Good Afternoon And
Welcome to
CHURCHILL DOWNS
Today's Feature Is:
THE RUFFARAMA
Presented By: MEOW-MIX
Todays Distance
1 1/4 Miles
Track Condition: MUDDY
Due to Severe Weather Conditions
we have had Numerous Scratches
leaving us with a field of 7
The Horses are Entering The Track
Let's Meet The field
Leading them is: PP-#1
KD
An Improving Stallion who seems to have
finally found his best running stye
His connections have tried many changes including: Shoes, Blinkers, Distances, Diet, Supplements
And finally may have stumbled onto
just the Right Combination
He is at: 6/1
In PP-#2
EL PRADO
This Talented Filly has shown nothing but Class and Determination in most of her races this season
If She is not in the Winner's Circle
she is usually in the Photo
She goes off at: 7/2
In Gate #3
REAL QUIET
A Stallion who is Inconsistent in his efforts this year, showing Brilliance in a race only to run poorly in his next start
He is proving to be a huge question-mark
to his connections
He is at odds of: 9/2
In PP-#4
DUSTY
This Filly is a mixed-bag of
Super-Sonic-Speed taking the early lead
Or hanging far back waiting to close
like the Amtrak Express
Her Last few races have not shown off her Ability and the Vet has been called in a few times to do a routine check up but found nothing seriously wrong
She remains a puzzle to her connections
She is at: 7/1
In Gate #5
INTO-THE-MYSTIC
This Filly is a Dynamo who often explodes out of the gate to take command, challenging the rest to Catch-Her-If-They-Can
Often they do not
She is the Favorite at: 5/2
In PP-#6
CRIMINAL TYPE
This Aging Stallion is not showing up this year with the Winning-Ways of last season
Now and then he runs a super race but more often this season, shows a lack of speed and stamina
He goes off at: 12/1
In Gate #7
RUFFIAN
Always Feisty and Fractious!
A Filly who has the Ability and Determination to run a spectacular race lately has fallen badly off-form
Like Dusty, she has had a Vet visit several times in the last month to see what may be causing her dismal efforts Nothing was found
She has Blinkers on today for the first time to see if that will affect her Focus
She is at 20/1
