Check out my Tuesday (3-31-26) Turf Paradise Race 5 analysis below.
Scratches (race 5): #2 You’reinthearmynow, #7 John Dunbar
Updated Tickets After Scratches:
TUP 5 (Str-OC-12.5k, 4&up, 6f dirt) – Post Time 6:09 PM ET
Primary – #6 CHASING RAIN, #8 Lansdowne
Secondary – #3 Truth Seeker
Horse Comments:
#6 Chasing Rain (5-2) wired the field in three of his last four local dirt sprints and two of those victories were at this distance. He exits a sharp local score as the favorite and should be all over the pace for a productive jockey-trainer team.
#8 Lansdowne (8-1) earned a decent number in a fast local flat mile affair March 3. He is a 6-time winner at six panels and an outside tactical trip is expected.
#3 Truth Seeker (5-1) finished in the top three in his last three starts. The 10-year-old gelding has a good overall record at this course and distance, and he should be closing in the stretch.
