Ellis Park Full-Card Analysis: Sunday, July 2, 2017
The Fourth of July extended opening weekend at Ellis Park rolls onward on Sunday, July 2 with a nine-race program on tap and a $41,000, one-mile entry-level allowance affair on the grass going as the featured eighth race on the program.
Allied Racing Stable, LLC’s American Cowgirl is the 3-1 morning line choice in the field of 12 fillies and mares, as the bay daughter of Cowboy Cal is coming of a respectable fourth-place effort on the weeds at Churchill Downs and has never been worse than second on grass at Ellis Park. She will break from post 11.
