The first of six Friday evening cards begins at 7:00 p.m. The scheduled post time for the last race is 10:00 p.m. If the past is any indication there will be a late-arriving young crowd that will just be starting to get warmed up when the last race finishes.
A $20,000 overnight handicap for 3-year-olds, Race 3, and a $25,000 optional claiming race for 3-year-olds and up in the sixth race will serve as co-features.
Spicing up the decent card is a wide-open maiden special race for 2-year-olds going six furlongs in the second race.
Here are the three scratches:
Race 1: (2) The Grey One
Race 2: (8) English Bay
Race 7: (2) Sheri Sugar Rush
The track is fast and at 74 degrees Fahrenheit it is a beautiful night for racing.
