Churchill Downs: DRF Plus handicapping report for May 10, 2014

Race 1

Spot Play

GALLANT EAGLE (#2, 3-1): You talk about a horse needing a race, and you point to this guy, who stands to benefit greatly from that last out over the Kee Poly after being away four months. Now finds the race shape in his favor as a pace stalker; hard-trying sort likes to be a part of it; third choice on the M/L actually is the one to beat. – Marty McGee

Spot Play

SUMMER CAMP (#7, 7-2) might be able to steal this sprint with a clean break, despite her outside post; dangerous if able to shake loose in the opening stages. -Kenny Peck

Race 5

Spot Play

KATIE’S EYES (#1, 3-1): Grass-bred filly finds an unusually competitive 1x spot but seems up to the task when exiting some tough stakes. Forster says he’s eager to get her on the lawn, with her pedigree and high-knee action, and she couldn’t come drawn any better when assigned the rail. Onward and upward for this filly. – Marty McGee

Vulnerable Favorite

Granted, PURSE STRINGS (#8, 5-2) didn't break well ine debut but she also didn't have any punch despite good positioning thereafter; today's extra sixteenth doesn't figure to help the cause. -Kenny Peck
