Evangeline Downs Race 3

1M Stakes

Stake: $60,750

KENMORE WEST (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in second over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Will enjoy a drop in class so he is sure to be there at the business end. THE BOSS SOSS (4) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt), finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. GIVEMEASECOND (5) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at Fairgrounds at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. PATIENCE WILL PAY (1) is an exciting galloper unbeaten after two starts. Last raced when successful by 1.3 lengths over 1408m at Delta Downs four-and-a-half months ago. Big chance again.
