Saturday at Churchill Downs is the first stakes-laden card since Kentucky Derby Day nearly two months ago. The 12-race slate is headlined by the $2M Stephen Foster (G1) featuring morning line favorite Sovereignty. The Bill Mott trainee aims to turn the tables on White Abarrio, who handled him relatively easily in Arkansas in April. In addition to the headliner, the card also features a plethora of undercard stakes races and horizontal wagering opportunities. 1/ST BET and Xpressbet are here to make those horizontal wagers that much more enticing with a quartet of $2500 Hit & Split offers spread over the course of the card. Three Pick 5’s and a Pick 4 are available, so be sure to head to the offers page not only to register, but also to confirm the details.Grade Descriptions: A= Highest Degree of Confidence, B= Solid Play, C= Least Preferred or Pass, X= Likely Winner but at odds probably too short to wager on.Race 1:Grade: C+Use: 1 Motivated Mensch; 2 Bet On Silver; 5 Antivenom; 12 Celtic Mo; 4 Twinkle TownForecast: $1.8M FTS August ’25 purchase #11 Powerline was made the 8-5-ML favorite in this full-field of 2YOs competing at 6-furlongs over the main track. The son of Flightline has a pair of bullet gate drills for Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen, but I am unwilling to swallow the short price given the far outside draw and lack of racing experience. I will try to beat the chalk with a number of horses in the early horizontals, including a pair of big prices on the inside. #2 Bet On Silver chased the pace four-wide in his debut on June 4 in a race that fell apart late. He is tough to omit at his 20-1 ML offering. The same is true for first-time starter #1 Motivated Mensch. The rail at times is not ideal for debut runners, but the price should be right to gamble on this Jimmy DiVito trainee. DiVito has only started a pair of 2YO firsters at Churchill Downs over the last three years. Both have won. Motivated Mensch is amongst though with a chance to beat the big ticket Asmussen trainee to kick off the early Pick 5.Race 2:Grade: B-Use: 4 PresideForecast: #5 Direct Strike appears a vulnerable favorite in this two-turn dirt race for MSW foes. The Into Mischief colt has lost against softer fields twice already at the meet, including last out when he was beaten soundly at odds of 4-5. I much prefer #4 Preside. The pricey son of Tiz the Law broke terribly on debut going 7-furlongs earlier this month before putting in a middle move and understandably tiring late. Trainer Steve Asmussen stretches him out to two-turns in his second career start where I expect a big improvement assuming he gets out of the gate in better order. Jose Ortiz takes over riding duties on the $1.5M purchase.Race 3:Grade: BUse: 9 CampobassoForecast: This MSW event for 3YOs+ is at 6.5-furlongs over the main track where I like the chances of second-time starter #11 Campobasso. The son of Street Sense debuted over this same surface and distance on May 31 and ran a solid second in defeat. The Bob Baffert trainee lost by a head that day to an inside speed gate-to-wire winner for the George Weaver barn. He should be tough to beat in career start number two.Race 4:Grade: XUse: 7 Final StoryForecast: I know that #7 Final Story lost by a half-length at odds-on in the Sir Barton on Preakness Day, but the son of Candy Ride ran into another very talented horse in Big Cuddle. That one came back to win his next start against stakes foes, while Final Story gets some class relief in this first level allowance at 1 1/16-miles. I have little interest in trying to take on the Brad Cox runner that is likely to be a very short price once again.Race 5: AnchorageGrade: B-Use: 10 Stylish Sue; 5 Tirupati/1 WarmingForecast: I am not in love with the chances of either of the ML favorites in the first stakes race on the agenda. #9 Vive Veuve was made 5-2 by oddsmaker Nick Tammaro, but I have zero interest at that price. The Collected mare comes in off a win, but over the main track at Lone Star. The draw is not ideal and her form does not stand out much to me. #8 Pin Up Betty gets class relief and has loved this course over the years, but does not appear to be the same animal she was when she won this event last year. I will let her beat me as well. #10 Stylish Sue should have a pace advantage from the outside post. She battled tougher in the Modesty (G3) before finishing second in a Grade 3 at Woodbine over their all-weather course in late May. Jose Ortiz jumps back aboard. #5 Tirupati might get overlooked by the public, but is not without a chance. The Augustin Stable mare was buried on the inside throughout in the Royal Heroine (G3) and should be primed for her best third off the bench at a big price.Race 6:Grade: B-Use: 2 C K Wonder; 8 Bring the SmokeForecast: There does not appear to be much signed on in this second-level allowance at seven-furlongs over the main track. #2 C K Wonder was ridden aggressively out of his inside draw on June 6, shrugged off his fellow pacesetter, and finished a strong second. Martin Garcia is back aboard, so I expect similar tactics on the Vekoma colt. His main competition if the race plays out favoring forwardly placed horses is 3-1-ML favorite #8 Bring the Smoke. The 4YO gelding makes his