There is plenty of great Horse Racing across America on Wednesday, including at Churchill Downs race track. We have been in fine form with our picks for a long time now and we are up +141.15 units with our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. Let’s keep it rolling!

Here are our best bets for today’s action at Churchill Downs race track.

1:30 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 2) – Air Combat 2/1 (2-star play)

Air Combat showed good form for his previous handler, including when winning by 4.5 lengths in an allowance over 6 furlongs at Churchill Downs at the end of September last year. The son of Blame has been placed since but hasn’t raced since a last of 9 over 6 furlongs at Oaklawn Park in January.

The 4-year-old has shown up well in the mornings and can help Brad Cox to improve on his 28% strike-rate (9/32) at this meeting.

3:01 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 5) – Palace Kitten 5/2 (2-star play)

The veteran Palace Kitten showed good form when registering a nose 2nd in a 6.5-furlong $20,000 claiming contest at Keeneland last month. The pick joined the stable of Jerry O’Dwyer subsequently and debuted for him with a fair 6.25-length 5th over 6 furlongs when contesting a $32,000 claimer at Churchill Downs earlier this month.

The return to a $20,000 claimer is a positive move today and he is taken to deliver his 6th career win with jockey Luis Saez booked for the ride.

4:01 pm ET Churchill Downs (Race 7) – Attache 2/1 (2-star play)

The 3-year-old Attache showed good form when winning by a length in a 7-furlong $50,000 claiming contest at this venue just under 2 months ago. He followed up a 3rd at Keeneland with an impressive 4.75-length victory in a $50,000 6.5-furlong claiming contest at this track.

The son of Violence joined current trainer Chris A Hartman following that event and is taken to complete a double stepping up half a furlong in distance in his first start in starter allowance company.
