There are three scratches on the 9-race card that begins at 1:15 p. m. Mountain.
Race 1: (3) Press Gang
Race 4: (9) Alberta Dancer
Race 5: (5) Hipplepotomus
The $100,000 Harvest Plate headlines the Canadian Thanksgiving card and anchors a Pick 4 that begins on Race 6 with a $15,000 guaranteed pool.
The 7-furlong dash for 3-year-olds and up is a wide-open event with (7) Sir Bronx the 3-1 morning-line favorite. He just set the track record for the distance but he wants to be invovled early and there is plenty of other speed in the field. The race could set up for (6) Hemlock Channel who won the inaugural running of the race last year.
On the other hand in Race 7, (2) Escape Clause will be a short price to win the $50,000 Lynn Choinard Founders Distaff. She is 4-5 on the morning-line and will probably go off at lower odds in the 1 1/16 miles race.
There is also a $4,131 carryover on the Pick 5 which begins on Race 3.
The current temperature is below freezing and there are snow flurries are in the area. The track is rated good.
