Horse Racing Odds, Picks, and Betting Analysis | September 19th Edition

Churchill Downs | Saturday, Sep. 24

  • Grade 3 Dogwood Stakes – 7 furlongs dirt – 3 year old fillies

Steve Asmussen trained Echo Zulu returns to the races. The Gun Runner sired miss won her first 5 races before finishing fourth in the Kentucky Oaks in May. 7 furlongs is a great distance for Echo, which is why she’ll go off at less than even money odds to win the Dogwood.

Last Leaf, stablemate Wicked Halo, Tarabi, and Gunning will also run. Echo Zulu’s top competition should come from Todd Pletcher trained Colorful Mischief. 

Parx | Saturday, Sep. 24

  • Grade 2 Gallant Bob – 6 furlongs dirt – 3 year olds

Pletcher figures to have one of the favorites in the Gallant Bob when Todd puts the saddle on Provocateur. The Pletcher colt is going to have to earn it.

Connections for 10 other runners plan on entering the G-Bob. Jelly Nougat, Scaramouche, Little Vic, Of a Revolution, Runninsonofagun, Lightening Larry, Dance Code, Friar Laurence, Apprehend, and Alottahope are pointing to the Gallant Bob.   

  • Grade 1 Cotillion – 1 1/16 miles dirt – 3 year old fillies

Bob Baffert plans on running Grade 2 Black-eyed Susans runner up Adare More in the Grade 1 Cotillion. Challengers include 3 from the Pletcher barn: Green Up, Goddess of Fire, and Shahama. 

Steve Asmussen will run Society and Chad Brown will put the saddle on Gerrymander. No doubt, D. Wayne Lukas has the chalk in Kentucky Oaks winner Secret Oath.
