Check out my Tuesday (3-17-26) Will Rogers Downs Race 5 analysis below.

WRD 5 (Str-Alw-7.5k, 4&up, 8f dirt) – Post Time  4:08 PM ET
Primary – #4 PRINCE RAMA, #5 Shadowless
Secondary – #6 Bourbon Life

Horse Comments:

#4 Prince Rama (7-2) shipped to this oval, chased from second, and cruised by 5+ lengths at this distance vs. $5k claimers Feb. 23. Quality local rider Leandro Goncalves sticks with the 15-time winner and he should make his presence felt from the outset.

#5 Shadowless (5-1) dueled and prevailed by a head in a local $5k claimer at this distance March 9 and Mark Anderson is 1-for-10 first after the claim. The 4-time flat mile winner frequently runs his race at Will Rogers (10-2-2-4).

#6 Bourbon Life (3-1) had his 3-race trifecta streak snapped when missing the show by a half-length in a slow early/fast late event at this course and distance March 9. He should get pace to chase this time and might rally for a share.
