This Saturday’s feature at Churchill Downs is the Grade III Commonwealth Turf Stakes.  It is one of the last chances for the sophomore turf set to run against their own age group…and one of the last chances for live stakes-quality turf racing in the midwest before winter sets in.

The race drew a competitive field of eleven.  I don’t see a lot of pace — and I do see a big price who may just take the race from flag fall to “that’s all”.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read my preview of the Commonwealth Turf, and let me know your thoughts in the comments!
