Kentucky Downs Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
ANDTHEWINNERIS (8) has switched yards since scoring by 2.75 lengths at Ellis Park Turf over 2012m on August 16. Best figures put him right in this. GILDED CRAKEN (3) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 2213m at Saratoga Inner Turf after being in contention on the bend. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. IDRATHERBEBLESSED (2) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1710m at Listed level at Penn National Turf (Turf) in a disappointing performance. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. DIVIN PROPOS (6) was always well back last start at the first run of this campaign and never threatened, finishing fifth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Second-up record is sound. Capable of featuring. Something for the Multiples: WAR OFFICER (10)
