Saturdays Louisville H. (G3) attracted 11 runners for 1 1/2 miles over Churchill Downs turf. The field seems to be lacking in speed. EAGLE POISE might show the way early and he won an entry-level allowance at Woodbine last year which was his last win. Defending champion BRASS HAT will be rallying late under Calvin Borel and deserves serious respect off his runner-up effort in the Elkhorn S. (G2) at Keeneland, although he is 9 years old, so its hard to say if he is the same horse.Grade 1 winner TELLING is eligible to improve off a tightener in his seasonal bow last time. He won the Sword Dancer (G1) last year by 2 convincing lengths, and if he brings that race, he should win. Another old timer, Silverfoot is 10 years old, and would have been a contender back in his day , and even won this race twice back in 2005 and 2006, but he might find himself searching for his former self down the lane - this will be his 40th career race and he is the sentimental pick.BEARPATH experienced a troubled trip when seventh in the Elkhorn last time and merits consideration here. Prior to that he won the Grade 2 Pan American at Gulfstream Park at this 1 1/2 mile distance. March to Victory is interesting in that he has the speed figures to win here, but he has been racing at much shorter distances, usually under 1 1/4 miles, and now he goes 1 1/2 today. Tough call, but Christophe Clemente is the trainer and he knows where to point his charges. Hidden Glance and Silver Mountain look like candidates for a minor award. Spy in the Sky is coming from 2 1/2 mile hurdle races, so its anyones guess what he will do.Free Fighter and Blushing Bear round out the field.
