as one of the top chances. CULTURE WAR (4) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when seventh over 1609m at this track a month ago. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. BARRACKS (6) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 1408m at Churchill Downs three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
