Saturday November 22, Churchill's River City Handicap GIII 100k

System's Ratings for River City Handicap @ Churchill Downs

Thorn Song- 11.5
Karelian- 10.5
Steve's Double- 9.38
Canela- 8.75
Demarcation-8.5
Mr. Sidney- 8.25
Star Plus- 7.5
Yate's Black Cat- 7.25
Just As Well- 7
Telling- 5
Pleasant Strike- 5

This is a cool race. Thorn Song will be the favorite. He shows up, very honest. Look at his form. He likes the lead, I would'nt say he needs it, but he'd rather be there. If he is going to get out in front, he's going to have to do from the outside 11 slot.

Try to find some value in this race. Although the highest rating, Thorn Song faces some obstacles.

Longshot Chance?
I spoke to Jonathan Sheppard this summer about Just As Well, and the master-trainer mentioned the 5-year-old was a half brother to an undefeated filly in Europe, by the name of Rainbow View. Rainbow View, now 4-for-4, may be the best 2-year-0ld of any sex in the WORLD. Yeah, world.

Even though he has a famous sister, Just As Well will have to improve to win Saturday.
