The third race was somewhat unique in that it drew two 9-year-olds, Gruff and Smoken Smoke. And the pair were former stablemates who were to run on separate teams this afternoon. But Gruff has been scratched, so no grudge match of sorts. With his scratch, there is no surperfecta wagering on the upcoming third race. Below are more changes on the 12-race card that is being run under cloudy skies and temperatures in the mid-70s. The main track is fast and the turf is firm.
In the fourth race, scratch No. 6, Turnleftatthelight; there are no current changes in races 5-8; in the ninth race, take out No. 2, Z Miss America; there are no changes in the 10th; in the 11th race make Chris Landeros the rider on the 1A; in the 12th, scratch No. 6, Adios Agent.
