Churchill Downs Race 4 {BC~Juvenile Turf~G2~1 mile~2 year old~Stakes}
A full field of lucky thirteen will go to the gate. Humble and Hungry (Peslier / Correas) could be another big surprise in these Championships with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two on a tear workouts. Banned (Rosario / Proctor) could be another surprise with a decent last out speed number, a three race progression, and three athletic workouts. Madman Diaries (Sanchez / Ward) looks ready for a big race with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three dynamic workouts. Deciphering Dreams (Dominguez / R. Dutrow) looks well prepped to face this group with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and three fantastic workouts. The Euros are expected to be strong and will be a legitimate factor in this race. A tough one to call.

10 CENT Superfecta: #12 Humble and Hungry / #8 Banned / #10 Madman Diaries / #2 Deciphering Dreams.
Churchill Downs Race 8 {BC~Mile~G1~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Another great race with the best in the world. Eleven will line up for this race. Goldikova [IRE] (Peslier / Head) will be defending her championship in this event. She looks solid and will be incredibly tough to beat with a perfect record at this distance. The great Gio Ponti (Domingez / Clement) will challenge with the shared highest last out speed number and one great workout. He comes into this with four victories from five starts at this distance. Court Vision (Albarado / R. Dutrow) will surprise coming into this in high form also sharing the highest last out speed number and four tenacious, peaking workouts. Sidney's Candy (Rosario / Sadler) will attempt to steal this one on the front end with the greatest workout tab of all competitors in the Championships. He is also coming off the highest last out speed number with a three race progression and four fabulous bullet workouts in a peaking fashion. Proviso [GB] (Smith / Mott) will no doubt be in this race to attempt to pluck the victory coming off four grade one wins in a row that is part of a six race progression and two incredibly good, peaking workouts. This may be one of the most heart pounding races of the Championships.

10 CENT Superfecta: #10 Goldikova [IRE] / #3 Gio Ponti / #4 Court Vision / #9 Sidney's Candy, #11 Proviso [GB].
Churchill Race10 {BC~Turf~G1~1 1/2 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A great field of eight go to the gate. It is quite possible to see a complete Euro sweep of this race. The race will come down to two Euros for the victory. Behkabad [FR] (Lemaire / Rouget) may edge out the favorite, Workforce [GB]. Behkabad [FR] is coming off a fourth place finish in the Arc de Triumphe, Europes premier race. He gets the edge on the basis of six career wins. Workforce [GB] (R. Moore / Stoute) will be the overwhelming favorite and deservedly so. He was the victor in the Arc and should be ready for this race. Clearly the one to beat. Winchester (C. Velasquez / Clement) may be the North American surprise with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two robust workouts. Telling (Castellano / Hobby) will be in the hunt with the second highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and two serious workouts. Debussy [IRE] (Buick / Gosden) is a Euro already proven on American Turf winning this years Arlington Million. There is no question he will be a factor in this race with ultra talented William Buick in the irons. The Turf will be a very competitive contest.
$2 SHOW: #7 Behkabad [FR].
$2 SHOW: #2 Winchester.
10 CENT Superfecta: #7 Behkabad [FR] / #6 Workforce [GB] / #2 Winchester / #3 Telling, #4 Debussy [IRE].
