Fair Grounds Race 8

Maiden Special Weight

Stake: $94,272

PREPPED (2) stepped out on his debut over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. CARSON STREET (12) went forward last start over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 1.5 lengths. Likely to press forward from wide out. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. FAKE SMART (9) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 1207m at Keeneland (Dirt) on October 24. Fitter and is one of the chances. SHUGGY (8) stepped out on his debut over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago and finished eighth, beaten 5 lengths. Worth following up.
