Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Special Weight
BIG BOY THUNDER (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 10 lengths over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf (Turf). Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to turn things around. FANCY GENTLEMAN (9) is a three-year-old colt who is having his first run for the Ethan W West barn. Hasn't raced since finishing fourth at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) six-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks well placed. Among the leading chances. HODL HARD (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last time then tired over the final stages to finish tenth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1106m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Can give a sight if at his best. MAYWEATHER (2) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1207m at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Churchill Downs over 1207m. Solid top-three hope.
