Practically the entire field of seven older sprinters in Tuesday’s $50,000 Clem McFadden Memorial Route 66 Stakes at Will Rogers Downs is coming back quickly from a good performance.
Five horses who were either first or second within the past three weeks are wheeling back for the six-furlong open stakes, including recent restricted stakes winner Johnny Whip and old-timer Humble Smarty, a 17-time winner who returns to his best distance following a strong effort in a two-turn stakes at Oaklawn Park.
