Saturday Evening Stakes Race

We take in a fantastic graded stakes race under the lights beneath the Twinspires for our Stakes Saturday.

Churchill Downs Race 8 {Stephen Foster~G2~1 1/8 mile~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A wide open field of twelve will go to the gate in this annual event. There is ample speed to maintain an honest pace. Speed numbers are fairly close with a number in this one continuing to improve. Only two millionaires make their appearance. This is a high quality field that should make for a thrilling race.

#6 Gift Box (Rosario / Sadler) ships in from California to meet with these winning foes. He holds the highest last out speed number at a longer route and two superb peaking workouts. This lad has acquitted himself at this distance and has an 81% in the money record from sixteen starts. A son of Twirling Candy he should be striding close to the pace and take first strike on the leaders.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#4 Seeking the Soul (J. Velazquez / D. Stewart) will challenge with three strong last out speed numbers and three supreme workouts. This guy loves the Churchill track finishing 81% in the money from eleven tries. A millionaire son of Perfect Soul [IRE], he will track and close gallantly.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#10 Quip (Geroux / Brisset) should contend with third highest (tie) last out speed number and four excellent peaking workouts. He loves the surface and this distance holding a 100% in the money record from two starts at nine panels. A son of Distorted Humor, he should battle bravely among the group of forwardly placed types.

#3 Runaway Ghost (Leparoux / Fincher) appears ready to take a huge step forward with a decent last out speed number and four robust peaking workouts. This lad is undefeated at this distance from two starts and is 81% in the money from eleven career starts.
