Churchill Downs Race 10 - Race 10 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WARLANDER (8) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 2414m at Kentucky (Turf), scoring by a nose. Fitter for that last hitout and happy to have him on top. TELESCOPIC (10) built on a nice second two starts back at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) with a win as public elect over 2414m at Kentucky (Turf) three weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done again. THE HIDDEN CHAMBER (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 2414m at Kentucky (Turf) after being in contention on the bend. Has the ability to take care of this field. PROVEN ADVOCATE (6) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 2414m at Kentucky, beaten 5 lengths. In contention this time.