third start since entering the Whit Beckman barn this winter. The first start came at Keeneland in April where he ran a very good second to a 2-5-favorite before taking advantage of a good trip in the Maryland Sprint (G3). With the lack of speed signed on, Tyler Gaffalione is likely to have him just off the pace in the clear. He could be tough to hold off.Race 7: Fleur de Lis (G2)Grade: B-Use: 5 Shred the GnarForecast: This year’s Fleur De Lis is almost certainly going to be treated like a two-horse race to the gambling public. #1 Splendora is the 4-5-top choice after answering the two-turn test over this course in late May in the Shawnee (G2) with #5 Shred the Gnar back for the first time since her win in the La Troienne (G1). Splendora proved many pundits wrong last out, but she meets a much stronger challenger in this spot in Shred the Gnar. Trainer Brian Lynch keeps winning races in bunches and this gal has been freshened up after her length score in a Grade 1 on Kentucky Oaks Day. I think she is still on the improve and loves this surface. I will live and die with her in the first graded stakes race on the afternoon.Race 8: American DerbyGrade: XUse: 6 AlpylandForecast: I lack creativity in many places on this card, including the next two stakes events where I think it will be tough to beat the top choice. #6 Alpyland has won 2 of 3 with the lone loss being a fourth-place finish to Stark Contrast in the American Turf (G1). That runner would be 1-9 in this spot and the Vekoma gelding lost little in defeat that afternoon. He bounced back with a dominant win in the Penn Mile (G3) and continues to work out decent to good trips due to his speed from the gate and ability to settle. I have little desire in betting against the D J Stable runner to get the late Pick 5 started.Race 9: Bango (G3)Grade: XUse: 2 Cornucopian/7 BuiltForecast: I did not find it easier to think outside the obvious in this 6.5-furlong dash over the main track where #2 Cornucopian remains at the Grade 3 level after a win at odds-on in the Aristides (G3). He did not have things his way two-back against better when down on the inside in the Churchill Downs (G1), but bounced back by showing some grit turning away Roll on Big Joe in the final furlong. He is the clear one to beat in this spot with his main rival being #7 Built. The Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners colt has run some big races and certainly has talent, but has struggled to put his best efforts together in succession. His best can beat the chalk, but he is also capable of regressing at a relatively short price.Race 10: Wise Dan (G2)Grade: C+Use: 1 Silent Heart; 2 Lagynos/6 Dresden RowForecast: I will take a small swing against the logicals in this 1 1/16-mile race over the Churchill grass with #1 Silent Heart. The son of Heart to Heart was claimed off of his gate-to-wire victory over this course in mid-May by trainer Mike Maker. Prior to that he showed big speed and tired in the final stages of an allowance turf sprint at Keeneland. He certainly has to prove he can handle the 8.5-furlongs against this level of competition, but if he can Maker is the man to do it. Luis Saez will have him on the engine most of the way. Hopefully, he has the stamina to see it out. If not, #2 Lagynos probably works out another favorable voyage and gets the money.Race 11: Stephen Foster (G1)Grade: B-Use: 5 MagnitiudeForecast: The featured event drew a field of seven, but will scratch down to five with #6 Forged Steel and #7 Navajo Warrior announced out in advance. Obviously, #3 Sovereignty is the main story making his first start under the twin spires since his win going away in the Kentucky Derby (G1) last May. He found himself on the lead off the bench in the Oaklawn Handicap (G2), which is not his customary spot, so many are giving him that much more of a mulligan for getting beaten handily by #2 White Abarrio in April. I totally get the case, but I have questions about his lack of fight when confronted and the fact the number does not strike me as one that says he is certain to be better as a 4YO. I will try to beat him by getting the jump with #5 Magnitude. The scratches of the two outside runners should benefit the Dubai World Cup (G1) winner. Steve Asmussen has given the son of Not This Time plenty of time since traveling overseas to beat Forever Young and is likely to take some catching. He feels like the best gamble in this $2M 1 1/8-mile event over the main track.Race 12: TepinGrade: BUse: 6 Bohemian; 11 Turner’s Charm/7 How About NowForecast: The pace should be contentious in this one-mile turf event for 3YO fillies, which should benefit a pair of square prices as much as anyone. #6 Bohemian is one of them. The daughter of Essential Quality comes in off a third-place finish over this course against older runners. Trainer Joe Sharp cuts her back a half furlong and legs up the hottest rider on the continent. Both should greatly benefit this filly’s chances. #11 Turner’s Charm is likely to be last early, but can run them all down if they go at it early. She showed a strong turn of foot to win off the layoff on May 7 and can do similar if able to avoid regression in her second start off the bench. Either filly would be a great way to end the day.

