Churchill Downs Race 9

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $201,555

FANATICAL (4) Was found wanting late when 5th last start at Oaklawn Park. Won't be far away during the run. Exhibiting good form since returning from a break. Genuine winning chance. ORANGE DIABLO (2) Back from a break of 36 weeks. Faded to finish 4th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis. Expecting improvement and putting a tidy record together so far. Has a positive alley. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. VALIANT HUMOR (3) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last run here and good career start. Jockey Luan Machado and trainer Brad H Cox are a promising combination. Up to these. JONATHAN'S SONG (11) First appearance at the races 3yo by Practical Joke for trainer Philip A Bauer.
