Some light rain this morning, with a west wind. No turf racing today.
Pink Lloyd goes for an unprecedented eighth consecutive Woodbine stakes score in the G2 Kennedy Road. His second-place finish to champion Stacked Deck in last year's Kennedy Road was the last time that the son of Old Forester lost.
Ikerrin Road has acutally gotten higher recent Beyers on the Tapeta (100 + 102) compared to Pink Lloyd's last few figs. There were earned in victories in the G3 Bold Venture and the six-furlong allowance prep for the Kennedy Road. Ikerrin Road drew ideally on the outside in the seven-horse field, and could have a good trip tracking the odds-on favorite.
New York turf expert Tombelaine is making his first synthetic track start following a $100K claim and a victory in a one-mile optional claimer at Belmont. Three-quarters seems a little short for him.
Cummings Road and Atypical are both scratched from the 10th race. There were re-entered Wednesday. The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $62K.
