COLONIAL DOWNS
SPOT PLAYS
Race 7
#5 Miss
Authentic
Stands at
10-1 odds on the morning line and has a much better chance than that to win the
race. Earned her maiden win at Colonial Downs last year which was the first of a
streak of three straight wins when entered in dirt route races like this one
including a big win at Oaklawn two starts ago. Lost a monumentally tougher race
last time against Nitrogen in the G3 Bayakoa Stakes and will have an excellent
chance to rebound.
Race 9
#1 Buetane
Plus
exacta box with #7 Incredibolt
#1 Buetane
makes the trip cross-country from his California base for trainer Bob Baffert
and has finished in the money in three straight graded stakes spots including a
second to 2-year-old champion Ted Noffey in Saratoga’s G1 Hopeful Stakes last
fall, a second in Santa Anita’s 7F G2 San Vicente Stakes, and a third last time
in the G3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Buetane finds the perfect spot to
finally get over the hump here with Flavien Prat aboard.
Play in
exacta box with #7 Incredibolt, who is the lone stakes winner in the field
after his promising victory in the G3 Street Sense Stakes at Churchill Downs
last fall for trainer Riley Mott. Disappointed last time when sixth in the
Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes, but he may have needed that 3-year-old seasonal debut
outing after a short layoff and he can be counted on for a better effort at
solid odds as the wagering bandwagon in him clears out at 10-1 odds on the
morning line.
