Churchill Downs Picks for June 14, 2023:A Guidance from Mr. Ed
Swingin' with Mr. Ed: Let's face it, I don't have the peculiar ability to predict winners with fair accuracy, but I'm a master at identifying potential scratches. Just take a glance at yesterday's card - two of my best bets and three others didn't make it to the starting gate. Checking Friday's results, it was Brad Cox leading all trainers with three visits to the Winner's Circle, while Luan Machado dominated jockeys with three winners. Luis Saez had a terrific duo of scores. As we move forward, here's what the forecast promises for Saturday's 10-race card featuring two stakes - rainy conditions after Friday's downpour.
Mr. Ed's Picks for Saturday (06/14) at Churchill Downs
Race 1 (12:45 p.m. ET/9:45 a.m. PT) - $92K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT for fillies and maidens, 3YOs & up going 1 mile Mr. Ed's top choices are #2 DAWN AFTER DAWN (2-1 morning line) for trainer Brendan Walsh, who introduces Lasix, blinkers, and top jockey Luis Saez, and #6 MADDIENLIZZYSHONOR (4-1) for trainer John Ortiz, who retains jockey Reylu Gutierrez for the cutback to a mile. Why not try a $5 Daily Double of 2,6/2,6?
Race 2 (1:14 p.m. ET/10:14 a.m. PT) - $35K MAIDEN CLAIMING for 3YOs & up going 1 1/16-mile My picks for this race are #2 KEVIN'S STRIKE (3-1 morning line) for trainer Tom Amoss with new jockey Jose Ortiz, and #6 ENCRYPT (7-2) for trainer Bill Walden with Christian Torres aboard. If you're feeling lucky, give the 2,6/2,6 Daily Double a go.
Race 3 (1:43 p.m. ET/10:43 a.m. PT) - $75K MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT for fillies and mares, 3YOs & up going 61⁄2 furlongs Mr. Ed is wagering on #5 CLAIRE'S RUN (2-1 morning line), a pricey second-time-starter from trainer Phil Bauer, who stays with Martin Garcia in the saddle. She was beaten as the favorite in her shorter turf debut. Changes should be beneficial.
Race 4 (2:13 p.m. ET/11:13 a.m. PT) - $134K ALLOWANCE CLAIMING for 3YO fillies going a mile on turf I like a trio for this race: #2 STUDIO HALL (8-1 morning line), a promising filly for Bill Walden with Christian Torres; #3 MEAN EILEEN (4-1) trained by Joe Sharp, who retains Frankie Dettori following her win in the slop; and #6 MILA ROSE (4-1) for trainer Steve Asmussen. Jose Ortiz is in the saddle while taking a drop from the G3 stakes. Any two of three for the win.
Race 5 (2:45 p.m. ET/11:45 a.m. PT) - $175K MONOMOY GIRL STAKES for 3YOs going 1 1/16-mile I'm betting on #5 RUNNING AWAY (9-2 morning line) to dash the four-race winning streak of #2 IMMERSIVE (4-5). Johnny Velazquez resumes his role on the saddle for top trainer Wesley Ward. Upset alert!
Race 6 (3:18 p.m. ET/12:18 p.m. PT) - $78K CLAIMING for 3YOs & up going a mile My choice is #6 PRINCETOWN (5-2 morning line) for trainer Bill Mott and jockey Jaime Torres. Sophomore takes a drop in class and seeks a repeat victory following a rest. Welcome to the Ivy League!
Races 7-10 (3:50 p.m. ET/12:50 p.m. PT) - $1 Pick 4- Race 7: 1,3,6- Race 8: 1,2,5,7- Race 9: 6- Race 10: 3,4,6,7 ($48)
Race 9 (4:55 p.m. ET/1:55 p.m. PT) - $134K ALLOWANCE CLAIMING for 3YOs & up going 1 1/16-mile It's time for Mr. Ed's BEST BET OF THE DAY - #6 NOT THIS BOY (8-5 morning Line) for trainer Bill Cowans with a substantial jockey change to Brian Hernandez. This gelding has never finished worse than second in five starts and excels on wet tracks. Ready for some more ground? Here we go!
