Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

BLUE BLOOD COWBOY (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 12 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. AQUAVIT (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. WEEKEND RETREAT (1) has switched yards since finishing third eight weeks ago over 1609m at this track. Can measure up for the new barn. SEEKING FREEDOM (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1207m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