Turf, turf and more turf. That’s the buzzword as Colonial Downs begins its Summer Meet this weekend. The Friday (Day 2) card closes with five consecutive races on the grass, three for fillies and mares that make up the $3 Late Pick 3 ticket listed below.Colonial Downs 6th Race (2:55 EST)CHAMPAGNE BRUNCH leaves the barn of Gulfstream Park leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr., but she is worth a live longshot look, nonetheless, to break her maiden off a four-month layoff. Her turf resume includes two one-mile placings at Gulfstream, a pace-setting fade to finish between four next-out winners at Kentucky Downs (avg 75 Beyer) and a brutal trip last out when she was steadied repeatedly and checked out of the race with apparent run on the final turn. She also has some speed, a big plus in this field. IMPROBABLE TALE, fractious in the gate and widest on the final turn, rallied to just miss as the lone first-time starter in a MSW race turf route at Laurel Park. SWEET LITTLE LILA, out-kicked by the winning favorite twice in MSW company at Aqueduct a 2-year-old, could break through with a victory for Team Russell at the same distance.Colonial Downs 7th Race (3:25 p.m. EST)ACHIEVE controlled a moderate pace but found gears as needed in a visually impressive repeat victory in a $25,000 optional claiming race. She beat a weaker field on paper than she meets today, but the winning time was only 2/5 slower than a same-day stakes race for older fillies and mares. She is today’s Pick 3 solo play. Add EPIC STYLE to the ticket if there are any scratches on our suggested ticket. She broke her maiden from post 12 at this distance on the Fair Grounds lawn, posted a pair of 87 Beyers when rallying for second at 5-1/2F recently, now draws the rail for trainer Michael Stidham, who is 17/6-4-2 since May 16 with stretch-out turf runners.Colonial Downs 8th Race (3:56 p.m. EST)Eight of the 12 entrants in this maiden claimer last raced at different tracks. The arrive with a combined 37/0-7-3 record on the lawn. Go deep in the final leg of the sequence, with a lean toward HOTTER THAN FIRE, who raced 3-wide on the turns, vied between rivals in the stretch and got caught by the favorite in a longer route race at Laurel Park.Suggested $3 Pick 3CNL 6th Race: 1, 6, 7CNL 7th Race: 10 (add #1 if scratched)CNL 8th Race: 2, 3, 6, 7, 11Cost for a $3 ticket: $45

The Lead:Woodbine gets an early jump on its July 1 Dominion Day holiday festivities this Saturday with a jam-packed stakes card. Five major stakes will be run in succession in Races 6-10, the richest of which is the Grade 2 $200,000 Highlander Stakes for turf sprinters. The 5-furlong dash is part of a $2,500 Late Pick 5 Hit & Split promotion when you play Saturday's Woodbine card with 1/ST BET and Xpressbet.​​Field Depth:Stakes winners in the 7-runner lineup include GT FIVE HUNDRED, OUTLAW KID and GOLDEN ATTRACTION, the latter Grade 1-placed. WESTERN SHIRL notably is Grade 2-placed. OUTLAW KID has consistently faced the strongest competition amongst this group.​Pace:Not as blazing as you'd expect for 5 furlongs on turf, but MISS VYVYANNE and WESTERN WHIRL are fantastic from the gate and should set the tone.​Our Eyes:Here are my horse-by-horse notes.1-MISS VYVYANNE: 6-year-old mare tackles the boys at her favorite, 5-furlong dash distance in which she's 5-for-6 lifetime. Pure rail speed under Pietro Moran, a jockey who wins 22% with a positive ROI over the past 5 years locally at this turf distance. Only 1 stakes appearance in 24 lifetime starts, but win machine has 11 victories on her ledger.2-GT FIVE HUNDRED: Synthetic specialist is 0-4 on turf and will be making her first appearance on the local sod. Trainer Dale Desruisseaux has been off to a strong start in 2026 and has won 1 of 2 since landing this 6-year-old in his barn from Mike Maker. Gelding has won 4 of last 6 and knocked on door turf sprinting in Kentucky a few times last year. Mixed vibes but prefer others.3-FOXTROTANNA: 7-year-old makes his first start since November and first since relocating to Woodbine-based trainer Steve Attard. Off the board in 3 US stakes tries in a 20-race career that's seen her win just twice. he's lost 13 in a row dating back the past 2 years.4-OUTLAW KID: Saratoga-based veteran has held form at age 7 with a couple of strong stakes showings on the road at Laurel Park for trainer George Weaver. A