Another Day, Another Churchill Race

On this beautiful Sunday in November, we look at another stakes race at Churchill Downs.

Churchill Race 9 {Commonwealth Turf Stakes~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old}
This should be a delightful race over the grass. A strong ten horse field will go into the gate. Get Stormy (Castellano / Bush) appears to be the favorite as he as raced terrifically lately, but will be vying for his fourth win in a row. Major Marvel (Desormeaux / Capuano) will show speed, but will be faced with other speedsters in this race including Florentino(JPN) (Mena / McGlaughlin) and Spectacular Kid (Goncalves / Leahy). Is it possible that a speed duel develops and Get Stormy sits on the front end? With all the speed in the race we will place our show money on Street Move (Bravo / McGlaughlin). Street Move is in the money 3 for 3 at this distance and is 4 for 4 over the turf. It also helps that Street Cry is his daddy which makes him a very respectable deep closer. Think Street Sense or Zenyatta. Two other interesting closer types are Proceed Bee (Emigh / Becker) and Pop Tarrt (Gonzales / Deegan). Proceed Bee is a consistant type who is 71% in the money. Pop Taart has got some solid speed numbers, but is coming off a race on November 6th. Let's make our Commonwealth play.

$2 SHOW: #4 Street Move
10 CENT Superfecta: #4 Street Move / #10 Proceed Bee / #2 Pop Taart / #1 Get Stormy

Saturday's Results
Churchill R9. Not the kind of result we were looking for from the fillies. Hot Cha Cha finished 4th and Striking Dancer finished 6th. No show money for us. Superfecta went 5-11-9-7.
Bankroll has now gone to $10.70. A good Sunday would be nice.
