Indiana Downs Oaks and Derby Today. 5 Stakes Races in late afternoon.
.
Wednesday, July 8, 2020. Indiana Downs is dominating the stakes scenes today with 5 stakes races including two Grade 3’s, the Indiana Derby and Oaks. The stakes racing begins at 5:38ET and continues until the Indiana Derby scheduled for 7:45ET. 12 races are on the great midweek card.
.
In the Derby, most of the action will be going to the two favorites. Winning Impression last out finished 4th in Arkansas Derby 1, 8 lengths behind Charlatan, and Major Fed who had a miserable Matt Winn but before that finished 4th in the Louisiana Derby and 2nd in the Risen Star. Shared Sense is also low on the morning line and looks good going into his first graded race.
.
Enough of the chalk, let’s talk some long shots. Earner is 8-1 ML but that could go down since he has put up good performances in all 3 of his races. This will be his first stakes race but he has beaten another in the field, Extraordinary who also has some good performances.
.
Necker Island got 5th in the Matt Winn and finished just a couple lengths back to Shared Sense last out. He has consistent speed but hangs up in the stretch. No Getting Over Me is also worth mentioning and has a chance to hit the board at good odds.
.
In the Oaks, Shedaresthedevil is the graded stakes winner of the field and will be the favorite accordingly. But this field is wide open and very competitive, so it’s a good one to take your changes on long shots like Fire Coral, Alandra, Spartanka, and Miss T Too.
