Walsh sent out two more winners Sunday at Churchill in Chaos Theory ($3.80) and Banks Island ($30.20), giving him 10 at the spring meet, which began May 16, second only behind Brad Cox (12). Walsh ranks fourth or better in several other categories among trainers at this meet (minimum 10 starts), including stable earnings ($539,030), win percentage (24.4), and $2 win ROI ($5.72).

Walsh, of course, is still smarting from his stable star Maxfield having been sidelined as one of the favorites for the Kentucky Derby. Maxfield is recovering from surgery for a condylar fracture suffered in a June 10 workout at Keeneland.
