ON the turf on yielding ground. Lane 1 + 5 feet on a cloudy day.

The G3 Maple Leaf should be down to a five-horse field after the scratches of Stella Rose, Sweater Weather and Midnight Crossing, who all ran in yesterday's River Memories Stakes.

The 10-furlong Maple Leaf could be showdown between last year's winner, Ice Festival, and Gamble's Ghost, who barely defeated Ice Festival in the nine-furlong allowance prep.

The $100K Labeeb is between Shakhimat, Field of Courage and Glenville Gardens. The latter romped in this one-mile overnight stakes last year, on a course labeled as good. Money Talker and Dimension are scratched, leaving a field of four rounded out by Tower of Texas.

Patrick Husbands and Luis Contreras are both at Del Mar to ride in the BC.

The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $50K.
