Closing Out the Churchill Spring Meet

On this Superfecta Sunday we check out a fantastic Sprint Stakes as Churchill Downs closes out its Spring Meet.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {Maxfield Stakes~7 Furlongs~3 year-old~Stakes}

A large field of twelve will go to the gate in this penultimate race of the meet.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is plenty of speed in this seven-furlong stakes race. Speed numbers are fairly close. Only four have raced at this very distance. All have competed very well over the dirt. Six have raced over the Churchill track. It should be an excellent race to wager and watch on what has been an exceptional Churchill meet.

#8 Flood Zone (Geroux / B. Cox) is the deserved favorite after competing in Dubai. He should track the pace closely. This guy holds the third highest speed number over a dirt surface and has four stellar workouts. A son of Frosted, he is 75% in the money from four starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#6 Smoken Wicked (B. Hernandez / D. Stewart) has the tactical speed to stay the pace. He loves the dirt, distance, and track. This lad holds the highest speed number at the distance. Four superb workouts add to his preparation. A son of Bobby's Wicked One, he is 63% in the money from eleven starts.

#5 Retribution (J. Ortiz / DeVaux) will be tracking the pace has he stretches out a bit. He holds the second highest last out speed number and four solid workouts. This colt ventures in from Pimlico. A son of Vekoma, he is 100% in the money from three starts.

#2 Captain Cook (I. Ortiz / R. Dutrow) should be forwardly placed and could participant in the pace on the front-end. He holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number at a route and four serious workouts. He secured a win at this distance in his only effort at same. A son of Practical Joke, he is 60% in the money from five starts.

Other Wagering Interests

#10 Verifire (Prat / B. Cox) will be making his third start in the form cycle. He will stretch and show speed. This guy relishes the dirt surface. A son of Authentic, he has win rate of 100% from two starts.

#13 Furio (J. Torres / Sharp) comes in with the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. He should be part of the speed scenario if he breaks well from the outside post. This guy will stretch out slightly, but he loves the dirt and the track. A son of McKinzie, he is 66% in the money from six starts.
