The heat is gone and fall is here in the Blue Grass, where college students will be pouring thru the Keeneland gates soon trying to win some of the $30,000 being raffled off in the semi-annual College Scholarship Day. It's a beautiful sunny day, if a bit cold (high of 60), and as always it's a great day for horse racing. We're fast and firm, and first post is 1:05 ET.

The feature today is a good one: the G3, $100k Franklin County Stakes (R9), which goes at 5:30 as part of a late pick-4 (R7-10) with a $200k pool guarantee. One notable scratch is RUBY NOTION (12), winner of stakes at Saratoga and Ky. Downs in her last 2 starts.

Early SCRATCHES: R1-(6); R2-(5); R4-(6, 8, 10); R5-(1, 7); R6-(11); R7-(12, 13); R9-(12, 14, 16); R10-(4).
