Preakness 142 graded line by The Green Sheet
Churchill Downs Full-Card Analysis: Saturday, May 20, 2017
The 11-race Preakness Day program at Churchill Downs is highlighted by a pair of graded stakes races–the $100,000 Matron Stakes (G3) for fillies and mares three-years-old and up to be contested at a mile and a sixteenth trip on the main track, and the Louisville Handicap (G3T) for three-year-olds and up to be run over the Matt Winn Turf Course going a mile and a half.
South Florida invader Curlin’s Approval, a two-time graded stakes winner thus far in 2017, is the 8-5 morning line favorite for the Matron (G3) while Danish Dynaformer is the tepid 4-1 choice in the Louisville Handicap (G3T) for trainer Roger Attfield. The son of Dynaformer is coming off a respectable fourth-place finish in the 12-furlong Elkhorn Handicap (G2T) at Keeneland on April 22.
The Green Sheet had four winners–highlighted by Forgive’s ($15.40) game score in the eighth race–on Friday’s nine-race program in Louisville in addition to giving out a pair of trifectas and superfectas. 12 days into the meet, The Sheet is giving out FREE winners at a 23 percent clip with its’ top selection in each race finishing in the money 54 percent of time.
