Churchill Today. Breeders Cup Tomorrow!!

Today we look at two allowance races at Churchill. Tomorrow we will examine all six of the Breeder's Cup races at beautiful Santa Anita.

Churchill Race 8 {7 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A nicely competitive race there are five in here that could be in the winners circle today. Three of which have raced a longer distance last out. It seems that Devil by Design (Desormeaux / Mott) has a slight edge. She had a nice speed number in a mile race last out and Mott has worked her perfectly for this competition. Summer Flight (Alvarado / Catalano) looks to be on the rise and ready. Both Mein Fraulein (Court / Compton) and Ms. Margaret (Bridgmohan / Ashcraft) are coming off a 1 1/16 mile route and are in a good spot here. Bhangaloo Ruby (Leparoux / Keneally) has not yet traveled over the 7 furlong distance, but has great speed and could steal this one. Let's make our play.

$2 SHOW: #6 Devil by Design
10 CENT Superfecta: #6 Devil by Design / #4 Summer Flight / #9 Ms. Margaret / #7 Mein Fraulein, #8 Bhangaloo Ruby.

Churchill Race 9 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~Allowance}
Another competitive race that includes one "also eligible" that if drawn in could have a good shot at winning this one, Quick Charm (Leparoux / Brown). However, we will have to look at those already entered. Whitley (Leparoux / Arnold) looks to be the best prepared for this race with good speed numbers (surface, distance and last-out) and solid work-outs. Same can be said of Avenstoke (Bridgmohan / Miller) with the added value of being in the money 4 of 4 times over this distance. Justy (Desormeaux / Pletcher) also looks well prepared here. Rounding out the top contenders will be Original Ink (Theriot / Romans), Corredor Dela Isla (Baird / Catalano), and Au Moon (Albarado / Carroll). Let's make a good play.

$2 SHOW: #7 Whitley
10 CENT Superfecta: #7 Whitley / #2 Avenstoke / #9 Justy / #3 Origianl Ink, #6 Corredor Del Isla, #8 Au Moon.
