Wednesday wagers: Trainer Please should score at Churchill
The final Wednesday program of the brief September meet at Churchill Downs starts at 12:45 p.m. EDT. I highlight my five favorite heats below.
No. 6 Braganza (10-1) is working smartly at Churchill for Eddie Kenneally. No. 7 Please Be Kind (6-5) could get overbet on the class drop.
Wednesday wagers: Trainer Please should score at Churchill. How I'd bet it (based on a $100 budget): $10 win 6, $4 exacta box 6/7.
No. 5 Keepcalmcarryon (3-1) gets the nod in this well-matched group of claimers. No. 4 Icarus (2-2) has never raced on dirt in six efforts to date. Tom Amoss (23) is no slouch.
Wednesday wagers: Trainer Please should score at Churchill. How I'd bet it: $2 exacta box 4/5/6, $1 trifecta boxes 4-5-6.
Trainer Please is the morning-line favorite for the race 4 at Churchill. Rafael Bejarano picks up the call on a Doug O'Neill trainee. No. 4 Out Work’n has hit the board in each of his last five starts.
No. 1A Kittansett (10-1) has won each of his last two starts on dirt. No. 2 West Will Power (9-5) ran a big one off the bench in a minor stake at Ellis, but couldn't do better than second. Intrepid Heart (2-2) is also a bit of a mystery. Julien Leparoux (23: 7-3- 1) will ride him.
No. 11 Endless Sunset (10-1) has been competing with mixed results since beating similar foes by open lengths here back in June. No. 3 Ice Blast (3-2) had a productive summer on dirt at Lone Star before failing to record a win in back-to-back turf tries. Steve Asmussen is looking to turn things around after a 2-for-27 start to the meet.
