Stakes Saturday Down in Kentucky

Feels like Winter, but it is still Fall as we seek out some Turf on this Stakes Saturday. Alas, down Kentucky way we find some cherished Turf.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {River City Handicap~G3~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~graded Stakes}

A quality group of ten will hit the green in this annual contest. Short on speed with most coming in as trackers and/or closers. Speed numbers are very close making this race truly competitive. It should be an excellent race.

#4 Mr. Misunderstood (Geroux / B. Cox) might have the edge with the highest speed number at the distance and four outstanding works coming into the race. He loves the surface, distance and Churchill course. A son of Archarcharch, he should be tracking closely ready to pounce. Second best in the money performer at 72% from twenty-five career starts.
$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#9 Admission Office (J. Ortiz / Lynch) will pose a significant challenge with the highest last out speed number and four superb workouts. This lad holds the highest in the money performance of 87% from eight career starts. A son of Point of Entry, he is another that relishes the surface, distance, and Churchill. Look for him to close gallantly.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#8 Get Western (B. Hernandez / Lopresti) should contend with the second highest last out speed number and three hearty peaking workouts. He will be stretching out to this distance. This lad loves the Churchill course hitting the board 75% from four starts over it. A son of Get Stormy, he is the lone speed and has the potential to wire this field.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Blue Sky Kowboy (Doyle / Boyce) could surprise having hit the board in his last three over Turf and synthetic up in Illinois. He will stretch out for this race. This guy does hold the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number and one quality workout. Look for this son of Kodiak Kowboy to improve on the step up. closing well.
