The morning cloud cover has burned off and it's about the nicest day of the meet today, with temperatures right about 78 degrees. Track fast, turf firm, turf rails set at 24 feet (the widest setting is 30 feet).

Here are the late scratches and jockey changes on today's card:

Race 2: scratch number 3

Race 3: scratch numbers 1 and 8; pick six starts here. There is $98,098 in the single-ticket jackpot carryover

Race 4: scratch AE's 10-12

Race 6: scratch AE 11

Race7: scratch 2

Race 8: scratch 8, 11, 12 and 13. Note that 14 got in. And because of that, Desormeaux rides 14. Put Puglisi on number 2, which was Desormeaux's second call in case 14 didn't get in.
