CHURCHILL DOWNS · RACE 6
UPCOMINGState-Bred Allowance · $62,000 purse
Allowance, for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up.
Allowance race — a step above claiming. No horses are for sale; written conditions limit the field to horses of similar experience.
● Track record at 6 Furlongs: 67.55
The shape is the story here: the early pace looks honest rather than contested — expect a fairly run race where class and trip decide it, not pace collapse.
Our number tops on #4 Lockdownyourtown (a presser/stalker, M/L 8-5). Recent figures: 87 · 82 · 83. It hit the board last time and stays in form. Backup is #3 Noroomformischief at 5-2. Use #6 Lindy Can in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.
The field, ranked
Our order, top to bottom.
Tops the field on speed figures, an 87 against 84 for the next best. Led at the first call last time.
Best Brisnet figure in the field over its last five: 87, with 84 next best. 3rd last time, 1 length back, in a field of 10.
Comes off a turf start and tries the dirt here. Drops from allowance to starter allowance.
Sarah E Shaffer takes over the training from Jordan Blair. A step up in company: $20,000 claiming before, starter allowance today.
199 days since the last start, the longest layoff in here, so it needs the works to say it's ready. Figures have slipped: 84, 73, 69 over its last three.
Shortens up to 6 furlongs after going 7 furlongs. Went to the front early last out (early pace figure 83).
Winner of a 12-horse maiden claiming $30,000 race at CD last time. Fastest 4F work of its morning on Oct 10 (:47.20), a sign it is training forwardly.
