A huge day of racing at Churchill this Saturday, with seven stakes races on tap !
I'm handicapping the final four (Races 9-12) which include a nice mix of two on the turf and two on the dirt -- and -- two Grade II and one Grade III contests.

THE PLAY
I'll chase a late Pick 4 with my picks, but there could be money to be made with trifectas today. If you are looking to "shorten up" your cost, you might look at just going two deep in thee the Stephen Foster Race 11) , with 8- Maxfield and 5-- Silver Dust , but, this is a wide open card today and there competition is top notch.
As of this morning, the track is fast and the turf is firm. I'll try to update scratches as best I can here, temps will be extremely warm and humid, so there might be a couple or so.
Bet 'em anyway you like and good luck today !