Woodbine road trip is nothing new for this gelding, who visited in 2023, 2024 and 2025, twice winning stakes on the grass. Jockey Savin Civaci has a positive ROI in 5-furlong turf sprints locally the past 5 years and Weaver remains one of the top turf sprint trainers in the game. Big player.5-WESTERN WHIRL: Speedster has made the lead at the first call in 7 of her last 8 (on both synthetic and turf) and should be vying with the mare on the rail for the front. But this gelding has held onto that lead just once in his last 6 starts. Jockey Fraser Aebly's 22% win rate and positive ROI in 5-furlong turf dashes at Woodbine the past 5 years helps the cause for the narrow Grade 2 Nearctic third-place finisher in his second foray at this specialist's distance. Prefer the other pace player, but chances certainly increase big-time if that rival were to scratch.6-GOLDEN AFTERNOON: 4-year-old has turf sprinted in just 3 of 11 career starts, but owns 2 wins and a runner-up amongst the trio of efforts. None of those were at a distance this short, so expect jockey Rafael Hernandez to launch this one's bid from a stalking position. Versatile sort has won at Churchill, Kentucky Downs, Fair Grounds and Presque Isle for Nick Vaccarezza. His first trip to Woodbine should not be a major obstacle given his past experiences. Grade 1 Franklin Simpson runner-up fits very well here and goes second-off-the-layoff in a great spot in his form cycle.7-READY TO COLLECT: October layoff candidate and former claimer finds a very difficult return assignment. Can't scoff at 5-for-9 mark at this specialist's dash distance, but none of those efforts came against this class level. Won 3 straight to close last year but hasn't been a strong runner off the layoff in the past. Pass for me.Most Likely Exotics Contender:OUTLAW KID has won over the course and distance and kept the strongest company lines in the field.Best Longshot Contender:No massive prices projected, but price key is getting speedball MISS VYVYANNE to carry deep enough into the stretch and hold for second.​Sending it in ($100 bankroll):$60 exacta OUTLAW KID over MISS VYVYANNE. $40 exacta GOLDEN ATTRACTION over MISS VYVYANNE.

The final Twilight Thursday card of the spring at Churchill Downs is upon us with a solid 8-race slate set to begin at 5PM eastern. The card features a trio of allowance races, including two that make up the late Daily Double. Here are the horses I like most.Race 4:The pace should be honest, but not overly chaotic in this open $32k claimer at one-mile over the main track. This should allow #3 Real Macho to work out a great trip under Irad Ortiz Jr. in his second start off the claim for trainer Joe Sharp. Sharp claimed this 5YO gelding from Rohan Crichton out of a $25k spot at the beginning of the meet and he ran well in the first start for his new barn. He finished second to Systematic Change, a runner that took advantage of a great trip off a quick early pace, while Real Macho was stalking three-wide as part of the early proceedings. I like the way the son of Mucho Macho Man easily put away the inside speed horses before being unable to go with the eventual winner. With the pace likely to be a bit softer and the stretch out to the one-turn mile, Real Macho should be in a perfect spot early and able to seal the deal late for his fifth lifetime score.Play: #3 Real Macho (7-2 ML)Picks: 3-7-9Race 6:It could be a big evening for Irad Ortiz, who rides 5-2-ML favorite #2 About Face in this MSW event at one-mile over the turf. The son of Candy Ride debuted in a two-turn race in Arkansas for Brad Cox suggesting the barn knew he was not fast and instead would be best using his stamina. Cox moved the Gary & Mary West homebred to the turf last out at Churchill Downs where he ran very well to finish second at odds of 9-1. In that first grass try, the 3YO colt was between rivals most of the way a couple of lengths off the early pacesetter. The pacesetter ended up being a long shot that got brave on the front end and won going away. One could argue About Face ran fine, but not worthy of taking a short price in his next start. My response would be that he meets a modest field, draws favorably along the rail, and gets a big rider upgrade after a promising first trip over a new surface. He is going to take some beating with a move forward off his May 25 run.Play: #2 About Face (5-2 ML)Picks: 2-4-11Race 