Debut winners top field of 11 in Bashford Manor

Robert Masterson’s 2 ½-length debut winner Glacial along with Winchell Thoroughbreds’ 1 ¾-length victor Red Run and Willis Horton Racing’s 1 ½-length first-out winner Lansdowne top a field of 11 2-year-olds that was entered in Saturday’s 120th running of the $150,000 Bashford Manor (G3) at Churchill Downs.

The six-furlong Bashford Manor was made Race 9 with a post time of 4:55 p.m. (all times Eastern). The 12-race card has a first post of 12:45 p.m. The Bashford Manor is one of seven stakes on closing day of the 38-day Spring Meet. The other stakes are the $600,000 Stephen Foster (G2), $300,000 Fleur de Lis (G2), $300,000 Wise Dan (G2), $150,000 Debutante (Listed), $150,000 Tepin and $150,000 War Chant.

Glacial, trained by Norm Casse, won his first-career start under jockey Joe Talamo. The son of Frosted completed 5 ½ furlongs in 1:04.99 and earned an 80 Brisnet Speed Rating. The gray colt will break from post No. 4 under Talamo.

Five posts to the outside of Glacial is Red Run. Trained by record six-time Bashford Manor winner Steve Asmussen, the homebred rallied from three lengths off the early pace in his debut win over the sloppy surface at Churchill Downs at odds of 3-5 under jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. Red Run is by the former Asmussen-trained champion Gun Runner. Santana will have the return call for Saturday’s Bashford Manor.

Lansdowne was a minor 5-1 upset winner in his debut for trainer Dallas Stewart. The Super Saver colt recorded a front-running score in a five-furlong maiden special weight contest on May 22. Veteran jockey Jon Court will have the mount from post 2.
