Churchill Downs 5-3-2013 - Kentucky Oaks Day Races 6-11

Updated from scratches 11:41am EST.

Card Notes- 
This is a decent card, with several competitive races.

My Race Rating System-  
I always give you 5 picks in each race to help you fill out your exotic bets.  In some races I may not use all 5 in my bets.  The A horse is ALWAYS my selected winner.  If no suggested plays are listed then I would not consider betting the race.  See the key below for how I label the races.

Weak - Poor races to invest in.  Usually too wide open.  Winner possible outside of my top 5.
Action - Some clarity in the race.  Possible use in Multirace or small Exacta bet.  Winner likely in top 4 or 5.
Play - Lots of clarity in the race.  Good Exacta or Trifecta play.  Can usually get by with A or B horse in the Multi Race bets.
Prime - Excellent betting race or multirace single.  Single in Exacta, Trifecta or Multi Race bets

3 Kitten's Dumplings (4-1) - can close, turf #'s are better than dirt, working well, Maker 23% on Turf

Race Notes-

Cyber Secret could very well drill these, but a bounce by him would leave this open to a few others.

Suggested Plays: 




Race 10 - 1-1/16 miles TURF American Turf G2 - Action+ 
A - #4 Noble Tune (3-1) - I really like this horse, he closes well and is 2 for 2 at the distance

Race 11 - 1-1/8 miles Kentucky Oaks G1 - Action+ 
A - #8 Dreaming of Julia (3-1) - hard to knock, even a 10 pt bounce from her could win, seems on her toes, should get a good trip here
