Churchill Downs Race 5 - Anchorage S. Stakes
VIVE VEUVE (9) resumed last start over 1609m in stakes class at Lone Star Park (Dirt) where she stalked the pace before drawing clear to score by half a length. I Ortiz Jr who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender. PIN UP BETTY (8) ran seventh at her latest appearance over 1710m at this track, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner. Is very effective at this distance with three wins from six runs. Looms large. WARMING (1) built on a nice third two starts back at Listed level at Turfway Park (Synthetic) with a win over 1710m in the G3 Gallorette Stakes at Laurel Turf (Turf) six weeks ago, getting home by one length. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. STYLISH SUE (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at Woodbine All Weather. Capable of featuring prominently.
