Churchill Downs Race 6 - Race 6 - Mdn Special Weight
BY LA RINA (5) finished second, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. MIGHTY NORA (7) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing ninth and beaten 12 lengths starting at $3.02. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. BEAUXBATONS (4) was well in commission on her debut over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt) three weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. One of the contenders at her second run back with blinkers added. LITTLE BIT ANGEL (1) turned in a moderate debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on May 7 when she was safely held in sixth, 8 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. No surprise to see her improve sharply.
