Churchill Downs Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
DOUBLE ARROW (10) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) when third, beaten 6 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but he will be hard to beat. FINAL STATEMENT (12) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Violence from Closing Statement who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Ready to run well despite an awkward gate. BEAM TRACKER (8) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Joe Sharp. By Mitole from Bossy Mama. Bold showing expected. KNICKS WARRIOR (9) was beaten 13 lengths into fifth over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis last time out. No surprise to see him in the mix.
