Rain this morning has cleared, and gusty north-west winds are forecasted on a party cloudy afternoon. Lane 2 for the turf, which is labeled as good (10.4 GS).
No significant early scratches. Kevin Durant (Warriors) is the biggest scratch of the day.
All six OS 3yos in the $100K Bold Ruckus Stakes are trying the grass for the first time. Morning line favorite Souper Success won his penultimate start, the Woodstock Stakes, from a stalking position, and was fried in a speed duel most recently in the Queenston Stakes. He has some turf breeding on the dam's side, which is also the case with Bourbon Stritta, whose full-brother, Citius, won this six-furlong sprint.
Stretch-runner Society's Tiger's 8-1 morning line price is enticing, and Souper Hot could be the dominant speed under Eurico Da Silva.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is $15K.
