Superfecta Sunday on the Churchill Dirt

 On this Superfecta Sunday we take a quick look at the penultimate race on the card.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {Hanshin Stakes~G3~1 mile~4 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A quality group of ten will go to the gate in this feature race.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is plenty of speed to keep the pace rolling quickly. All have experience over the dirt, distance and track. The entire field has hit a triple digit speed fig at least once in their career.  It should be a great race on a beautiful Superfecta Sunday.

#4 Imagination (Prat / Baffert) looks ready to take on this field. He holds the highest speed number over the surface. He should track the pace closely and get a jump on the field in the stretch. This guy has hit the board in all four of his races at this distance. A millionaire son of Into Mischief, he is 70% in the money from seventeen starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

Filling out the Top Four Runners

#3 Owen Almighty (J. Velazquez / B. Lynch) has the tactical speed to handle the pace. Holds the third highest last out speed number and four strong peaking workouts. Loves the Churchill track. A son of Speightstown, he is 58% in the money from twelve starts.

#5 Dragoon Guard (I. Ortiz / B. Cox) is the morning line favorite. Has hit the board in all five of his races at this distance. Fantastic workout tab of four super sharp works. This guy should be part of the pace. A son of Arrogate, he is 92% in the money from thirteen starts.

#7 Crazy Mason (J. Alvarado / Sacco) has hit the board in his last three. He will be closing gallantly into a swift pace. This guy has posted four diligent workouts in preparation. A son of Coal Front, he is 75% in the money from twenty starts.

Other Wagering Interests

#2 Neoequos (Arrieta / S.A. Joseph) will track the pace closely. Holds the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. A son of Neolithic, he is 73% in the money from fifteen starts.

#6 Hall of Fame (J. Ortiz / S. Asmussen) has hit the same speed fig in his last two races and should pop a strong effort. He will track the pace. A son of Gun Runner, he is 53% in the money from thirteen starts.

Back to Louisville for Superfecta Sunday

 We look at a mile long Stakes race for some great Superfecta Sunday action.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {Hanshin Stakes~1 mile~4 year-old Up~Stakes}

A reduced field of ten will go to the gate in this Stakes contest.

Past performances used:  Equibase.

There is plentiful speed to drill a fast pace. Speed numbers are very close making this one super competitive. All have raced over the Churchill Turf. Two millionaires make the field. This entire group has had success over the Turf and at the distance. This should be a spectacular race to wager and watch as the Churchill Spring season comes to a close.

#9 Cagliostro (Prat / DeVaux) should track the pace closely and fire into the stretch. He comes in with the second highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route  and two strong workouts. He loves the Turf, distance and course. A son of Upstart, he is 70% in the money from ten starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#7 Charge It (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) will challenge with the highest (tie) last out speed number and three solid workouts. He excels over the Turf and distance. He has the tactical speed to adapt to whatever pace develops. A son of Tapit, he is 57% in the money from fourteen starts.

#2 Frosted Grace (Rosario / Maker) is the most consistent runners in the field having hit triple digit speed figs in his last three. He desires the Turf, distance, and course. Look for him to track the pace closely. A millionaire son of Mark Valeski, he is 70% in the money from forty-seven starts.

#6 Extra Anejo (Gaffalione / Asmussen) shares the highest last out speed number and three hearty peaking workouts. He is another that loves the Turf, distance, and course. Holding tactical speed, he will blend into the pace for maximum effect. A son of Into Mischief, he is 80% in the money from five starts.

Other Wagering Interests

#3 Zozos (Geroux / B. Cox) is the morning line favorite with the fourth highest last out speed number and four powerful workouts. He should show speed and attempt to wire the field. He holds excellent stats at the distance and over the course. A millionaire son of Munnings, he is 69% in the money from thirteen starts.

#1 Tumbarumba (L. Saez / B. Lynch) has hit the board in his last three. He drops in distance with three dynamic workouts. This lad should track the pace closely and strike in the stretch. He has also hit the board in all of his races at the distance and over the course. A son of Oscar Performance, he is 78% in the money from fourteen starts.
