I hope you feasted at the dinner table on Thanksgiving and also stuffed your account balance after a $9 suggested trifecta play in the Cardinal Stakes returned a juicy $379.18. We’re back at it for Churchill Downs on Black Friday, where the Mrs. Revere Stakes and Clark Stakes are co-featured.

Both stakes races are part of our Turkey Bowl holiday week bonanza. Customers who hit win bets ($10 base minimum or higher) on a minimum of 10 different selected stakes races between Thursday and Sunday will earn an equal split of $10,000 in bonus cash.

Churchill Downs: Race 10 (5:25 pm ET) | $300,000 Mrs. Revere Stakes
Hard to knock 7-5 morning line favorite #1 Lush Lips, whose sharp victory in the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup at Keeneland was flattered when 2-4 finishers Laurelin and Fionn came back to sweep the exacta in the Jockey Club Oaks in New York. Seven straight top-2 finishes for Lush Lips include a couple of local stakes tries on the Churchill course. A field of 12 makes for appealing intra-race exotics even if you like the favorite. #10 Pretty Picture got no pace help whatsoever in the Sands Point when closing for third, earning an easily field-best 106 BRIS late pace figure. The runner-up in that race, Fast Market, already came back to win the Pebbles (and will be re-matched Friday). Trifecta 1-10-all for 2 units; 1-4-all for 1 unit. Daily Double 1-2 to next play.

Churchill Downs: Race 11 (5:54 pm ET) | $600,000 Clark Stakes
A bullet workout November 14 and reunion with Flavien Prat makes #2 First Mission highly attractive at a 5-1 morning line price in the Clark. This kind of stakes that’s just-off-the-top-cusp has been his wheelhouse the past 3 seasons. He comes in freshened since a California road trip in September while his local resume includes a second by a nose in this race in 2023. Prat piloted him to victory in the Oaklawn Handicap. Win bet #2 First Mission. Exactas 2 with 4,9. #4 Gosger should benefit from blinkers and a weight break against elders, as could Magnitude in his first try outside the 3YO ranks.
