CHURCHILL DOWNS


POST-SCRATCHES


8th: S/ALW, F&M-3+, 6.5f (P5, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Yes, Miss Ellary is the horse to beat, but she loves to finish 2nd and there are several right in range for honors..

Most Likely: #3 Carolina Candy 5-1 4th
Next Best: #7 Miss Ellary 3-1 2nd
Best Value: #10 Dozen Diamonds 12-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #6 Creative Quality 5-1 7th


9th: CLM/N2L, 3+, 7f (P4, P3, DD, Hi-5)

Long lost Good Money (4th beaten <1 length as part of the notorious non-wagering '24 Tampa Bay Derby) won't be 8-1, but new gelding is the horse to beat dropping below price of claim..

Best Value: #2 Good Money 8-1 WON ($7.90)
Next Best: #3 Sand Street 9-2 11th
Exotics Use: #10 Gallo de Fuego 3-1 7th
Super Add: #9 Hard to Say 7-2 9th


10th: Mrs. Revere (G2), 3yo-F, 8.5f-T (P3, DD, Hi-5)

Classic Q has been rock solid with some bad trip luck the difference between a good and great season. Should dictate terms up front as 2nd choice behind G1 QEII victress Lush Lips. Rusty's In the Stars (15-1) is the competitive fun price candidate, while Walsh's secondary entrant Somethinabouther (8-1) rarely misses a stakes board..

Most Likely: #4 Classic Q 3-1 3rd
Best Value: #9 In the Stars 15-1 7th
Next Best: #1 Lush Lips 7-2 WON ($3.14)
Exotics Use: #8 Somethinabouther 8-1 10th

11th: Clark (G2), 3+, 9f (DD, Hi-5)

Super competitive Clark where favored Hit Show is just one of the ones that can win. Feels like the 3yo's with upside are the right approach..

Most Likely: #4 Gosger 4-1 6th
Next Best: #9 Magnitude 9-2 WON ($6.36)
Best Value: #2 First Mission 5-1 7th
Exotics Use: #6 Rattle N Roll 7-2 5th
