Off the turf on this rainy day, except for the $225K Cup and Saucer, an important stakes for Canadian-bred 2yos that will be run in lane 2 over yielding ground (8.8 GS).
Off a wide fourth in the G1 Summer, first-Lasix user Avie's Flatter is the deserving favorite in the mile and a sixteenth Cup and Saucer, but there are other worthy contenders. Bold Script is coming off a respectable third in the G1 Natalma, and another filly, Kitten's Girl, was a sharp debut winner against a modest group on the lawn. The filly Dixie Moon won this event last year. Just Like Larry is scratched.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $39K heading into the 11th and final race, a $10K route that could belong to Bold Animaux.
MTO Alnilah is a serious contender in the second, from which Patton's Girl is scratched.
