Off-the-turf races can present enticing betting opportunities
Trademark won the 2022 Commonwealth Turf S. at Churchill Downs despite being the second choice behind Actuator. The horse had dominated a maiden special weight and an $80,000 allowance optional claimer in gate-to-wire fashion. The recent meeting at Keeneland hinted that Trademark was now the better horse. He won by four lengths. It was a wet track. There were 11 entries for the race. Five horses scratched. Trademark was the third choice. Actusator was second favorite. They had been competing in the Clark (G1) at the Churchill Down two days earlier.
