Hoosier Park Race 1

Race 1

Prize Money: $30,683

M M S BUD (7) was once again right in the mix last time out when runner-up over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 metres. Has to contend with a very wide draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. COACH STEFANOS (6) showed plenty of fight to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 0.9 metres. His last-start form is good enough to put him right in the finish. GOLDEN BAY N (5) is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at this track a week ago. Big chance to keep the ball rolling. RIP WHEELER (3) must be respected after scoring last start by 9 metres at this track over 1609m.
