Horse Racing picks for Kentucky Downs race track on Wednesday, September 8: American Diamond is a cut gem

On the Dirt

There is plenty of great horse racing action to look forward to across America on Wednesday, including at Kentucky Downs race track. We are in scorching-hot form with our picks; we have hit 50 winners in our last 108 races, profiting 76.7 units during this hot stretch. Let’s keep it rolling! Here are 3 runners whom we think look to be a class above the opposition in their respective races. It’s time to dive in and take a look at some potentially lucrative plays.

1:27 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 3) – American Diamond 3/1

Has finished in the top four in three of his four starts to date including twice in maiden special weight races. Dropped in grade to a maiden claimer when finishing a good third having raced from off the pace in a competitive contest over a mile-and-one-sixteenth on turf at Churchill Downs in June. Has been given a break since then and looks capable of returning with a victory following a 37.40 three furlong breeze and Indiana Grand Racecourse recently.

4:15 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 8) – Forty Under 5/2

Has competed successfully at stakes level in the past including when registering Graded success as a juvenile and he registered a first victory since that triumph when running out the half-length winner of an allowance optional claiming race over a mile-and-one-eighth at Saratoga just over a month ago. Tyler Gaffalione who was on board for that victory is again in the saddle and the son of Uncle Mo is taken to register a fourth victory in 14 career starts.

4:50 pm Kentucky Downs (Race 9) – Snapper Sinclair 5/2

Demonstrated good form in three starts this campaign including when fourth in the valuable Group 2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan Racecourse in the UAE back in March. Has made just the one US start since with that coming when runner-up at Churchill Downs at the end of April. Confirmed his wellbeing with a 51.00 second four furlong breeze at Ellis Park at the start of this month. Can take this having placed at the top level as recently as December.
