Greetings from Turfway Park, where the synthetic main track is, of course, listed as fast as the field for today's first of 11 races warms up. It's damp and brisk out there, with some rain expected later.
No changes for the main event, the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby, or the revived Kentucky Cup Classic - but a few changes elsewhere, including the scratch of Classy Music, who I thought was live at a price, out of the Grade 3 Bourbonette Oaks.
Race 3: Scratch #13, Grandpa Frank, who was AE
Race 4: Scratch #10, Remember the Alimo
Race 5: Scratch #10, She's Da Nuts
Race 6, the $75,000 Latonia: Scratch the AEs, #13, Valentine Rosie, and #14, No Sweat
Race 7, the $75,000 Rushaway: Scratch the AE, #13, Ceduna
Race 9, the $100,000 Bourbonette Oaks: Scratch #1, Classy Music, and #7, Mauk's Tuff
Race 12: Scratch the AEs, #13, Lady to the Max, and #14, Lou's Chardonnay
