CHURCHILL DOWNS
OPENING NIGHT
SPOT PLAYS
Race 4
#7 Lord I
Wonder
Had
trouble in two starts this winter at Fair Grounds but actually she’s a horse
with speed as she displayed in her wire-to-wire win right here at Churchill
Downs last fall. Just needs a clean trip to get back to doing what she does
best.
Race 9
#6 Harbor
Springs
Plus exacta box with #1 Non Violence
#6 Harbor
Springs appeared to come into her own late last year with a big win here at
Churchill and then validated that good form with another sharp win last time
with an even higher speed figure at Fair Grounds. Irad Ortiz Jr. gets the mount,
and she should keep winning if she shows up with another similar effort.
Play in
exacta box with #1 Non Violence, who struck out in a two-race turf experiment
to begin this year but he exploded for an 8 1/4-length stakes win at Evangeline
Downs last time when switched back to the dirt. Cuts back in distance today to this
sprint, but she’s been successful before at this distance and was a winner of
her only career start so far at Churchill Downs.
