Churchill Downs Race 8

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $104,199

TOUGH CUSTOMER (7) just missed last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Leading chance. COCKTAILSNKRINGLE (3) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1811m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on February 22. Comes here with definite claims. DU MONDE (8) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1207m contest at Horseshoe Indianapolis six weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. ROCK IT (6) stepped out on his debut over 1710m at Keeneland (Turf) seven-and-a-half weeks ago and finished tenth, beaten 21 lengths. With the blinkers added he is one to watch at the second run back.
