Has been facing better, picks up Borel, and also has a proven affinity for the surface.<br /><br />Very chalky race.

Also note that Colizeo loves Churchill Downs, as he's just a nose away from being 3-for-3 over the local surface, with all three races coming at today's distance. Expecting a good run here.DiscreetPickshttp://www.discreetpicks.comnoreply@blogger.com
