Churchill Downs Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
MO WAY (8) debuted a month ago when he finished fourth over 1609m at Keeneland Turf (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Will improve and looks well placed. AMERICAN VETERAN (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track (Turf) over 1710m. Fitter and with the blinkers added is expected to be in the finish. RIVELLI (12) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Keeneland, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
