Hoosier Park Race 8

Race 8

Prize Money: $30,581

COACH STEFANOS (1) finished sixth last start, beaten 20 metres at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Finds a nice race and will be a major force. LITTLE ROCKET MAN (3) drew wide last start and was easily accounted for, beaten 30 metres into eighth at Dayton Raceway over 1609m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to return to form. NOBLESVILLE (6) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1609m at this track. M M S BUD (5) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 1609m at this track last time out.
