Churchill Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance

CHAIRMANOFTHEBOARD (1) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by half a length over 1207m. Likely to be in the finish again. SPIRIT OF A WALKON (6) registered a strong win at Keeneland two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the corner before finishing second over 1710m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NOGRADI (2) was flying with three wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1710m at this track. Certainly worth another chance. MAXIMUM PROMISE (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). In the right race and should be about the money.
