It's going to reach the mid-80s yet one more time today at Keeneland, making it the fourth straight hot afternoon to start off this 17-day fall meet, with the weather forecasters calling for a periodic 40-50 percent chance of rain before the last of 8 races is run here today at 4:57 ET. A cold front arrives by tomorrow, so yeah, time to put the short sleeves and sun dresses back in the closet.

Fast and firm, with first post at 1:05 ET. The 10th and final Breeders' Cup Win and You're In event of the meet, the G2 Jessamine, anchors a terrific Wednesday card as race 7. Chad Brown has the lukewarm M/L 7-2 favorite in the Jessamine in FIERCE SCARLETT among a field of 14 2yo fillies scheduled to go 1 1/16 miles on the turf. MY GAL BETTY and MORAVIA, the two 4-1 second choices on the early line, both are notable early scratches from the Jessamine.

Early SCRATCHES: R2-(8); R3-(6, 14, 15, 16) (13 runs); R4-(4, 5, 14, 15) (13 runs); R5-(all AEs); R6-(1, 5); R7-(9, 13, 15) (16 runs); R8-(13).
