Churchill Downs Late Pick 4 -- 5/16/20

Racing returns to Churchill Downs today. It looks like it'll be a sloppy track early in the card and two of the last four races are scheduled for the turf -- so changes and scratches are quite possible. They might also move the turf racing to the main dirt track, so there are many variables possible. 

No fans in the stands, of course. TV though, so, you can at least watch. 

Since I'm doing these picks earlt Saturday morning, be prepared for changes. Opening days can always be a bit tricky and there are full fields with plenty of "also eligible" listed for the races -- so good luck! Here's what I have for the Late Pick 4 (races 8-11)


RACE 8 -- ALLOWANCE 81K -- I MILE (TURF) 

12 -- CLEAR FOR ACTION
7 -- LIMMERY
6 -- LABEQ
1 -- BAMA BREEZE 

(IF OFF THE TURF OR IF SCRATCHES OCCUR -- CONSIDER THESE TWO:  #17 DINAR AND #5 DANNY CALIFORNIA) 


RACE 9 -- CLAIMING 50K -- SEVEN FURLONGS

1 -- PATROL
12 -- ADMIRE
2 -- ADHAR
7 -- GOING WITH STYLE


RACE 10 -- OPTIONAL CLAIMING 75K -- SEVEN FURLONGS

2 -- PORTRAIT
4 -- JOYSOME
1 -- MO CITY
8 -- FOUR GRACES


RACE 11 -- ALLOWANCE 84K -- 5-1/2 FURLONGS -- (TURF) 

4 -- KARAK
3 -- CALL ON MISCHIEF
9 -- BREDENBURY
10 -- FLY SO PRETTY

(IF OFF THE TURF OR IF SCRATCHES OCCUR -- CONSIDER THESE TWO: #11 CHILI PETIN AND #15 RISING SEA)


Best of luck today. A ton of great horses, trainers and jockeys are at Churchill, so the competition should be intense and, hopefully, the payoffs pretty decent !!
