For this Thursday, November 27 article, Jeremy Plonk shares everything you need to know for the racing card for Churchill Downs.
Churchill Downs: Race 10 (3:45 pm ET) | $400,000 Falls City Stakes
Morning line favorite #10 Regaled comes off back-to-back career-best efforts and the Breeders’ Cup Distaff third-place finisher returns to Churchill Downs less than half the price she was when third in the Locust Grove. She’s pace-dependent and lacks value, as does fellow closer #2 Raging Sea. The more tactical approach of #4 Alpine Princess and #7 Royal Spa should be appreciated, along with the improving #8 Standoutsensation. Hard to argue with four wins and a second in her last 5 starts, making #8 Standoutsensation the value play for me at 8-1 morning line. I love how she got right back on the workout tab two weeks after her Aqueduct road victory, even despite travel.
Win bet #8. Exacta key-box 8 with 4,7.
Churchill Downs: Race 11 (4:14 pm ET) | $300,000 Cardinal Stakes
#11 Proctor Street always has looked like a graded-stakes sort and will get that chance off a Keeneland allowance win without any pace help. In fact, she’s had little to work with from off the pace throughout her career in terms of fast set-ups. The presence of fleet #5 Stylish Sue might help set the table for once. Regally bred #10 Fleetingly is another who could be set to deliver on her promise if she finally gets something to run at in terms of pace.
Win #11. Exacta 11-10. Trifecta 11-all-10.
