Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
GALLATIN (13) Finished 2nd last start at Del Mar and putting a tidy record together so far. Coming to a new trainer and gets some weight relief. Will be competitive. HARD ROW (7) Brendan P Walsh trained 3yo by Hard Spun having first race start. Betting as a guide. NYQUISTADOR (11) First up after 16 weeks and competitive effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Turfway Park. Good prospects. TERRE HAUTE (3) Came in 5th last time at Colonial Downs. Displays good tactical speed. Respect in this event.

Started at $28.00 and ran 6th last time at Ellis Park but gets the perfect barrier. Likely to get back in the field. Prefer in an easier race.
