Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 10 - Jonathan B. Schuster Memorial S. Stakes
HIGGINS BOAT (6) ran an improved race second up last start to finish in the placings over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 3 lengths. Generally runs well third up from a spell so he looks the testing material. VOTE NO (1) lines up on the back of a 4 length third over 2414m at Delaware Park Turf. Will be hard to beat. WADSWORTH (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Has the talent to take this out. JUDGE DAVIS (2) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf), beaten one length. Should be peaking. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
