The turkey hangover is starting to subside and you’ve seen enough pie until Christmas. It’s time to hit some winners and have a little something extra to be thankful. Think of this as a little early edition of Santa sliding down your chimney with a bankroll.

 

Churchill Downs

 

Saturday

 

Race #5 – #3 – Cardiac Kid = Son of American Pharoah for Kenny Meek – Been off 2 months and his last race showed good promise on the sod.

 

Race #8 – #10 – Cornbread Kingdom = His dam has 2 starters and 2 winners – This son of Uncle Mo has a sparkling workout and may be dangerous right out

 

Race #9 – The G2 Golden Rod – #2 – Turtle Trax = She is a solid closer and gets two turns today – Leparoux will have her in top gear turning for home

 

Race #11 – #4 – South Bend = This colt is a perfect 3/3 with wins and has two wins over the CD oval – He’s gonna be nasty tough.

 

 

 

Sunday

 

Churchill Downs

 

Race #7 – #5 – Speightstown Angel = Meek trainee who was moving late and showed good late kick going 7f – Cuts back to 6f and get a new rider in B.J. Hernandez.

 

Race #8 – #3 – Perfectly Majestic = Been off for more than a year for the Peter Miller barn who is winning 44% at the meet – Takes a class drop, works over the track, and the barn wins 23% off a last race win.

 

Race #9 – #8 – Liberty Blue = Son of Constitution who wins 23% with his first time starters. – Well, this is his 2nd start but was very rank down the backstretch. – I’m tossing that race and enjoying the move to B.J. Hernandez for Ken Meek and the price is square.

 

Race #11 – #2 – Chess Chief = Blinkers off and a huge drop in class. – Dallas Stewart does well with fresh runners and some solid works over the track.
