A Sunshiny Stakes Saturday

 We look in on a great Stakes sprint under the Twin Spires.

Churchill Downs Race 10 {Bet On Sunshine Stakes-6 Furlongs-3 year-old-Stakes}

A reduced field of eleven will go to the gate in this featured race on the card.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is enough speed to produce an honest pace. Speed numbers are fairly close making this one highly competitive. Only three have yet to compete over the Churchill dirt. One will attempt the distance for the first time. Only one has yet to hit the triple-digit speed fig mark in their career. It should be a fantastic race.

#8 Greenwich Village (J. Ortiz / Baffert) will try the distance for the first time cutting back from a route. He should track the pace closely. This colt is well prepped with four strong peaking workouts. He exits a grade one over the Turf. A son of Quality Road, he holds a win rate of 60% from five starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#7 Obliteration (L. Saez / Asmussen) has won all three of his starts at this distance. He is the morning line favorite. This guy is another that should track the pace closely. He comes to the race with the second highest last out speed number and one decent workout. A millionaire son of Violence, he is 84% in the money from thirteen starts.

$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#4 C K Wonder (M. Garcia / Romans) holds the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. He will be seeking his third win in a row. This guy is another that will be tracking the pace closely. He is proficient at the distance. A son of Vekoma, he is 42% in the money from fourteen starts.

$2 SHOW.

#3 Viking (Gaffalione / Fawkes) will be the speed. He comes to the race with repeater speed figs in his last two races.
