Churchill Downs Race 11 - Race 11 - Mdn Claiming
BEIJING (9) has been about the money with two minor placings from three runs this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1207m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Expected to go well again. MIZZOU (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1408m at Ellis Park, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Must raise the bar but this is well within his grasp. KING OF HEAT (5) is a three-year-old colt who has filled a minor placing just once in six runs. Safely held when resuming last start over 1408m at Kentucky (Turf), finishing eighth and beaten 9 lengths. Likely improver with blinkers added. BOSS' DEED (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1408m at Ellis Park. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
