Mahoning Valley Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
BLUE BLOOD COWBOY (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when fourth over 1609m at Thistledown four weeks ago. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. TURKODANCER (6) got well back over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 30 lengths away in tenth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. ATLAS FALLS (5) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 8 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1207m at this track two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Strong top-three chance. HE IS DYNAMIC (7) finished 14 lengths adrift in seventh last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better.
