Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Stake: $16,899

LOW RIDER (6) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 25 metres into ninth at Northfield Park over 1609m. Has the talent to find the winners' list. DOWNBYTHEOCEAN (2) had to dig deep to salute last time out over 1609m at this track, getting home by just 1.5 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. ALWAYSTELLTHETRUTH (5) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1609m at this track two weeks ago.
