CENTURY MILE: Scratches, stakes double-header

There are two scratche on the 8-race card that begins at 1:45 p.m. Mountain.

Race 4: (2) Bring Cash

Race 8: (5) Shimshine

Hastings-based Good Luck to You looks like the one to beat in the $75,000 Shirley Vargo Handicap. She is coming off back-to-back runner-up finishes behind Here's Hannah who was the Horse of the Year in British Columbia last year. Her trainer Phil Hall thinks Good Luck to You will thrive running on a mile track for the fist time. How she will handle the muddy track remains to be seen. Raider heads the local contingent in the one-mile race for fillies and mares.

Trainer Tim Rycroft holds a strong hand with Trooper John and Stone Carver in the $50,000 Fred Jones Handicap for 3-year-olds and up. Stone Carver easily handled his stablemate going 7 furlongs over a muddy track in the Spangled Jimmy but has yet to win going a middle-distance. He hasn't lost in three starts at Century Mile, though, and his breeding suggests he should be able to carry his speed the 1 1/16 miles distance of the Fred Jones. Trooper John can run all day and is perfect at the distance. However, he seemed to have a hard time handling the muddy surface last time and it looks like he'll have to deal with the same kind of track.
