With the first of 12 Pegasus Day races being an off-the-turf maiden races for 3yos, OLYMPIC RUNNER dominated as the 6-5 favorite from the opening steps, leading all 1 1/16 miles over sloppy going. Paco Lopez was up for owner Gary Barber and trainer Mark Casse. The full order was 1-7-12-9-5.

The 11:30 a.m. ET opener was the first of 3 turf races to be transferred to the main track, with the others being the first two stakes, the GP Turf Sprint (R3) and the Ladies' Turf Sprint (R5). The other turf races (R6, R8, R10, R11) remain ON for now. There's been a steady drizzle here all morning, with no apparent signs of a let-up as the afternoon unfolds.
