Plenty of changes today on the 11-race twilight card here Fri., if for no other reason than the absences of J.Leparoux and C.Borel. Leparoux is expected out several weeks with a tiny fracture in his lower back, while Borel has told CD publicity he should be back tomorrow, when he'll ride defending champ Brass Hat in the lone stakes here this weekend, the G3, $100k Lou 'Cap.
Fast track and a firm turf, but there are clouds galore above and around us, and the weatherman is calling for rain today, so stay abreast of that situation by the time the first race is run at 2:45 ET.
Quite the victory yesterday by the 3yo filly Connie and Michael, who absolutely cruised down the lane in taking a 1X alw. mile. Stakes engagements await, for sure.
Here follow the Fri. changes. Good luck today.
