An Evening Stakes Saturday

 We go under the "Twin Spires" for an evening Stakes race.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {Dogwood Stakes~G3~7 Furlongs~3 year-old~Fillies~Graded Stakes}

A talented field of nine lasses will go to the gate under the lights in this annual affair.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

Plenty of speed will move these gals through very quick fractions. Speed numbers are very close making it quite competitive. Only four in the field have not raced over the Churchill track. Five in this field have raced at this distance. It should be a fantastic race.

#7 Twice as Sweet (Cannon / B. Walsh) comes in from Ellis Park with the fourth highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. She should track the quick pace closely. This daughter of Candy Ride [ARG], is 66% in the money from nine career starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#9 Alexa Lou (Leparoux / D. Stewart) comes in with the second highest last out speed number and two sharp workouts. She will stretch out a bit for this race and track the pace. This filly will be seeking her third win in a row. A daughter of Speightstown, she has 66% win rate from three starts.

$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#1 Yesternight (Graham / Schultz) will be one of a few speed demons battling on the front end. She has hit the board in all of her races and has put in two sound workouts. This gal will be dropping from a route to this distance. A daughter of Midnight Storm, she is 100% in the money from four career starts.

$2 SHOW.
