Churchill Downs Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
MR GERSON (3) is a two-year-old colt who is having his first run for the David Jacobson yard. Finished off last campaign with a win at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf) three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Can make an immediate impact. BOORAY (2) led all the way to score on debut over 1006m at Monmouth Park (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. RED SUN (1) finished out of the money two starts back then he got a long way back and was beaten 18 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track two weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role. MR. FETE (6) was in the money at each run this time in before scoring over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt) last time. Confidence back now. Can sneak into the finish. Something for the Multiples: MR. GRUMPY PANTS (5)
