Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - William Garrett H. Stakes
DONCHO (5) showed good pace and went on to score by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1006m in stakes class at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MONDOGETSBUCKETS (10) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at Listed level at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. MY OWN (9) has four wins and two minor placings from 10 outings this preparation. Scored last start by 0.3 lengths at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1106m after being handy all the way. Fernando De La Cruz gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score. HEART HEADED (3) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.8 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). His record at this journey is sound so he can figure in the finish.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 11 at this track October 15 over 1006m, 18 len behind Spoke with 54kg at $42.20. On debut ran last of 10 at this track November 5 2024 over 1006m, 22 len behind Corman with 55.5kg at $9.60. Might need the run.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 9 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 14 over 1106m, 0.8 len behind My Own with 55kg at $5.17. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf on May 7 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Clever Mischief carrying 55.5kg at $6.92. Thereabouts last time out. Definite top-three prospect.

At the latest run from last on the turn ran last of 7 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 20 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Eakly with 55kg at $62.54. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Hawthorne Turf on June 4 over 1006m, 2.75 len behind Monsieur Candy with 56kg at $20. Likely to find them too smart.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start eased back early on 5th of 7 at Churchill Downs Turf in LR on June 6 over 1006m, 5 len behind Doncho with 55.5kg at $6.33. Before that 6th of 10 at Churchill Downs Turf in the G2 Twin Spires Turf Sprint Stakes on May 2 over 1106m, 2 len behind Yellow Card carrying 55kg at $16.31. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
