Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming
AMERICAN WIND (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) after being prominent from the outset. Finds a suitable race and can discover winning form. THE IRISH RANTER (4) scored a dominant win at Mountaineer Park (Dirt) over 905m at his latest appearance on December 1. Rates highly and should take some beating. DIRBAS (8) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing third over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) last time out. Won't get a better chance. I FORGOT TO ASK (6) pushed forward and was a determined winner by 0.8 lengths over 1006m at Turfway Park (Synthetic) last time out. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Deserves respect on his best figures.