7:My final Twilight Thursday play of the meet comes in this first-level allowance for 3YOs at the tricky 6.5-furlong distance where #1 It’s Our Time makes his return to the races. The 5-2-ML favorite dazzled with a massive number on all metrics in his debut at Saratoga last August, but has not been able to get close since. He certainly could be ready to fire another big one off the long break, but I will play against these horses every day of the week and twice on Sunday. It just is a difficult task to get a horse back to that sort of effort on debut, yet the public is often attracted to these horses far more than I am.I much prefer #7 Munnings Challenge. The Brad Cox trainee has a win and two seconds in three starts, including a runner-up effort to American Man last out. Not only is American Man a length away from a 3 for 3-start to his career, but he had a tactical advantage over Munnings Challenge when they raced in late May since the latter was down on the inside throughout on a day where the outside was more favorable. With the move to an outside draw, Irad Ortiz should have options out of the gate instead of having his hand forced to send aggressively. This colt has speed, but settling on the outside should allow him to finish with more energy in his second local start.Play: #7 Munnings Challenge (7-2 ML)Picks: 7-6-9

The start of closing week to the spring meeting at Churchill Downs begins on Wednesday afternoon with a nine-race card that gets started at 12:45 PM eastern. The slate features a pair of solid allowance races late in the day and gets a big five days in Louisville started capped off by two great wagering cards. Here are a few horses I like most.Race 1:My first play of the week comes in the opener, which is an open $20k claimer at 1 1/16-miles over the main track where I like #7 Great Escape. The two most recent efforts from this 7YO gelding leave a lot to be desired, but they both came over a sloppy track for his former barn. Trainer Joe Sharp claimed the son of Midnight Storm for $20,000 on May 22 and legs up Irad Ortiz Jr. for his first start under his care. Sharp takes the blinkers off of Great Escape, a move which he has only done six times over the last five years with horses he has raced first off the claim. He has won with two of those and comes in hot having tallied four wins over the final three days of racing in Louisville last week. Do not be surprised if the veteran conditioner has a big final week of the spring under the twin spires with this new acquisition getting things started.Play: #7 Great Escape (7-2 ML)Picks: 7-1-4Race 6:This MSW event for fillies and mares at one-mile over the grass is wide-open based on Nick Tammaro’s morning line with a lukewarm 4-1-ML favorite. I like #3 Conquering Marin. The Irish-bred returns to a two-turn trip after a pair of turf sprints in the Blue Grass this spring. She tried a route of ground back in February in her first start in the States for Brendan Walsh, but was headstrong early and caught wide throughout. She was also caught extremely wide most of the way in her first race over this turf course on May 14. Now, she moves inside and attracts Flavien Prat. Hopefully, Prat can do what he does best and find a way to relax this daughter of Ghaiyyath early, so she can run her race late. If so, I like her chances to breakthrough for career victory number one.Play: #3 Conquering Marin (5-1 ML)Picks: 3-6-8Race 9:The card concludes with a second-level allowance at one-mile over the grass where the pace should be honest with #1 Johny’s Rendezvous and #2 Barb likely to show early zip from their inside draws and perhaps #9 Joejoe Go from the outside. This should set things up enough for 5-2-ML favorite #3 Love’m Or Liam. There is no doubt this son of Liam’s Map got a much stronger setup in his win on May 9 than he is likely to get in the Wednesday finale, but he has shown a strong turn of foot in all starts since moving to the grass. Despite the rise in class, Love’m Or Liam does not meet that much tougher of a group than he encountered in his most recent score. In fact, the horse that finished second that day came back to win in Louisville in his next start flattering the Bill Mott trainee’s three-length victory. He will not be 5-1 like last time, but should be tough to hold off once again under jockey Jaime Torres.Play: #3 Love’m Or Liam (5-2 ML)Picks: 3-6-7
