Churchill: Classy Corinthian well positioned

Classy Corinthian should handle either surface well

Pat Dupuy has been maximizing his opportunities. The veteran trainer typically trains just a horse or two at a time, but mostly because of a couple of promising 3-year-old fillies named I’m a Looker and Classy Corinthian, Dupuy has won at a nifty 29 percent rate (seven for his last 24) since last September. Having seen both through their first allowance condition in their respective last starts, Dupuy has entered them for Glenmare Farm as a stable coupling versus five other 3-year-old fillies in the $54,000 feature Friday at Churchill Downs – although Classy Corinthian, favorably drawn in the far outside post, likely will be his only starter.

Santa Anita turf aeration, rain help course play softer

Events unfold at a slower pace on the Santa Anita turf course these days. Since the start of the spring-summer meeting on April 24, final times of turf races have been noticeably slower than the last weeks of the track’s winter-spring meeting that ended on April 19. The slower times are a result of ongoing maintenance to avoid surface compaction, a rare May rainstorm that produced approximately an inch of rain, and cool recent weather.

Competitive Edge, the unbeaten winner of the Pat Day Mile in his most-recent start, is more likely to run in the Grade 2, $500,000 Woody Stephens Stakes for 3-year-olds on June 6 at Belmont Park rather than the Grade 1, $1.25 million Metropolitan Mile against older horses the same day, trainer Todd Pletcher said.
