A few key scratches in the upcoming Old Friends from Kentucky Downs - where All Right (8), Conquest Panthera (9) and Undrafted (11) were all taken out.
Giving a slight edge to Master Merion (12), who was scratched from Saturday's Tourist Mile in favor of this spot by trainer Wesley Ward. This horse is already a winner here, having won the Franklin Simpson at Kentucky Downs in 2017. Also proven at Kentucky Downs is Flatlined (6), who won this race in 2016 and was second in the Tourist Mile last year. On a whole, his form this year has not been as favorable.
