Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
WEAPONIZED (6) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1710m at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the task. CULPRIT (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at Ellis Park, beaten 4 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. DISPERSION (8) went forward over 1609m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last time but found one better. One of the main contenders. INORDINARY (5) last appeared seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1308m at Ellis Park when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Joe Sharp stable. Sure to make his presence felt. Something for the Multiples: SURFIN' M (2)
