Eurico Da Silva made a triumphant return from a suspension by scoring a triple on the 10-race card. His ride in the ninth on shipper Lauderdale was eventful, because the son of Silent Name lugged in badly through the stretch, en route to a neck score over Ginger Sky.

Patrick Husbands doubled up, including on the favored Bayerd in the featured second-level optional claimer that had a blanket finish among the top five runners. Last year's Prince of Wales Stakes winner, Cool Catomine, was declared a non-starter after breaking through the gate a split second before the others.  

Leading trainer Norm McKnight sent out Bayerd and runner-up Giant Storm in the seventh, along with fourth-race victor Reimagined. Amazingly, he has yet to miss the board with 21 starters at the meet, during which he's recorded 12 wins, 4 seconds and 5 thirds.

The handle was a solid $4.5 million.

Racing resumes Friday, when the Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $4K.
