Horseshoe Indianapolis Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
TRUST THE WORD (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 9 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. GOOD CIVILIAN (3) started at $9.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Has the talent to figure prominently. THE EXODUS TWIST (7) got a long way back when 13 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1207m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LONGSTRIDER (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1308m at Churchill Downs, beaten 13 lengths into ninth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
