Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
ZIMMER (1) had a bit on his rivals on debut, recording an impressive win over 1207m at Belmont Park (Dirt). Gets some weight relief this time. Drawn to go forward. Will give a great sight. PENALTY BOX (8) recorded his maiden win four back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from five tries and looks a top chance. PIMLOTT (10) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when 35 lengths away in 11th over 1408m at Keeneland. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. DON'S WINNER (11) broke his maiden last start over 1811m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Re-unites with Luis Saez who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders.
