Churchill Downs Race 3

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $143,750

LA HOULIGAN (2) Nice effort to run into 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at Oaklawn Park and drawn nicely. Good career start. Right in the thick of it and is a major player. SOLE LUTE (4) Did well to place 3rd beaten by close to 7L last time at Oaklawn Park and putting a tidy record together. In fine form this preparation. Will give a big sight. LEBOMBO (5) Moved through the field into 5th last start at Oaklawn Park but will have to carry extra weight. Displays very good closing speed. Cannot underestimate. SIXTYSEVEN MUSTANG (1) Was agonizingly close last run at Oaklawn Park on a heavy track and has drawn to do little work. Not out of this.
