There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Thursday, including at Kentucky Downs race track. We have been in form with our picks for a long time and have made a profit of +297.6 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!
Here are our best bets for today’s action at Kentucky Downs.
12:25 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 1) – Laugh and Play 5/2 (2-star play)
Showed little in his first two starts but broke through for a length victory in a $40,000 maiden claiming contest over six furlongs on a good turf course at Belmont Park in May. Joined current handler Michael Maker after that event and the daughter of Into Mischief battled to a nose “victory” in a $50,000 claimer over a mile-and-one-sixteenth at Saratoga subsequently. Disqualified and placed second that day and is taken to make amends dropping back in trip.
1:31 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 3) – Stud Lovin 7/5 (2-star play)
Cost connections $220,000 at the sales in Florida earlier this year and the son of Nquist made the perfect start to his career when drawing seven-and-three-quarter-lengths clear of his rivals in a five-and-one-half-furlong maiden special weight on the main track at Ellips Park last month. Represents a stable who can boast a 32% strike-rate (6/19) at this meeting and looks up to making a winning turf debut following a 1:01.40 five furlong breeze at Churchill Downs’ training track.
4:57 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 9) – Sharp Aza Tack 7/5 (2-star play)
Unbeaten in two starts following up a maiden special weight success at Santa Anita with an impressive victory in the Tyro Stakes at Monmouth Park at the end of July. Both of those victories have come over five furlongs but he should stay this trip and coming into this event on the back of a 49 second four furlong work on the main track at Keeneland the son of Sharp Azteca is taken to record a second stakes victory.
