GULFSTREAM PARK
TOOK A CAB (Race 2 @GP, Feb. 26, 2020) – This cheap maiden claimer had run against the bias back on Feb. 7th and returned in a winnable spot here. Unfortunately, after new rider Jaramillo sent him to the lead he dueled with another horse. He finally put that one away but those efforts took it’s toll in the final 1/16th of a mile. Eligible to win back in the right spot.
NEW HOPE ROAD (Race 4 @GP, Feb. 26, 2020) – Quality Road filly closed belatedly for third behind the top 2 logical horses in first start since June. Barn only 8% off long layoffs so she could improve next out.
Racing News: Churchill Downs’ stock upgraded
FREUDIAN FINISH (Race 9 @GP, Feb. 20) – Returned off a layoff for trainer Brendan Walsh and nearly pulled off a big upset. Got run down late by a sharp closer. There’s a reason Tyler G. took this mount. Can move forward off this strong performance.
OAKLAWN PARK
WAR VETERAN (Race 5 @OP, Feb. 27, 2020) – This four year old is rounding into sharp form for the Ron Moquet barn. 4yo sat a great trip stalking the leading duo before taking over and drawing off as much the best. Should handle the rise to “3 life” company next time out at Oaklawn Park.
SAM HOUSTON
ALWAYS INTHE MUNNY (Race 5 @HOU, Feb. 26, 2020) – 3yo Munnings filly was making only her third start and first for a new barn. She ran a huge race, giving the odds-on favorite everything she could handle. Also sports a nice turf pedigree, so watch for dirt or turf.
