Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Starter Allowance
BAYTOWN BRUISER (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is sure to go well. SPIRIT OF A WALKON (9) found plenty to salute by 1.3 lengths three runs back at Keeneland (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. One of the major players. FEAR OF UNION (6) finished third over 1811m at this track (Dirt) last time out following a determined win two back. Good record at this journey with five wins and five minor placings from 13 starts and shapes as a key runner. SUPER MCKINZIE (7) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 7 lengths to spare over 1673m at Hawthorne (Dirt). Solid claims.
