We look at a nice Stakes race at the mile distance on this Superfecta Sunday.
Churchill Downs Race 11 {Cherokee Mile Stakes~1 mile~ 3 year-old Up~Stakes}
A reduced group of ten will go to the gate in this featured Stakes race.
Past Performances used: Equibase.
There is plenty of speed to keep the pace rolling. Speed numbers are very close with eight in this race having hit the triple digit mark. Only one has yet to race over the Churchill track. One millionaire makes the start. It should be a fantastic race.
#8 Rocket Can (Gaffalione / Mott) comes in with the second highest last out speed number and two diligent workouts. He should track the pace closely. He excels at this distance and loves the surface as well as the track. This guy has improved his speeds in each of his last three starts. A son of Into Mischief, he is 53% in the money from thirteen starts.
$2 WIN / $3 PLACE / $5 SHOW.
#10 Transect (C. Torres / Walden) is the only one who has not raced over the Churchill track. He comes in with a very good speed number and three powerful workouts. This lad has the tactical speed to mold into the pace. A son of Gun Runner, he is 50% in the money from eight starts.
#3 Injunction (Morales / Cowans) is the morning line favorite with a decent last out speed number and two superb workouts. He is exceptional over the dirt, at the distance, and on the Churchill track. This guy is another that has the tactical speed to stay the pace. A son of Skipshot, he is 69% in the money from twenty-three starts.
#7 Scotland (Alvarado / Mott) comes in with a decent last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. He should track the pace closely. This gelding drops in from a graded stakes race. He has posted solid perfomances over the dirt, at the distance, and on the track. A son of Good Magic, he is 66% in the money from twelve starts.
Other Wagering Interests
#1 Brunacini (Machado / Sims) comes in with the highest last out speed number and two hearty workouts. He should be part of the pace scenario. This guy will stretch out to the mile distance. A son of Dortmund, he has a 66% win rate from three starts.
#5 Frosted Departure (Ramos / Hartman) comes in with as the most experienced having doubled up his speed fig in his last two. He exits a longer route with four strong workouts. Look for him to be part of the pace up front. A son of Frosted, he is 44% in the money from twenty-seven starts.
