Race Date | May 14, 2022 |
Track | Churchill Downs |
Race | 7 |
Overview | A modest AOC with several unproven on the turf, which means #1 WALKATHON (3-1) should be mighty tough off a sharp turf debut. |
Pace | Things should be honest up front, as there a few stretch out sprinters who want to go early, along with a few routers too. |
Trends | With so few turf races run on the new course it’s a bit tough to gauge, though the middle paths down the crown of the course did seem best over the weekend. |
Best Bet | WALKATHON |
Number | 1 |
Morning Line | (3-1) |
Best Bet Overview | #1 WALKATHON (3-1) (turf only): Taking on winners is never east but this filly’s MSW win—in her turf debut—was really sharp, she drew perfectly, and just doesn’t meet much on the rise. |
Picks & Plays | Aggressive WP bet and a must-use/potential single to kick off the late Pk5. |
Stats | CD Meet (POD): 6-2-1-1 ($3.40/$7.77 through 5/7) CD Meet (overall): 67-24-13-8 ($$2.14/$6.40 through 5/7) |
