Churchill Downs Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
IMPERIAL RULER (1) met with solid support last start over 1308m at Belterra Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Strong winning chance. HARBE (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. BIG GARRY (4) settled well back last start and never threatened when 20 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. EDITOR (5) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.

Most recently 5th of 7 at this track on May 9 over 1308m, 4 len behind Skynet with 56.5kg at $9.75. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Keeneland April 10 over 1408m defeating He's All Heart carrying 56.5kg at $6.17. Can play a major role the small field.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on May 8 over 1207m, 13 len behind Madaket Road with 53.5kg at $24.60. Before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at Keeneland April 22 over 1207m defeating Join carrying 53.5kg at $1.95. Can do a lot better than that last run.
