The temperature is hovering around freezing, and there's a strong west wind on this partly sunny day. The power harrow was been working up the track following yesterday's cancellation after the third race.
A whopping 193 horses were entered in the 16 races. Post time is 1:05 p.m., and the last race is scheduled for 8:38 p.m.
Pumpkin Rumble will try to win the G3 Valdedictory for the second year in a row under the retiring Eurico Da Silva. There are several intriguing shippers in the diverse field, most notably Fearsome and Surprise Twist, who ran 1-2 in a 12-furlong turf stakes at Far Hills in New Jersey Oct. 19.
Carded as the ninth, the 1 3/4-mile Valedictory launches the second of three Picks 4s on the program.
The two Picks 5s begin on second and seventh races.
There's a mandatory payout on both the Jackpot Hi 5 (c/o $80K) and the Jackpot Pick 6 (c/o $27K).
